Old news to some, but interesting nonetheless.

It is a photo that has come to symbolize the spirit of the Gezi protests that rocked Turkey at the beginning of June 2013. A man holding a banner from the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), a forerunner of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) in the search for Kurdish rights, leads what appears to be a woman holding an Atatürk flag away from a police attack in Taksim. In the foreground, another person flashes the ultranationalist Grey Wolf sign in defiance of the police.
