There is a veritable communication errors between the Turkish government and the protesting masses of Gezi - Taksim, which is not that new, thus won't be ended soon. Turkish government tries to produce a new set of 'politics' from this source of discommunication, and to enforce their damaged reign, ofcourse.
'90s-born generation -made famous by media for Gezi events- has been determined to perform a non-violent activism. With the speeches of Erdogan, activist masses are formulated as 'ecologists' and 'marginals'(those who employs violence in activism) Yet the most clear and remarked violence was the actions of police itself, throughout the Gezi events, and even from 3 weeks before.
People in the streets of Istanbul are still sensitive and shows care to stand against and say stop to the police violence and so-told 'marginal' acts. From the time that AKP hold the government without coalition, this was a dispositive of stability for Europe, the States and Turkish liberals. But the situation now is nothing different from a junta-dictatoriat regime, as prooved by Erdogan's. 'refuse of recognition' of the European Assembly decisions.
The reason for this unheimlich (uncanny) structure of Turkish politics is blamed on the '80s made constitution, to which AKP era owes their power. Elder people who have seen violent 'left-right' clashes in the late '70s are seriously disturbed - terrified by the irresponsible acts of Turkish government.
Gezi movement has started with fewer than 200 "ecologist / urbanists", violence acts added a segment of protest for individualist rights bywhich AKP holds many issues of intervention to individual rights in terms of laicism, feminism, racism. At that point the events and manifestations transformed into a mass-power clash in the presence of Erdogan, Turkish prime minister.
