Security members patrol around the city's main Taksim Square as people remember the victims of a deadly New Year's attack a year ago on December 31, 2017. Some of the 37,000 police will be deployed in Istanbul alone on New Year's night, and aome 4,000 members of the gendarmerie and coastguard are also being put on duty, one year after a deadly attack on a nightclub that claimed 39 lives. The authorities have banned any New Year celebrations in Taksim Square in the heart of the European side of the city while a similar measure has been imposed for the lively district of Besiktas and upscale shopping district of Sisli.
