Days are in Istanbul/ Taksim Square and the Protests

There's been lots of deteriorated news around the world about the facts of protests so we went to Taksim Square to see the real deal just a day before the police break into the area!

The first thing we saw that all the extremist and marginal groups were at Taksim.

Even DHKP-C the terrorist group were there. This group attacked to the US Embassy in Istanbul just months ago and killed more than 3 innocent people!

It was a crazy scene. They were ready for another attack! They got their gas masks and stones for another occupy! There were lots of mess and garbage around! It was a lawless area and very ugly.

The Square has some important historical monuments and they got covered by grafities. We got shocked, because some of these structures were from 15th to 18th century!

They were selling alcohol at the square even to the little kiddos! I think that was too much...

We stayed there about 15 minutes and headed into the Istiklal Street to get away from the craziness.

The Boys got a chance to play some street music and I took some pictures of vendors around us!

There are some pix from this day!
