    Some people popped champagne in front of the new Çamlıca mosque. It’s ok if you drink alcohol but please respect others’ religious sensitivities. I can’t believe I actually feel the need to say this.

    It's not enough for me to support simply because he's is an "alternative". I also can't like the party behind it, given its history. At the same time, it is good to have a contrast with the ruling party because it is never good to have too much concentration of power.

    when the Revolution started Syrians’ first chant was الموت ولا المذلة - meaning ‘death over indignity’. all they asked for was dignity. and they were stripped of it in every way imaginable- and an ultimate time in host countries which fail to understand war.

    While Imamoglu's victory may be a win for Turkey's failing democracy, the CHP's xenophobic, Assad-aligned rhetoric against Syrian refugees is deeply concerning for many Syrians living in Istanbul and across Turkey.

    I’m so glad(!) Turkish racists have caught up with Western racists. Many now begin their sentences with “I’m not a racist but....” I’m so proud of us guyyysss

    I hope this will stay online and won’t translate into actions, but seriously this is the best time for Syrians in Turkey to mobilise and organise themselves to deal with whoever is in charge and to stop this charade

    This a 1000 times over. Your islamophobia that you’ve been hiding reeks all over my timeline

    side note - had akp won, most analysts and western journos out there tweeting ‘democracy in Turkey lives’ would have not tweeted that and would instead be tweeting whatever islamophobic crap about authoritarianismin in turkey. kindly check yourselves, because you are sick.

    So true. People in still have faith in democracy despite all the country has gone through

    Imagine this country... Where people come back from vacations only to vote... In an election that was already stolen. So much faith in the possibility that things could be otherwise...

    You have no idea how many Syrians friends told me of hearing CHP people saying to them "if we win, we kick you out" in the past month. Let's pray the situation won't get bad. I am worried.

    It’s significant because AKP lost Istanbul after a long time (17years?). Hope the change works out for the best.
