> In recent years Turkey has been presented as a "model democracy" for the
> Middle East. In recent weeks, what started out as a protest against the
> conversion of a park to a shopping centre in Istanbul, has evolved into a
> national protest movement about democracy and grievances related to
> neo-liberalism, unfettered urban development, repression of political
> dissent and free media, state intervention into personal lifestyles,
> disregard
> for constitutional rights and freedoms and police brutality. Escalating
> tensions threaten to deepen the pre-existing divides in the social fabric 
> of
> Turkey and threaten any possibility of democratization in Turkey.
