Wall of Graffiti

Title: Wall of Graffiti
Description: This wall has been sprayed with many graffiti, presumably by multiple people. Two of the graffiti call out "O.Ç Tayyip", "O.Ç" being a common initialism for "child of a bitch" in Turkish and Tayyip being Erdoğan's unpreferred name. The yellow graffiti in the middle says "There's no resistance, only (re-)birth". The brown text in the bottom says "Mom we have no more lemons.", humorously referring to the use of lemons to counter the effects of tear gas. The red graffiti with the anarchy symbols says "aggressive eagle", presumably referring to the mascot of the football team Beşiktaş and its fan group Çarşı.
