Led protests against Turkey

Four or five trees in a park. Turkey, supposedly because of their current crisis began. In fact, it is not so - we can get involved in environmental issues. He also was not about a person or a party; independent living and against the dictatorship, and the limitations of people's lives, was not about freedom of speech. Let me explain.

Turkish AKP - - Justice and Development Party, in power since 2002 and won three national general elections. With a growing percentage of the party vote in every election after that in the first place.

In addition, the AK Party in the last election in 2011 certainly looked very impressive sound, half won.

Such massive investments in the health system - rail, air and so on - the power over the years, have made such a huge infrastructure improvements in several important positive steps, Turkey is more powerful.

Power in the early years of the AKP's handling of foreign affairs and international security and prosperity in the region were appreciated and encouraged the government to play a growing role as a foreign policy of zero problems "was referred to as. The per capita gross domestic product has tripled in the same period.

During this time, the main opposition party (the Turkish CHP), the Republican People's Party, or visionary create a set of alternative policies could not impressed voters.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Recaps Tanya Endogen, as well as the broader political scene in the country was more powerful than his stand. Even within the party in power, members of the powerful seldom, Rogan’s autocratic style of leadership was against the policy of any party.

Endogen began to ignore the critics and his authoritarian regime became more pro-democracy slowly been eroded.

Under the leadership of the AKP, Endogen and other issues the public had rankled. For example, several journalists have been arrested and placed under investigation by judicial authorities.

In addition, the threat to freedom of expression of certain rules for television series and national internet censorship was clearly visible. In addition, the instability of foreign affairs after 2010 do not reflect public opinion has led to concern over the direction has been taken.

Environment

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, a shopping mall, a project to build the Ottoman barracks and residential complex there. However, some concerns among environmentalists space, a shopping mall in the main square of the city and many people are opposed to the project was close to Tarsi Square Park.

On May 27, some of the residents and environmentalists began to protest the project. Later on, the police response to demonstrations and violent actions of uncontrolled mass movement of people has caused.

In other words, a series of public demonstrations protesting about the park was small.

Police violence and the use of teargas and water cannons against such actions fueled the desire of the people, and in turn the attention of several international organizations such as the European Union is engaged students.

However, what is unique is the people involved in the protest, and protest is the style backgrounds. Usually, economic and social backgrounds and political views similar protests carried out by people. However, what has been happening in Tarsi Square formula dollars.

The diversity of the people in rich and low-income people, including students, professors and actors. Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besets - - strong rival football fans and even took part in the protests.

Endogen and the AKP, in direct opposition to several publications, and has described the action much resistance.

The main source of Protest we analyze more deeply, however, the main source of opposition to challenge the limits of authoritarianism and freedom. The Prime Minister is as a source of these restrictions.

It is interesting, but it's one of the reasons for the objections of the opposition parties over the past decade of frustration with the lack of success of any opposition party, it was clear that those comments could be seen in a variety of social media around Tarsi Square to protest.

Unfortunately, in the second week of protests, some political factions were involved in the violence due.

Result generally, protests all politicians, with the old ideology, especially if you learn the lesson of Turkey's democracy has a chance to leap forward.

As a young citizen of Turkey in the future, I am more open-minded parliament, far-sighted politicians would like to see, and the young - the average age of members of parliament in Turkey, I can help turn the generation of a developed nation to believe that the 50th over.

First of all, a young protester's message was: "We are apolitical; we are not in a hurry generation do not want to be limited by ideological rigidity."
