ANKARA - May 1 Celebrations of this year have been the most massive gathering since the protests that followed the Ankara Train Station Massacre carried out by ISIS. The crowd that entered the area in corteges, gave the message of resistance with their different colours.

Thousands of people gathered in three different points early in the morning and marched to Tandoğan Square. During the march, where slogans did not stop, the crowd expressed their reactions and demands on many issues from massacres of women, to war policies, from labor exploitation to the unlawfulness in the Gezi Case.

Photos from Ankara May 1 Celebrations, which was celebrated en masse after two years:

* Tens of thousands of people stood in silence for those who lost their lives in the struggle for revolution and socialism.

* The May Day Band, formed by the women of DİSK, added rhythm to the march.

* The youngest participant of the march, 'Baby left' demanded diapers, baby food and freedom in his comfortable march.

* While the members of the Ankara Free Students Initiative joined the march with slogans against the attacks on the Federated Kurdistan Region, they also protested the war, pointing out that it is the cause of poverty.

* Students from ODTU shouted slogans in the underpass which is a classic for May 1st Celebrations in Ankara

* Groups of sports fans were at the Tandoğan Square, celebrating May 1. The prominent leftist sport fan group Kara Kızıl said: "No to industrial football."

* A woman carrying slippers and cleaning supplies drew attention to the problems of domestic workers.

* In Sincan, where poor workers, refugees, Kurds and Alevis live, citizens came to the area with banners in 3 languages.

* The HDP cortege led by HDP Co-Chair Mithat Sancar made an enthusiastic entrance to the arena.

* People expressed support for those who recieved very heavy sentences in the Gezi trial both from the stage and from the celebration area.

* Women in Tuzluçayır drew attention with the hand knitted banner

* Umut's family, who was killed while riding a bicycle in Ankara, was also in the field and repeated their demand for "Justice".

* There were reactions to the war policies of the government on the posters people were carrying.
