Immigrant Cook Watches Turk | Armenian Demonstration

An immigrant cook watches a demonstration out his window on Istiklal Street in Istanbul. The demonstrators are about three hundred Turkish intellectuals who say the 24th of April should be commemorated for Armenians and Turks alike for Armenian claims of genocide. Armenians are only one of many groups that come into Turkey’s spinning top immigration system. 250,000 foreigners seek a better life by moving through Turkey, but few want to stay.
