The nightlife takes place mainly in the areas of Taksim, on the Asiatic coast, in Kadikoy. Young people enjoying themselves in bars and clubs that have nothing to envy to the western cities.
*** General caption ***
Istanbul is changing face. The ruling party, AK Party, gave a twist to the country. On one hand, a slow and steady return to religious practices in everyday life, on the other hand the strong push to build new neighborhoods in the city. Entire areas are been demolished, thousands of people have moved to distant places. Some neighborhoods already have been slaughtered and rebuilt (not for old residents!), on others are working on. Some residents are struggling, others agree with the builders.
But the population begins to not passively accept this anymore.
First the troubles of Gezi Park, which the government wanted to destroy, and now the recent scandals affecting the sons of some ministers.
Meanwhile, however, the bulldozers are going on.
