    What should police do if protesters attack with stones and molotov coctails? What happens in Taksim and the rest of Turkey isn't about parks or trees. These are all happening because prime minister and goverment have so much popularity among the people of Turkey, who have solved mostly Kurdish problem, which last more than 30 years and they won't go with elections.

      Erdem,
      Are you thinking that everybody in the world is an idiot, and you can manipulate? They are not talking about Kurdish problem in Turkey right now. If you do not like to live in Turkey, we Americans gave an area to you in North Iraq,you can go and ive there. The problem here is the dictator leader in Turkey. He is worse than Stalin. According to the live tv and youtube videos,The police in Turkey is attacking even the disabled people, and little kids .So, what did it happen to the attorneys in the Court Building? Did they accidently throw a rock to the police.? Why is the police dragging the attorneys there? Usually, it does not happen in the modern countries. Maybe you can be blind, and can not see what is really going on in Turkey even you are living over there right now. However, the majority of us knows your fanatic president, and the police violent. So shame on you ......

    @Erdem
    Erdogan hasn't really solved anything. He cut a deal with the PKK – whose terms are still hidden from the public. Hell, his administration committed the greatest massacre against Kurds at Uludere. Erdogan is by no means popular with Kurds, and his relationship with the Kurds has gotten even worse ever since the 2011 Referendum. Erdogan has been playing all his cards towards the right-wing nationalists. Do you think the Kurds like that?

    The only mass populations that support Erdogan are the rural Sunni Islamic fundamentalists AND the people Erdogan made rich. You have lost the support of the Kurds, the Liberals, and now everyone who was previously neutral against the AKP is hostile towards you.

    Show's over, lad.

      You need to come into terms with the fact that Erdogan got 50% support. 50% of Turkey is neither rich, nor islamic fundamentalist. As much as you wish to entertain the fantasy that every reasonable Turkish citizen thinks like you do, they really don't.

      And this is indeed the problem. As long as we fail to learn to live together accepting our differences, events such as this will enable Christiane and others to distort the international public view.

    Actually, l would like give you information about AKP s 50% percent vote.

    We have a different election system; for sending repesentative to parlament, parties has to be voted 10% in all over Turkey and in every city they also has to get 10%. If they are not able to pass these 2 barrages, all the votes they had is counted for the party who gets the biggest percentage of votes.

    So a little math; In last elections, all over Turkey 66% went for voting. AKP took 50%, so all over Turkey 33% voted for AKP. Now please reduce the small parties votes from this.(As AKP got most of the votes, they also got all small partes votes) At the end, not even 30%percent of voters supports AKP.
    Its because unjustice voting system in Turkey.

      Also AKP used some people votes which already dead long before but they still had registry at municipality..

      Also everyone knows US government supporting AKP and I can believe that due electronic election AKP can hack system to change percentage of votes..

      And now I heard that for next election , AKP is gonna use Syrian immigrants votes by making them Turkish citizen..

      DOES NOT MATTER LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY , THIS GOVERNMENT AND PM MAY DO ANYTHING TO WIN ELECTION , TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE AND FOR MONEY !! AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR PEOPLE !!!!!

      Are you sure Berrin? I think you should learn mathematics. Akp had 50% and Chp had 26 % and Mhp had 14% and the all others had totally 10%. all over Turkey 66% went for voting. AKP took 50%, so all over Turkey 33% voted for AKP and 17.1% voted for Chp and 9.2% voted for Mhp and 6.6 % voted for all others. It doesnt mean that Akp stole the other small parties votes'. And also Akp didnt say to the other 34% that dont vote.

    He is lying, the police did go into the park earlier today and left afterwards. They will pull every trick to justify their ends. PM already stated in public that he will not compromise, unfortunately this dialogue he will have with the protesters will solve nothing.
    This is not just a small part of Istanbul, the entire country is in upheaval, and it is very unsettling to watch.
    They are incapable of answering even the simplest questions without straying from the topic.

    Even though they were not clearly answered I am very grateful for your questions Christiane

    CNN, bring out the truth and let the entire world watch what happened to a peaceful and modern country when a dictator destroyed it all. These kids just wanted to protest quietly and wanted to get the message out by saying, don't tell me that I can't celebrate my National Holiday, don't change the entire school system and inform me two weeks before, clear the faults of your friends and families in an instant but keep people in prison for the reasons that you can't explain! The list will go on but they are protesting for extreme one sided policies and acts.

