That's why I am kinda curious if it's true the army-folks are handing out gasmasks to protesters. As I understand it Erdogan has been dismantling the power of the supposedly fiercely secular army that is like a sword of Damocles for any government. It's also interesting the protestors call themselves an occupy-movement. It sure looks different from the lol@arabspring. What failed in Iran might just work in Turkey, I bet they are kinda nervous in Teheran right now.
