As a Turkish person, this is the best and most accurate analysis of the situation I've read.

Also, I would like to express my sympathy for the mentioned journalist Serdar and outrage at the media institution that fired him. It is truly frightening what the leading party can do now that it has such a strong grip on the media, police force, and legislative branches.


Excellent analysis! Penetration of Facebook and Twitter in Turkey among the highest in the world. Due to autocensoring in main Turkish media channels about the protests, these channels, as well as media sites such as eksisozluk.com has become the shaping factors for the protests.
