I´ve heard Turks complaining about Erdoğan for years and I´m surprised that they didn´t go crazy before this!

Last night I watched a video of police actions in Izmir which included a large amont of men in civilian clothes holding batons and taking the law into their own hands alongside the police. I can only guess that they are AKP members. Well, I´ve seen many pictures/videos of gas being thrown and water cannons being used but those images of the guys doing as they pleased with the consent of the police really, really disgusted and upset me. 

It´s not a surprise that the only thing that people have left is to protest. The police alongside the justice system has been shaped into what Erdoğan wants, the media is being punished for reporting anything unfavourable, people are locked up for using Twitter, laws are made to suit Erdoğan´s and the AKP´s agenda and so on.

At least the world can see Erdoğan´s real and true face now. He is a paranoid and arrogant bully. Of course he thinks these events are everybody else´s fault and he is greatly insulted by the reaction of the protesters and world media.

Keeping him in power is doing a lot to damage the international reputation of Turkey. I think his followers need to understand this, but right now they are acting like victims and think that the protesters and outside world are the ones who don´t understand and are wrong.

Turkish protesters have vowed to continue occupying Istanbul´s Gezi Park.

Their defiant statement came despite the prime minister´s promise to halt a redevelopment plan which sparked two weeks of anti-government unrest.

"We will continue our resistance in the face of any injustice and unfairness taking place in our country," the Taksim Solidarity group, seen as most representative of the protesters, said.

The statement came after all-night discussions in Gezi Park.

Police clear Istanbul´s Gezi Park after Erdogan warning

..

Earlier, in a speech in the capital Ankara, Mr Erdogan told thousands of AK party supporters: "If Taksim Square is not evacuated, this country´s security forces will know how to evacuate it."

"Nobody can intimidate us. We take no orders or instruction from anyone but God," he added.

He also dismissed the wave of demonstrations as part of an organised plot against him.

The news is horrible.

Police is attacking everybody including childeren and women. Many people injured..

https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23DirenGeziPark%C4%B1&src=hash is not stropping. There are news that crowds started to walk to Taksim because they stopped the ferries and closed the bridges..

I just saw this and I´m horrified! So evil...I don´t have the words...

It´s a terrible situation for many of the protestors. I´ve been following it from day 1 and couldn´t believe the amount of force that was used on what started as a peaceful protest. Then as things got worse and 5 deaths the PM still defied any sort of democratic dialogue. I was relieved to see he started dialogue and the park will now be put to a vote.

Well we all hoped and relieved too.. But look at what is happenning now. Unbelievable!!

Youngsters already had a decision to remove all the tents but leave only one as ´watching tent´. They would have left in a few days..

Thanks to social media we can see and learn what is hapenning minute by minute https://www.facebook.com/geziparkidirenisi?hc_location=stream

Thanks very much for the link. It´s a game of politics now too I guess and it´s not something I´d debate about. As I don´t know enough Turkish to actually read enough to form an opinion. But I will say if he keeps ordering that sort of brute force on protestors, he´s not a very smart man and doesn´t deserve his title. Especially since young children and even toddlers are in that park.

Lmao !!! On twitter they started to send messages in english because nobody in Turkey taking serious these provokers. What a pity! They are setting their hopes on other countries help. Just want to ask that provokers who arent useful other than deteriorating Turkey´s name on global platform:How many times you received unrequited favor from other countries so far?

Ignore this troll. Don´t bother with him/her.
