ANKARA, June 10 (Reuters) - The Turkish Competition

Board said on Tuesday it had opened an investigation into

Coca-Cola to determine whether the company violated

Turkey's competition law.

In a statement, the competition board said that an

investigation into Coca-Cola was launched after initial findings

of suspicions that the soft-drinks giant had implemented

practices aimed at preventing and obstructing the sales of its

competitors at its sales points.

The investigation will also examine whether Coca-Cola

complied with the commitments it submitted to the board in 2021,

the statement also said.

Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to a Reuters request

for comment.
