Ither auries, aften isolatit commonties far oot o the ceety, are dominatit bi populations o migrants from Anatolia. These auries are an ethnic, releegious an poleetical meltin pot. In pairticular, ane aurie o Gaziosmanpaşa haes a substantial population o migrants frae Tunceli Province, a province mainly populatit bi fowk who claim baith Kurdish an Zaza identities. The mixtur o fowk plus the number o young fowk in the commonties haes at times gien Gaziosmanpaşa the unfortunate reputation for bein the centre o creeme an o left an richt wing violence in Istanbul, wi mony Istanbul fowk referrin tae the aurie as 'little Colombie'.

The ceety cooncil is tryin tae spend its wey oot o this situation bi puttin in sports facilities, theatres, shopping centres an better transport tae the ceety. But still mair an mair hoosin is bein built. As the aurie haes grown athoot sufficient control or regulations the ceety is still strugglin tae put in schuils an ither infrastructur throuoot Gaziosmanpaşa tae support the population, while industrial development is takkin place an awo.

The aurie itsel suffers frae unemployment despite the industrie comin in, an the main employers are sma wirkshops producin licht fittins, electrical guids, clothin, lathe an metalwirk an caur repairs.

The destrict wis namit efter Gazi Osman Pasha, a prominent Ottoman general who haed been active in the Balkans.

Güngören

**Güngören** () is a sma industrial an wirkin cless residential destrict o Istanbul, Turkey. It is locatit near the destrict o Bakırköy.  The mayor is Şakir Yücel Karaman (AKP).

## History
Güngören is haurd tae distinguish frae its neebourin destricts in the industrial aurie north o the E5 heich-gate, destricts sic as Merter or the poorer pairts o Bahçelievler. Lik thaim it haes seen a rapid an uncontrolled influx o migrants frae Anatolie syne the 1950s. In 1955 this wis an open space wi a sma veelage namit Vidos on it. Then a main road oot o the ceety tae the wast wis put throu here an fowk began tae big hooses near the road. Maist wur biggit illegally. The day thare are 237,000 crammed intae a ticht mass o cheap apairtment blocks. The destrict wis the steid o the 2008 Istanbul bombins.

## Güngören the day
The hoosin destricts o Güngören are slichtly aulder an better establisht than ither destricts o 1980s migrants tae the ceety, sic as Esenler or Bağcılar, but still conseest o narrae streets lined wi sax or sieven-story apairtment biggins wi nae space atween thaim. The difference is that the biggins are slichtly better-maintained an thare are mair shops in the streets. But still staundarts o livin are law.

Ither pairts o Güngören are faceless, nameless poorly-lit muddy roads lined wi factories. Creeme is a problem. Certainly the industrial estates are no walcomin efter daurk.

Lately, the municipality haes stairtit tae impruive the infrastructur, an haes extendit the tram frae Zeytinburnu tae impruive the transportation in an oot o the destrict.

## Reaction tae Recep İvedik
*We are uneasy that oor destrict is bein mentioned bi a character like İvedik,* proclaimed Abdullah Yılmaz, preses o the Youth Cooncil for Güngören Destrict, in response tae the release o the film Recep İvedik 3 featurin a "red neck" comedy character portrayed as residin in the destrict, *Güngören is a destrict whaur educatit an intellectual fowk live. It is no richt tae associate Güngören wi an impolite character who does no ken ony manners,* he continued afore statin that the cooncil wad tak action tae prevent the destrict frae bein mentioned in a fowert film in the series.

Housomeivver, twa saisons predominate: the ceuler, dry saison that typically lasts frae Juin tae November an brings licht drizzle, oceanic coastal fog, mild tae wairm temperaturs, an mainly owercast skies. Aw o these characteristics are evident due tae the presence o the cauld Humboldt Current that flows north frae Peru an Chile. Awtho this is considered the dry saison for the actual total rain amoont at this time is exceptionally licht, it tends tae precipitate vera slowly in the form o extremely licht drizzle an is aften accompaniet wi grey, owercast skies.

The wet saison lasts roughly frae Dizember tae May, an brings an abundance o bricht sunshine alang wi sporadically brief, yet aften intense, tropical thunnerstorms. Annual average precipitation amoonts tae approximately , 86% o which faws in the five-month wet saison period spannin Dizember till Mey. Precipitation faws an average o 107 days a year (precipitation ≥ 0.004" / 0.1&nbsp;mm).
