Presumably you’re referring
Presumably you're referring to the Gezi Park protests? I would say they have morphed somewhat. There are spasmodic demos going on in a number od cities, sparked by different stimuli. I would say the overall sentiment is huge dissatisfaction with the government, especially the PM, for his heavy handed authoritarian way of dealing with any and every situation.There was another death last week in Antakya province where students were demonstrating in support of students of the Middle eastern technical Uni, where thousands of trees were cut on campus to drive a huge road through. There was denial on the part of the police as to how the youth died, even though it was caught on film. There have been a week of nightly protests there. There are demos against involvement in Syria. Public opinion is largely against that. There is much general dissatisfaction. Local elections are next spring, maybe then we'll get a clearer idea of how much it's directed against the AK party.This site http://www.jadaliyya.com/ has some excellent coverage on a rolling basis if you want more in depth stuff. There is a 'Turkey' section and also a weekly round-up for Turkey.We'll be in Istanbul at the end of the month for a few days. Hope to get some time in with friends for more in depth discussion. Will report back.As for 'success' – you could say the biggest success is so many people prepared to get out there to stand up for whatever it is they believe in or are in disagreement about – demanding some kind of democracy and they don't seem to be going away.
