Cengiz  shared the following statements:

* A great scandal in Beşiktaş! A group of aggressors attacked by machetes against young people including tourists. Their reason is based on "drinking alcohol in Ramadan."

* Chairs suddenly stormed in Alabeyi Street. Two young tourists were wounded, there was blood on their nose and  eyebrow.

* They were overtly attacked by machetes in Beşiktaş. Tourists in the young group are teachers in a private school. One tourist was wounded from her nose. They were under attack for drinking alcohol at pre-dawn to meal.

* One tourist had blood everywhere, you couldn't see his face for blood. They are fine now! However Turkish girls ran by us crying!

* We are together with them in the hospital for they will not be alone in a foreign place by a foreign language. They're fine now.

* And these events took place in Beşiktaş! Every single day, we hang out around these streets! (EKN/GOA/BM)