    Thank you Ms. Amanpour for your integrity! You wanna know the worst part ? We are not even allowed to watch the video above in Turkey for some reason.The video is not shown on my borwsers and I have tried every kinda browser known to men. This is the level of censorship that we are dealing with here. There is a dictator elected by the majority here and he believes since he has the votes of half of the citizens he can do whatever he wants. We shall remember the fact that all the dictators of 20th century were elected leaders. just because you win the elections does not gives you the ultimate power to rule people as if they are your subjects.We are people and we wanna be heard and we want the level of freedom that y`all have in the states.I was living in Louisiana til March 2013 and if y`all take me back I wish to relocate to USA.

    Now I am in Taksim and we are entrapped in an apartment block. Even our gas masks fail to protect us due to overuse of gas. Scores of people are heavily injured and we are deprived of medical supplies. We are trying to treat people in empty spaces in apartment blocks. There is obvious torture here. There are inhumane acts. There is a threat of many deaths due to heavy injuries. In our country, the media is threatened by the PM and so it does not allow any anti-government broadcast. Our government does not cooperate with us, but chooses to go side by side with the terrorist groups. Actually, life security is not guaranteed here. Protestors are scattered around just because of excessive use of tear gas. Some people need to help us; otherwise, we are bound to lose many people for the sake of freedom. Finally, it is worth noting that our PM tempts people to attack opposite groups and do not contribute to nationwide peace.

        Please read more carefully, "There is a threat of many deaths due to heavy injuries." : means deaths are likely to occur due to sustained injuries.
        On another note, deaths did occur during previous protests, but maybe not yet today.

    1. They gassed the hell out of the park even when there were scores of injured people being treated.

    2. Prior to this attack, they staged a so-called "molotov attack by protesters", where 10 or so undercover cops threw around molotovs. They were not attacked at all. They were positioned far away from the actual protesters. They were not captured. There are lots of photos showing them with arms around their waists and lighting molotovs right beside cops. Expectedly, these excellent actors vanished totally without leaving a trace behind.

    3. The government has been trying to undermine the credibility of the peaceful protesters by frequently resorting to the bogus expression "marginal groups". It is sickening to hear it over and over again.

    4. DHKP-C is not among the protesters. There is no connection whatsoever to the embassy attack. Bull... well, fill in the blanks yourself.

    5. Despite the huge objection, they passed the so-called alcohol market regulation law yesterday. Yes, right... While the unrest is still going on.

    6. The governor of İstanbul publicly promised not to attack the protesters sitting in the park but they brutally did it today in the morning.

    7. The government consistently and shamelessly lies to not only its citizens but obviously to the international media as well.

    8. I wish you had shut him up Mrs. Amanpour. His hypocrisy is disgusting.

        Classic! PKK is there huh? Supporting the protests?

        Remember, your beloved government recently sat around the table with the imprisoned leader of PKK, the baby killer. Erdogan promised to gradually abandond the eastern region of Turkey to this notorious terrorist organization despite all the objection. In return for what? In return for receiving their support on his path to Presidency. Or should I say ultimate dictatorship?

        The political party that backs up PKK, namely BDP, has withdrawn its own supporters from the protests. There is no actual reason for true PKK supporters to be there on Gezi Park. Open minded Kurds are there standing together with people from all segments of the society, standing side to side by them the way they are supposed to.

        The police and the government has done everything imaginable and unimaginable to undermine the protests: Stage molotov attacks, assemble vandalism teams to wreak havoc on the streets and blame it on the protesters, hire a thug to shank the leader of Çarşı (originally a football fan group that has invested a lot of support in the protests), unleash herds of AKP curs with nailed clubs in their hands who followed the police and attacked the people, keep blabbering on and on about 'marginal this and marginal that'...

        It is okay to be stupid and literally blind to what is happening around you but posing as if you "see through!" stuff renders you a worthless pile of flesh. What you are doing is not merely advocating the outdated and fascistic government but also making your own contribution to a humanitarian crime that has been committed and is still being committed against the peaceful citizens of Turkey who are there to defend their rights only.

    Fargun, does democracy entirely lie in the execution of an election ? If one person comes to power with the substantial majority of votes, does he not have to consider the wellbeing of all of his people ? And if the protestors have the same ideas with who attacked the U.S. Embassy why are they keep on getting severely injured themselves, and not exploding up crowded places ? Please do not reply with the actions of the provocateurs, protestors certainly do not condone them either. And I do not mean to pick a fight, I just want to know how you support and rationalize your ideas.

