In front of the reason of objection in Turkey



Four or five trees, another park. The current crisis in Turkey reportedly started because of them. Actually, this is not the case - issues involved transcend the environment. It's also not just about one person or one party; it was about freedom of speech, live independently and against dictatorship and restrictions on people's lives. Let me explain.

Justice and Development Party - the Turkish AKP - was in power since 2002, and has won three around the country in general elections. In every election thereafter, the government party took first place with an increased percentage of votes.


In addition, in the last election in 2011, the AKP won half the votes, which certainly looked impressive to many.

During these years in power, there were a number of significant positive steps that have made Turkey more powerful, such as large infrastructure improvements - railways, airports, etc. - massive investment in health systems and so on.

In the first years in power, the AKP's handling of foreign affairs is also appreciated and was referred to as "zero problems foreign policy ', as the government has tried to play a greater role in promoting international security and prosperity in the region. Gross domestic product per capita has tripled in same period.

During that time, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP in Turkish), was unable to form an alternative or a visionary policy that impressed voters.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Recap Endogen made his stand stronger in the country, as well as on the wider political scene. Even within the ruling party, members rarely opposes any party politics for Rogan’s style of strong, autocratic leadership.

Endogen began to ignore his critics and the main aspects of democracy are slowly compromised and his regime is becoming increasingly authoritarian.

Under the direction of the AKP and Endogen there were other issues that rankled public. For example, several journalists have been detained and many judicial authorities were under investigation.

Moreover, the threat to freedom of expression was clear in the rules set for the television series and national Internet censorship. Furthermore, instability in foreign affairs after 2010 has led to concerns about the direction that has been adopted, which does not reflect public opinion.
