Look
carefully at this picture. They are about recent resistance in Turkey. One is
from local television channel and the other is from foreign channel called CNN
International.
Nowadays, "Gezi
Park" in Istanbul is facing destruction by the government to build a new
shopping center. The citizens are against it and they are are rising up in
all parts of Turkey. Receiving orders from the authorities,the police in Turkey
keep on harming the activists by tear gas and water cannons. Every day a lot of people living in different regions
in Turkey are getting together and protesting the government and its
destructive method triggering violence in the country. At first sight, you may
not make a connection between democracy and this event in our country. But the
recent resistance by the citizens is because of not only a park but our rights
that are taken from us. For instance, today we can not celebrate our national
occasions,violence on women is increasing day by day and a lot of is suffering
from poverty. At this point, it is definitely fair to demand more democracy in
all areas.
Let's look at the picture again. While such violence is at
advanced stage in our country, foreign media is broadcasting more objectively
compared to local media. Our media is not reflecting the scenes as it must be
and it supports the strategies of the government. Despite a lot of injuries and
death,the government still avoid taking a step back.It persistently ignore the
citizens of Republic of Turkey. I hope this excessive violence of both the
government and the police will stop and the citizens' demands will be
satisfied.
