Taksim Square ({{lang-tr|Taksim Meydanı}}, {{IPA-tr|ˈtaksim ˈmejdanɯ|IPA}}), situated in Beyoğlu in the European part of Istanbul, Turkey, is a major tourist and leisure district famed for its restaurants, shops, and hotels. It is considered the heart of modern Istanbul, with the central station of the Istanbul Metro network. Taksim Square is also the location of the Republic Monument ({{lang-tr|Cumhuriyet Anıtı}}) which was crafted by Pietro Canonica and inaugurated in 1928. The monument commemorates the 5th anniversary of the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, following the Turkish War of Independence. HistoryThe word Taksim means "division" or "distribution". Taksim Square was originally the point where the main water lines from the north of Istanbul were collected and branched off to other parts of the city (hence the name.) This use for the area was established by Sultan Mahmud I. The square takes its name from the Ottoman era stone reservoir which is located in this area. Another significant building that once stood on the square was the 19th century Taksim Artillery Barracks (Taksim Kışlası, which later became the Taksim Stadium), but it was demolished in 1940 during the construction works of the Taksim Gezi Park.[1] Taksim Gezi Park is a small green park in the midst of the concrete expanse of central Istanbul. In 2013, the city municipality, wanting to demolish the park to add further shopping venues, began forcefully removing protesters who had set up camp in the park. After news spread of the police brutality, thousands of people rallied in the Occupy Taksim movement, to stop the demolition of the park. As the current status of the demolition project is in limbo, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has the Police stationed in and around Taksim Square ready with riot control equipment to deter any large demonstrations.[2] Present dayTaksim is a main transportation hub and a popular destination for both tourists and residents of Istanbul. İstiklal Caddesi (Independence Avenue), a long pedestrian shopping street, ends at this square, and a nostalgic tram runs from the square along the avenue, ending near the Tünel (1875) which is the world's second-oldest subway line after London's Underground (1863). In addition to serving as the main transfer point for the municipal bus system, Taksim Square is also the terminus of the Hacıosman-4. Levent-Taksim-Yenikapı subway line of the Istanbul Metro. Taksim's position was given an extra boost on June 29, 2006, when the new Kabataş-Taksim Funicular line F1 connecting the Taksim Metro station with the Kabataş tramway station and Seabus port was opened, allowing people to ascend to Taksim in just 110 seconds.[3] Surrounding Taksim Square are numerous travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, pubs, and international fast food chains such as Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Subway, and Burger King. It is also home to some of Istanbul's grandest hotels including the InterContinental, the Ritz-Carlton, and The Marmara Hotel. Taksim is also a favourite location for public events such as parades, New Year celebrations, or other social gatherings. Atatürk Cultural Center (Atatürk Kültür Merkezi), a multi-purpose cultural center and opera house, is also located at Taksim Square. Demonstrations and incidentsThe square has been an important venue for political protests during much of its existence. Groups from all sides of the political spectrum in Turkey, as well as many NGOs, try to demonstrate in this square in order to use its visibility for the benefit of their cause.
Following many other violent incidents, all forms of group protests were banned in the square and the police units maintained a round-the-clock presence to prevent any incidents. The ban did not apply to surrounding avenues or streets. Today, Taksim Square is once again the starting point or destination of many political demonstrations; moreover, mass meetings on Labour Day were permitted for the first time in 2010 and have been taking place peacefully ever since. However, gatherings for events such as New Year's Eve, Republic Day celebrations, or mass-screenings of important football matches are excluded from the ban. The annual Istanbul Pride takes place on the square as well.[5] Gezi Park protests{{main|2013–14 protests in Turkey}}In 2013, protests took place in Taksim in opposition to the reconstruction of the Ottoman era Taksim Military Barracks (demolished in 1940 for building the Gezi Park) and a shopping center on the land plot of the Gezi Park.[6] In the early morning of May 31, the Police forces moved in on the demonstrators and people sleeping in tents, and tried to disperse them with tear gas, pepperspray and water cannons.[7][8] The demonstrators also criticized Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has held office for more than ten years, for his uncompromising stance on this controversial issue and for the Turkish police's excessive use of force against the demonstrators.[9] The large number of trees that were cut in the forests of northern Istanbul for the construction of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge (Third Bosphorus Bridge) and the new Istanbul International Airport[10][11][12][13] (the world's largest airport, with a capacity for 150 million passengers per year)[10][12][14] were also influential in the public sensitivity for protecting Gezi Park. According to official Turkish government data, a total of 2,330,012[17][18] trees have been cut for constructing the Airport and its road connections; and a total of 381,096[17][18] trees have been cut for constructing the highway connections of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge;[17][18] reaching an overall total of 2,711,108[17][18] trees which were cut for the two projects.[15][16][17] Notes and references1. ^{{cite web|url=http://wowturkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=668|title=Yok olan İstanbul Taksim Meydanı - Topçu Kışlası yeniden inşa ediliyor!|website=wowturkey.com}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.todayszaman.com/news-316733-protestors-stand-guard-at-istanbuls-gezi-park-to-prevent-demolition.html |newspaper=Today's Zaman |title=Police disperse protesters with pepper spray to continue partial demolition of Gezi Park |date=2013-05-28 |accessdate=2013-06-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130623220919/http://www.todayszaman.com/news-316733-protestors-stand-guard-at-istanbuls-gezi-park-to-prevent-demolition.html |archivedate=2013-06-23 |df= }} 3. ^Taksim-Kabataş funicular subway connection {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070517124422/http://www.iett.gov.tr/en/haberdetay.php?nid=27 |date=2007-05-17 }} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2010/10/2010103185656175601.html |title=Suicide blast hits Istanbul |work=Al Jazeera |date=31 October 2010 |accessdate=31 October 2010}} 5. ^Gay Pride in Istanbul – The LGBTT Parade Hits Taksim Square! - Turkey - WorldNomads.com.
