now in turkey there has been resistance to prime minister everyone's government
that started as a simple protest
ideas he park about
one sometime president by mental issues load
few remaining green areas an iso more than there was going to be a mall built
on top of it
uh... and now it is fred there are now at two hundred
someone demonstrations
in sixty seven cities
and talents are out for king
and uh...
in fact it is spread to mentor from parts of the world
in support no lines with uh... occupied as the end
all the demonstrators who are across political spectrum in turkey
uh... there's been been protests
and the united states europe at all around the world
uh... prime minister ido on uh... apparently
still
not understanding the significance of the protests
and trying to diminish their important says that he blames opposition party
for inciting the crap saying hey look it's just opposition party doing this
not a big deal of lowers a political movement
and they called a crowd
quote the few looters
you've got a couple hundred thousand people out there selling any hit with
tear gas
the would appear to be more than a few people
obviously their purpose is not to loot
now the police reaction has been
uh... grossly
uh... o
overreaction as you see with some with folks from party there are some people
getting seriously hurt at a twenty year old and forcefully was killed when
ronald over by vehicle in the protest as well thanks you want to show you and
clip now
of uh... what a protest is getting hit with tear got gas
uh... a canister directly listen to it
so as you've seen the protests here
you'll see that he is in that and hit directly right there
and uh... there
koppel him seems to be rather excited
and forty
now remember again i suppose we find a cure gas at the protesters
and in fact this part of the reason why these protests have become
so jag intake
because the police overreaction
uh... it's interesting of course because this was the heart of whether aired on
has been quote-unquote before carrying out remember
this is not the harris praying in the sense that
uh... those were to overthrow dictators everyone was democratically-elected
he's been in office for ten years
and has one at times rather easily
and now he says these guys are a minority target and then the second
but you know it's on the issue of democracy
at king abdul drawer into something very interesting ones
to that landed
is a prime minister ridge of taipei a lot of turkey
is an authoritarian who views democracy as a bus ride
as in once i get to my stop
i'm getting off
now that's a very scary thing to say now
uh... antoine actually said that the king of those different question are we
just might be
campbell's interpretation of everyone
either way it's disconcerting and what of course
secular turks are really worried about now when you get to the reaction of are
going to the protesters he said
if this about holding meetings
uh... if this is a social movement
where they gather twenty i would get upping the other two hundred thousand
people
where they gather one hundred thousand
i would bring together one million from my part
now what he's trying to get out there is that my party is larger than yours
and so
i can bring these folks out
and we can
basically out on you in a democracy
now the reality is that was seen as threatening
by a lot of people say
or are you going to bring out your supporters and have a splash in the
streets that some people are
concerned about
now look
our presence here in the united states
whether they need it or not after an election
will turn around and say i'm not just for example of president one dot just
the president of the democrats are not just the president of people who voted
for me
of the president of the whole united states of america
i would hope to the prime minister chart you would feel the same way even from
the protesters by in new york prime minister i'm your representative so i
want to hear what you have to say
so as of felt that way
in these protests
and now when talking specifically about the protesters got honestly a little
uglier
anton said we should be discussing
these with them and will be following up
talking about how he has
his intelligence agencies looking into the protesters
nieces in fact
will also settle
accounts with that
now
if you think that doesn't sound scary are not paying attention
is supposed to sound skier
they don't want to prime minister in a democracy essay
i'll be looking into the protesters and celia council tha
as very disconcerting
now he goes on to say there is a protest organized by extremist elements
we will not give away anything to those who live arm-in-arm with terrorists
uh... here we go again now this is a partially
but the united states has taught
the rest of the world
which is
anyone oppose you politically just call it errors
does not or they actually did these are incredibly peaceful demonstrations
bowling time according to the report is on the scenes
that he has gotten violent islamic police cumin and start shooting those
tear gas canisters
but sometimes it directly at people as you saw sometimes from helicopters
sometimes in the crowded buildings
so
uh... way you have
this peaceful protesters were pollution at the with the government
being characterizes extremists and terrorists of looters
these are not positive words coming out of the prime minister to say the leaks
he then blames also social media
this is what
every
leader who's trying to suppress the certain brute
percentages population says
all it's not my fault
so for those social media
yet as i was social media is is simply
at collection of people
summit like disagree with
and some who have been points
that's not how i know us is that he says
there is a problem cole porter right now
and you'd find every kind of live it
all i see that's what would respect
this is for a lot
or perhaps is reporting that you didn't want out there
annan forcefully a lot of turkish television has been very intimidated by
rwanda's government
but you can intimidate the people
that's why they're on twenty one social media you can do to all of them
and that's what bothers you
and that's why you say all this is lies on twitter by the way are there some
