Reminiscent of Gezi Park protests May 28, 2013, the day when the protests began, more precisely the rebellion known as GEZI PARK. In the beginning, no one even guessed the extent of the revolt. In the end, it turned out to be one of the largest, most massive revolts in the history of the Turkish Republic. It started seemingly naively, as a protest against the partial change of use of Gezi Park in Taksim Square. But in fact it was the beginning of a great uprising against the regime, more precisely the dictatorship of the AKP party and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The pro-regime media tried to show that it was a rebellion of some groups, but it was about hundreds of thousands of people located in the main square of Istanbul, Taksim Square and around it. Only in Gezi Park 24/7, several thousand people stayed with tents. Police forces brutally entered Gezi Park on June 16, 2013 and destroyed everything in front of them, but protests continued until the end of the year with greater or lesser intensity not only in and around Taksim Square but also in other parts of the city, especially in Asia and Istanbul. many other cities in Turkey. No, this was not a riot, there were no protests over several trees in Gezi Park. This was a revolt against human rights abuses, due to attacks on secularism in Turkey, due to pressures and threats to independent and objective media and media workers. Unfortunately, the Gezi Park protests were suppressed, during which some people were killed and wounded, mostly on the side of the protesters. //HADROVICAHMED_choix.583/2206131454
