Bağcılar
Bağcılar is a district located on the European side of Istanbul. It is located near the city centre, just north of Bahçelievler, between the two major ring roads, TEM and D100 (formerly E5). The mayor is Abdullah Özdemir (AKP). The area encompassed sparsely populated countryside at the time of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. The name bağcılar means "vine growers" in Turkish. The district used to be known as Yeşilbağ, which translates to "green vineyard". Bağcılar also houses a great deal of industry, particularly light engineering, textiles, printing (Bağcılar is home to all the biggest of Turkey's newspapers and TV channels), a huge wholesale market for dry goods, a large second-hand car market, and many trucking companies, particularly along the Gunesli link road from the TEM motorway to Istanbul airport. A metro is being built which is expected to relieve the constant stream of slowly circulating traffic.
