Çarşı ampule karşı / Allahını seven defansa gelsin

Title: Çarşı ampule karşı / Allahını seven defansa gelsin
Alternative Title: Çarşı is against the lightbulb / Come to the defense for gods sake
Description: The graffiti on the left references the Beşiktaş football team fan group Çarşı. "Çarşı ... karşı" (Çarşı is against ...) was sort of a meme at the time due to the rhyme and Çarşı being known for their disorderly tendencies. The lightbulb refers to the logo of the ruling party AKP.

The graffiti on the right jokingly repeats a line that is often used in amateur (especially children's) football games. It analogizes the defense line in football to front defense in the riots.
