Who ordered the police to use excessive force against peaceful demonstrators and why? Why the US media turned up against Turkish government all of a sudden? What’s the meaning of Gezi Park protests? What’s going on?! Keep reading.

Referring to recent Gezi Park protests throughout Turkey, Pro-Kurdish BDP’s Istanbul congressman Sirri Sureyya Onder is answering a question after his meeting with the President, Abdullah Gul:



“This demonstrations has shown that, you can not rule the whole country from Ankara.”



In fact, ever since the demonstrations started, people have been talking about the importance of a more participatory democracy, and pointing out that public should be involved in the decision making process not only from ballot to ballot, but whenever their interests are directly at stake.



Now, there’s something about this protests that begs for attention: It’s well known that there’s an alliance between USA-Turkey-PKK (BDP)-KDP in the Middle East. But, right from the start of Gezi Park protests, the US and Western media have been presenting it in a very provocative manner. From day one, they labeled it as “Turkish Spring” and drew similarities between Taksim and Tahrir. And Sirri Sureyya, a member of the abovementioned alliance, was the one who transformed a puny protest for cutting off some trees into a nation wide revolt against the current government by standing up to the bulldozers.



What has changed? What distrupted the integrity of the alliance which seemed as smooth as butter just a couple of days ago? Why are they suddenly turned up against the current Turkish government and especially against the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan?



The curret power balance in the Middle East is rapidly changing and an emergance of a new era in the Middle East seems inevitable. No one can predict what it would look like after all this, but certainly there are certain forces that are making plans about it. One of those forces is the alliance i mentioned. In accordance with their plan, they started the “preace process” in Turkey, and it’s widely believed that their next step will be changing the government style and making it a presidential system (currently, parliamentary system) and also turning Turkey, which is currently a unitary state, into a federation that would ultimately give the Kurdish region some sort of autonomy.



Now, here is my conspiracy theory about all this: The Taksim Gezi Park protests are organized by powers that be to; 1-cool off people’s anger towards R.T. Erdogan NOW and prepare them for things to come that would have initiated a fiercer opposition otherwise, and 2-legitimize the planned local self govarnance project that will ultimately make Turkey a federation.



Maybe that’s why Prime Minister Erdogan ignores calls for more temperance in his speeches because he knows that whoever sparked this revolt rapidly will be able to make it cease just as fast.
