Turkey in fire and blood Tahrir'den Taksim'e:

The day the people of Turkey rose up !!
The protest was unusual in that it brought together young and old, the rightwing and leftists, and nationalist Turks and Kurds. They complained of issues beyond the planned shopping centre from government policy on the war in neighbouring Syria to new curbs on alcohol and a recent row about kissing in public.
"We are fed up," said Cansu Kahvecioglu, a student. "They don't give us any breathing space anymore."
Taksim (Turkey) isn't Tehrir (Egypt) But it certainly isn't a Park anymore!
Ugur Tanyeli, an architecture historian, said: "The real problem is not Taksim, and not the park, but the lack of any form of democratic decision-making process and the utter lack of consensus. We now have a PM who does whatever he wants.
