| Description: | A small wooden hut is set up in the centre of the Taksim stadı playing field. To its left, three firemen in uniform and helmets are arranging a fire hose. About a dozen more men, barefoot and dressed in light three-quarter pants, long-sleeved jerseys and with a shawl wrapped around their heads, are in action around the hut. Two are standing on the roof fixing another hose. Others are tearing down planks from it, more are watching. Behind them is a tall structure set up for more demonstrations, but unattended. The stands around the field are crowded. |
