Beşiktaş Çarşı Grubu ultras of Besiktas (Turkey)
Beşiktaş Çarşı Grubu (referred to simply as Çarşı) is the best known supporter group of BJK (Beşiktaş Gymnastics Club, notably including the Beşiktaş football club).
At their home ground in Vodafone Arena, Çarşı locate themselves on the Kapalı (Covered Stand) and are known for their social and political commentary, choreography, and genuine manner of chanting.There are lots of catch-phrases of the group, “Çarşı, her şeye
karşı!” (English: ‘’Çarşı is against everything!”') being probably the
most famous one. Çarşı's symbol refers to the symbol of anarchism and has a common fame for the left-leaning character of its supporters who are regarded as anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-sexist, pluralist and ecologistIn May 2008, Çarşı disbanded itself unexpectedly. However, in the 2013 Turkish protests, Çarşı was a central mobilizing force for anti-Erdogan protests.Çarşı separates itself from the other fan groups by its members' attitude during the matches, and with their placards.
The group was formed in 1981–82 season and their fame began to spread
in the '90s. Çarşı does not have a homogenous structure and it does not
consist of a certain group of people with a specific identity. People
from different social backgrounds, cultural environments, and ethnic
origins are assembled at the group even though they support opposite
ways of thinking in terms of politics or ideologies. An all-around antagonist image and attitude represent the basic characteristics of the group.
