Touches on the Turkish left & anarchist movement, LGBT & Kurdish struggles, the role of 
the Ultras, the army & Police ---- Turkish anarchist on Gezi Park struggle in Istanbul - 
an explanation for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN2NHa57nyM ---- Another anarchist in 
Turkey sent this comment to the WSM Facebook page ---- In Istanbul people are making 
effort for wonderful days. They are angry and frustrated at the government's decision to 
build a shopping centre at the expense of one of Istanbul's most famous parks.

But what started as a protest against the uprooting of trees is turning into a wider 
platform for expressing anger against government policies, oligarchy and fascism..

Environmentalists have been joined by gay and lesbian groups, as well as socialists, 
anarchists and union workers, members of opposition parties from across the political 
landscape. The excessive use of force by the riot police and the insistence of the 
government to pursue their plans for the park have escalated tensions. 4 people killed and 
118 injured.

Please say something to us via a social platform, we really need your help and support.

International solidarity against the system
