We stopped by the demonstration that took place in Beyazıt square to take pictures. I intended to take more photos but I lost interest quickly when I heard boring, long and cliché lslamist slogans and ranting and stepped into a coffehouse nearby and ended up playing cards. At least the one in Beyazıt turned out to be an Islamist show and lost common ground with non-Islamists. In fact, it was so disorganized that every Islamist group had its own agenda and I was hearing different slogans simultaneously. If things changed after me, I don’t know, but i don’t think so.. In addition to massive amount of Palestine flags, I saw Hezbollah and Chechen flags, too. There were so many high school kids, most of them were female ones probably from Islamic high schools…
