(Let us go, let’s crush Taksim) Erdogan’s supporters said

When Turkish PM Erdogan came back to Turkey, he was supposed to land at 9 pm but to gather more people to support him, his flight was delayed for 3 hours. Meanwhile, Ak Parti supporters, who were informed and invited to the greeting via SMS, were transported to the Atatürk Airport by government services. The PM of Turkey returned home after a five-day trip. His cabinet worked hard to gather a crowd of 20,000 at the airport. (Currently, there are 3.5 million protesting on the streets).

What I would like to draw attention to is the slogan that was chanted by the crowd during the speech:

“Let us go, let’s crush Taksim”. What is mainly annoying here is the attitude of the PM. He just stopped and let them repeat this for many times. Tayyip Erdoğan, who is obligated to ensure the unity of 76 million people, divides the country into two groups: ‘us’ and ‘them’. He ended his speech with the following words “We’re all going to go home from here, peacefully” is actually an allusion to his supporter’s position. Thus he refers to his power on those people’s opinions and actions, which is horrifying for the future of Turkey. He threatened his opposition before, and he still keeps on, he is calling for a civil war. 

Turkey is not a democratic country anymore, Turkey is a fascist dictatorship where media shows documentaries about animals while all the Gezi Park protests are going on just because these are protests against government. Turkey is a country where people are getting arrested just because they send tweets like “Police is using tear gas in here.” Turkey is a country where police run over and kill protesters with armored police vehicle and poke protester’s eyes with intentionally-aimed tear gas capsules.  Turkey is a country where PM says that “We can barely hold 50% of our population to stay in their homes.”  Turkey is a country where PM says that we might destroy this university because the rector of that university said that “They can take make up exams without any excuse reports for this semester.” all these info that I provided is true. Just check the appropriate twitter accounts and see the international news. I can give millions more examples. So nobody shouls say that “Turkey is a democratic country.” or “Media is trying to provoke people and disturb the peace in Turkey.” or else.

Erdogan gave a speech full of blatant lies that served no other purpose than provoking his supporters against the protesters. He has no concern for more than half of the country who did not vote for him. Turkish PM said the protesters killed a cop. Truth is, the cop fell off a bridge while chasing unarmed protesters. He said protesters burned a flag. Truth is, the flag burning video was from a kurdish protest back in 2010. He said that this was all to stop cutting less than 15 trees. This was the biggest lie. This is about freedom, democracy, and people who had enough of lies, when government (PM) calls his voter’s for crime,  People call him as a crime  minister after that….

One of the young ladies wrote on twitter:

Important warning: a lawyer friend of mine working on the cases of the detained protesters just told me that even if you are a foreigner, and even if you are female, you will be beaten severely and then detained for at least 3 days, if you are lucky, then deported for sure if your embassy intervenes. 

The lawyer is Turkish, the one being deported is French journalism student at Galatasaray University. She was arrested taking photos near gumussuyu, beaten severely on the way to kumkapi detention center, that she now has no control over her bladder. Denied medical attention and beaten over and over again in detention for 3 days and wetting herself. Now being deported in the same clothes, she was arrested wearing, and stinking with her………

She is the only one being deported after 3 days in detention, because she’s a girl. The other foreigners are still in detention waiting and according to the lawyer they all were beaten and facing charges of threatening national security.

A young man wrote:

Gumussuyu is a dangerous road. Too many barricades for people to prevent them from escaping tear gas quickly and people are in panick. There are also provocateurs throwing Molotov cocktails. Stay away unless you love tear gas or have a mask and goggles. Stay Safe Istanbul.

At last I say: The Syrian people are watching your democracy Erdogan.they will never  ever forgive you for what you did to our beloved country Syria. you are paying, and all who conspired against on our country will pay, sooner or later.
