Let's zoom in the begging issue. Let's evaluate the name beggar ascribed to people suffering from poverty. I wonder who forces these people to beg in my country? I wonder how many people, who have enough money to sacrifice an animal for God at Muslim Festival Of Sacrifices, give meats of the animal to poor people who need it really.

Cemil Atmaca Bloody Bread 7/10/2008
My life passed in poverty, in sheds, in jerry built squatter houses made of oil cans. I have struggled to learn a living. I have never sulked to life although I am living in same conditions even in 2000’s. In Yahya Kemal, a deeply poor Romani neighborhood, Romani people have been leaving the troubles away and living freely and also happily. Romani people, who are known with their penchant for freedom, are living happily in solidarity for isolation from captivity. Since the members of a Romani family have no money for next days, they are living with their daily bread. A family with six or seven members can hardly earn enough money through the day. Gypsies who have been forced to live for the day, have no social insurance and are living in sheds made of tin, have a deep love towards the country and Turkishness. Romani people who have being treated due to Urban Transformation which has forced them to live in places with maximum 66 square meters. We all love our country and want the politic games to end and we demand alternative urban transformation projects which will be helpful and useful for us to be accepted.