wasn't it
it's just a little media but is it all eyes of course not
the great majority of
tweets on this issue or simply
sending pictures factual accounts sometimes videos
and that's what bothers people
who don't want a free press in their country
he uh... going broader just outside of twitter he says the thing that is
call social media is the biggest rubble
for society right now no no no
it's the biggest rubble
for the government
but is not representing its people
it is an outlet for society
that is obvious
one thing that by tree with prime minister milan in this case is
he says quote
it's entirely ideological
when referring to the portraits
well ivan is great truth in that
you see it isn't just about
whether park it's
moto over and and has a
them all built on it or moscow time and for the proposal
recreation of a old-style autumn in barracks perfect
for everyone who makes money off the
some friends of the government might make money offer them all he brings in a
mosque cassie's
moreover
fundamentalists a believer in islam
and heat
if you're still gordon protesters and they have a good point here
uh... tuesday's himself a bit of assault in
but empowered in this half of the people in power all the time
he stayed too long
and anything they can't be wrong
so prone to recreate a not a member to spur pretending he was
and as someone was saying internal donovan palace
as the troubles began
the symbolism is
is very strong
but now i think zaki write this isn't just an environmental movement has this
is an occupier movement
bizarre ideological and ideology is
that turkey is a secular country
census
browning the republic of turkey
has always been secularism in one of the most secular countries
in the world and
deeply problem
the founder of turkey at the church did not
set up a calculate
he took down a califano
snot like he was a strong it's not like he didn't know what he was doing
that was very much on purpose nip at least some current
uh... muslim publishers are not happy about that
that's worked on for years
if you want the muslim government
that is dictated by
your interpretation of the koran
as opposed to a republic
there are plenty other
such countries
saudi arabia there's a ron
but is not turkey
sola rules that everyone has proposed
is an alcohol sale band of between ten p_m_ and six am
the wonder why people are in the streets
try to get the church to start drinking
and worries about immodest behavior in public if there's kissing in public
they're saying that
they might crack down on
dr king is can be described as a
asian countries european country of middle eastern country was also a
mediterranean country
here to try to get met the mediterranean people to stop drinking in being
passionate involved
good luck to you
was going to happen instead is hundreds of thousands people in the streets
and all the rest of the able in the
buildings in israeli saba lanka although other cities
bang possum pans people honking their horns they'd rather cars
flickering lights on and off
all to say were with the protesters you still think there's a bunch of
looters
extremists
the some chance the government is not paying attention
turkey is not a wrong
we don't punish people for immodest behavior in public
ano assist
about the protesters i want them to know but i want these restrictions
for the sake of their health
weber drinks alcohol is an alcoholic
said like a true fundamentalist
that is simply not true
a lot of people drink alcohol and are not alcoholics they're human beings
their turks
intrigue rocco
sometimes they drink beer
anair perfectly fine not everybody who drinks alcohol i'll call as an alcoholic
that is a fundamentalist view of
love your six it's black and white
he will follow my dictates my interpretation
of my religion
you hit the road
well that's not how democracy spo sort of selling out our disposal work
he does have a point here
he does say quote every four years we hold elections in this nation makes his
choice
those who have a problem with government's policies can express their
opinions within the framework of law in democracy
i agree with that i really do
and i i i don't like people characterizing this is a
as an opera is the against the dictator he's not a dictator he was still the
elected
there are a lot of people in turkey who do greens
and we have to be respectful of their opinions as well
anne of express after the ballot box now there are elections coming up next year
in the year after
in turkey
if you're really angry with their own government
me well you should go and get that ballot box misused airline
uh... both the cops
now at the same time
just because
yuor democratically-elected does not mean that everything you do is right
does not mean that we think your term you should listen
pollution in the protesters
who are real concerns
as citizens of the country
you represent
pally
the president of the country now understands that president of the lagoon
said
when we speak of democracy of course
the will of the people is above all but democracy does not mean elections alone
very good point
went on to say there could be nothing more natural
for the expression of views very situation objections
through a variety of ways
besides elections
another very good point
and finally says the views that are
well-intentioned have been read
scene and noted and the messages have been received
that's good to see someone in the british government has received that
message
and it's obviously a way that his party and the president so far reaching out
saying we don't want although i certainly agree with incredibly hard
line that i don't want
has put down here
there are different thoughts here and a lot of us
understand appreciate with a professor say
now whether he means that are not it is the right thing to say
it's politically right it's right by policy and i really hope he does mean
and i really hope
that heat and wrestle party sit down with their on and say hey listen
remember you represent
alter xx
you might want also reminded
it is a secular country
and he doesn't remember that
next time around
there are elections
and elections do have consequences
them of the truth in it
