"İstanbul is the center of decisive protests in the country these days, when the unstable weather of spring closes and opens the sky. The arbitrary detention of Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was the mayor for two terms and was considered certain to be the next president, raised the society to its feet. Daily life, trade and universities, not only in Istanbul but also in the country, froze in the hazy shade of the unpredictable future. As of March 19, people of all ages, especially students, set off from various points of this megacity to fill the square in front of the modernist municipality building in the center of the historical peninsula."
