Istanbul’s popular Istiklal Avenue was still buzzing with tourists and onlookers late Sunday afternoon, hours after a deadly blast rocked the area.
ISTANBUL, Turkey –
Most shops, usually open until late, pulled down their shutters after the blast, but some stayed open in a show of defiance. One couple ate fish on a terrace, a bottle of raki to hand, while those trying to lure passers-by into other restaurants raised their heads as a helicopter flew overhead.A single bar on the corner eschewed the football, a top-tier clash between Kayserispor and Konyaspor, and was showing a live statement in which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced the “vile attack”.
“Since we’re not staying very long, we’ve continued shopping , and we’ll go back tomorrow morning,” she said, clutching her pink suitcase in hand.
