Ah yes, one of the biggest, if not the top, totally democratic from the start to the end gatherings of Republic history of Turkey took place today.
There has been an overwhelming pressure and reaction against Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who started his governing political career as a puppet of USA, getting out of the jail after the visit of the "skillful" Turkey ambassador of USA of the time, Eric Edelman. You heard about "moderate Islamists", didn't you? Yeah it's lovely when extremists come to mind but it was just a label how we were imposed Erdogan and his gang as a government. I remember how Washington Post and several other papers were celebrating the welcome of this "moderate Islamist" government.
With his political party's solid existence in the parliament, now this puppet is looking to take over the chair of presidency in the upcoming president elections, which will eventually mean his government will be able to pass any laws they wish to. They clearly are not moderates or something. In politics, in Turkey, you can't be moderate, you are either using such camoufalge for your radical political intentions or not. This country has never seen the else way, if there ever is.
Mainly because of that perception of threat against a secular Turkey recently, and also under anti-imperalist, Kemalist guidance as well, hundred thousands gathered in Ankara. Friends who were able to join the march said that the gathering was not a cartel of any political party or something. All such banners distracting the essence of the march were taken down.
I have never seen Turkish people so bold and determined lately, using their democratic rights in a democratic way no worse than a Western society.
14th of April has been the day again when Turkish society proved out their stand against radical Islamists and their "moderate make-up" artists.
We just don't want this guy sitting by the knees of a Ladin supporter, former-USA tool mullah used against the Soviets in Afghanistan, to reach where Ataturk had been once.

This is not a propaganda. I'm just amazed how my people learned to react with a loud voice, totally democratically, after such a long anesthesia, striving to safeguard Atatürk's heritage.
