The incident, I believe is not just about
an ordinary urban development incident, which all of us have known more or less
by now; it was not just about that Istanbul municipal attempt to make that
shopping mall or museum or whatever that was; I believe it is the result of the
frustrations of many people, especially the youth, here in Turkey. I believe
that the current government can get this under control; however, they must
learn to be me more responsive to people’s wants and desires; after all, a
large part of the population supported them because they believed that they can
bring change to this country. It would be a shame for the Prime Minister to be
toppled out of power just due to some things which he has done wrong. For the
record, this has been the largest public disturbance that Turkey has experience
since a very, very long time, if we don’t count all those bombings and
terrorist attacks in the East.
On the other hand, I feel very angry at the
police for using such excessive force when it is not exactly needed. Believe
me, this is when everything just ran out of control, and I guess the solution
for this event is that the security officers, as well as their superiors and
their administrative counterparts, which includes the police chief of Istanbul
and the city governor, should resign and then impeached for their actions.
Administrative cases must be also done for the officers on the ground who
abused their power.
I guess that’s all I could say.
