Mustafa, Illustrator does that to ensure backwards compatibility, to allow user to read the content as it was originally created when the file is read back, when users try to 'open' it with Illustrator. Please check, does this behavior stay when you uncheck the 'Preserve Illustrator editing capabilities' option when you export (save) the file.
