Hi all,
I have just arrived back this weekend from a wonderful week spent in Istanbul with my beautiful fiancee. We visited Taksim Square as we always do and could not help but notice a strong police presence yet again, on many occassions we have seen this and we wondered if this area is where the police do some of their training.
We both were sneezing and had watery eyes my immediate thought was tear-gas because I have felt this sensation before and we then noticed some other people visiting Taksim who were also sneezing could be a coincidence perhaps or maybe the police have been spraying tear gas? I like this area very much and it is always very busy we visit here everytime I visit Turkey

Welcome back Rich. Glad you got to see your Nesrin. I am not sure where the police train but I didn't notice anything strange when I was there in the spring. Perhaps it is the high concentration of mold in the air this time of year. Istanbul is a very old city and I am sure it has a lot of it. In any case, I can only hope that tear gas wasn't the cause, but you never know, do you?

Hi Elisabeth,
Thanks for your reply, yes I am glad also I saw her it is so good to see her again after only two months but back to work I must go. I am not sure maybe you have a good answer there I am sure there is alot of mold in the air I did not think of that at all. I cannot imagine they would spray tear gas anywhere near shoppers I only thought this when Nesrin told me they hold protests here in this area
