"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. Thousands of protestors gathered between The City Hall, which was opened in 1970, the Byzantian Valens aqueduct built in the 4th BC and the 16th century Ottoman mosque of Şehzade Mehmet (1), stopped shouting and stay silent when the call to prayer began. Even this picture is enough to show how Turkey, and especially Istanbul, are stuck between the two while uniting east and west."
