So I was reading in the NYT that Turkeys Prime Minister has been meeting with the opposition over the plans to destroy a famous square in Istanbul to build a mall and a mosque nearby. The plan will be to wait until the Courts there decide whether or not Prime Ministers Erdoğan's plan is legal and, if so, to then hold a referendum on it in the city of Istanbul.

Personally I hope that this means an end to the protests there. The Prime Minister seems a bit strange and has definitely mishandled the situation.

"close to resolution".....lolno.

These riots are rooted in much deeper problems in Turkey that have managed to stay quiet until now. Erdogan is a closet Islamist who wishes to tear away the secularism that is endemic to the Ataturkist foundations of modern Turkey. This discontent will not be going away any time soon, I can promise you that.

I hope they won't elect him again :P

Turkey is too precious to be lost in the radicals' hands.
