Two Figures from Taksim

Being bound to a wheelchair hasn't stopped this man from having a good time on the streets of Taksim. Happy exceptions like him aside, Turkey is one of the least friendly places for disabled people.

Another figure, looking boldly into the future with a banner that proclaims the Armenien Genocide as "an imperialist lie!" He is a member of the Turkish Workers' Party, which sponsors a bizarre mix of Marxist leftist and ultra-nationalist ideas.
