Tag #125355 - Interview #97653 (Rebeka Evgin)

We were living in Sishane during the events of 6-7 September events [10].  We had Greek neighbors.  Our doorman wrapped himself up in the Turkish flag, and said “if you enter through this door, you trample the flag”.  Our house was saved from looters in this way.  The scene in Beyoglu was horrendous.  The cakes and chocolates of the pastry shops were all over the streets.  The thought “we weren’t able to afford them, you don’t eat them too”  was prevalent.  The furs, jewelry on the ground, people desolate.  It was said that this event happened because of a few looters.  The government defended itself like that.
