"The spontaneous movement in Turkey, that started in Istanbul this week, has taken an unprecedented affect on the history of the country. Demonstrations where held througout the World on Tuesday in Support of the demonstrators. It all started when a group of citizens decided to peacefully occupy Gezi Park to express his opposition to the redevelopment of the park, Taksim Square in the middle of central Istanbul. According to the statements of Prime Minister Erdogan, Gezi Park should be the subject of a redevelopment project including the reconstruction as a luxury shopping center of an old Ottoman barracks. A project denounced by many planners, architects and environmentalists. Friday, May 31, the same day that an Istanbul Administrative Court made a decision to suspend the project of reconstruction of the barracks, the police attacked the peaceful occupants Gezi Park. The police aggression was a massive reaction from the people who have secured the occupants of the park, and after violent clashes, the police had to vacate the 1st and June 2nd Street wars continued day and night in several districts of central Istanbul. In power for a decade, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) took an authoritarian turn, sparking reactions in youth, and the rejection of neoliberal policies. The intervention of the police, who evacuated people brutally with their children and burned their tents, largely provided the spark to trigger the explosion. The AKP then undergoes a first defeat, and in the street too. It just opened negotiations with the Kurds in order to find a peaceful solution to the national question, and so far, his policy was challenged by media activists left but little influence."
