Yes Teresa, you are right - for the simple reason that most will just take a sick leave on Monday and the whole thing will add up to 9 days!

Monday 29th Aug. is half day for civil servants but you better stay away unless you have urgent business. Tuesday, Wed. and Thur. three days proper Bayram. Not sure if Friday is a working day for civil servants. Private sector will work on Mon. and Fri. and even some on Thur.
