Erdogan is a horribel dictator!
Glad to have visited Hagia Sophia already. During my visit in Istanbul in 2013 there were massive protest against Erdogan's plans to remove a park to build a shopping mall, and the police was very violent against the demonstrators. All the people on Taksim Square, including tourists had to flee from the police! Haven't seen anything like it in any other country. Except for that, we had a really great time in the beautiful city of Istanbul.
