[edit] Unfair

The article seems a little unfair. For example describing the people of Zeytinburnu as "lacking in education" it should also mention that the area has much improved over the past 5 years and is one particular area of Istanbul which has seen a high rise of house prices. New shopping centres, its closeness to Bakirkoy and as a train stop for the tramvay have contributed to this.

A second point should be something of its history. This area was traditionally the home of the far right MHP party and was the scene of sectarian fighting during the 70s though in recent years the Islamic orientated AK party have taken over.