    All his replies are running around in circles. None of it is true! These people are not trouble makers, they are just people looking to protect the freedom and modernization that was brought upon Turkey from their Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk! Erdogan is just trying to milk the country for every dime he can and he did this throughout his dictatorship by only giving jobs to his followers and letting them build malls all over the country (what turkish people call AVM's) he didnt encourage any arts, historical highlights, instead he ruined the landscape of the country. If you look at aerial views of Turkey in the last decade you will notice a considerable amount of Trees and Forestry replaced by cement. Recently 3000 trees cut down in the "Ataturk Farm" known as Ataturk Cifligi to use lumber for construction. This is a farm that growning up all children remember visiting to eat homemade ice cream, have picnics and visit live stock. Gone. There are no trouble makers in Turkey, there are only helpless people trying to defend what Ataturk provided for them, Peace and Hope for a bright future. Thank you Amanpour for all your questions, you showed courage where many didn't by confronting them with honest points and questions. Erdogan needs to step down. Turkey needs a leader to rebuild the country not tear it down as such. How can they respect a leader as such? I doubt they will.

    Alcohol issue in Turkey is not a standard regulation. Mr Kalin and the government are encouraged by the regulation in other countries but fact is that the content of the law in Turkey is much radical and comprehensive. Imagine that the new law bans alcohol brands to sponsor musical events, meaning it is not going to be viable to promoto any rock, jazz, pop concerts, the so-called 'marginal groups' go to.

      In Turkey, alcohol sales near schools is allowed. It is also allowed to drink in public. These are banned pretty much in every state in the EU and the US. I must agree with Mr. Kalin that it is just brought up to standard. I don't see how the banning of sponsoring a concert (with a primarily teenage audience) is a major restriction.

      Minimum age with the new law is 18. It is 21in the US. It is stricter in the US!

    DHKP/C banners are every where in gezi park. DHKP/C is the terrorist organization that bombed the US embassy.

    What started as a peaceful protest turned into the playground of terrorist organizations. I am afraid they will sooner or later do something crazy, risking the lives of many innocent and great people, creating turmoil. I hope that doesn't happen.

    i do not agree with all the things Erdogan does but the fact is we do not have another choice.Else other facists will come to power and ban all our religious freedom.I do not have problem with anybodys drink or dress but they do.

    from architectual point i did not like the project.But this is gone so far away from a project protest.

    it is obvious that violent groups now captured the gezi park and the protest is not innocent rite now as it started. the real protestors should leave the park for their own safe as the governor constantly remarking. It seems this is the only way to end the chaos.

    For votting System, l do not blame Erdogan, he found it in his hands. But, if a prime minister says, l believe in democracy then first thing he should do is the change this unfair system and let every political parties have repesantatives in parlement. If something is obviously wrong, should noone change it but say "its not my mistake, let it go on"

    Talking to all public ! Do not trust this woman ! She hides and avoids the truth. Protests are causing issue at only a small area of Istanbul. There is no war in Turkey as ths liar mentioned. Ask her why didnt she answer the question that secretary of Turkish Prime Minster asked. and took him offline. Because truth hurts.
    Exactly same groups attached the American Embasy in Instanbul, and you all called them terrorists? Now same groups are attacking Turkish police and you call them Protesters ???? Do no be double faced and lose your honor? If you call yourself journalist, tell the truth and stop supporting chaos? Bu actually we know what your problem is!? Because Turkey has becoming powerful and has the best economy in Europe, a self sufficient country. No more in need of your help! You lost a big benefit, you cant suck Turkey's blood anymore. Blood sucker banks and companies cannot run their horses freely anymore..You are all servants of Emperyalist countries, but the world is not revolving around you anymore. You will not succeed breaking Turkey! Liars !!!

    Erdogan himself is religious, but his party can hardly be called islamist. For example, headscarf is still forbidden in schools in Turkey (unlike the USA). Do you think an islamist government allow that to continue for over 10 years?

    The truth is you can never trust a government, whether it is islamic, secular, socialist, capitalist, whatever. It's politics.

    Thank you for honestly reporting and asking tough questions no reporter dares to ask.

    Now protesters and those against the ruling party's Islamicization of Turkey's secular republic are being branded as members of an old marginal communist group, a la the Cold War style. Turks in the diaspora supporting the protests have even received messages that their names are being put on lists for the government by those loyal to them, including people who live in the U.S. to intimidate them. Such bullying has no place in a modern democracy.

    This party has over stepped its bounds, and Erdogan has worn out his welcome. They both need to go.

    I'm having trouble figuring out what the real agendas are in Turkey. (Note, I can't watch the videos because my PC isn't up to date.)

    Not that I expect commenters here to fill me in honestly, but every now and then a rational person does show up and can understand objectively.

    I don't need to hear the accusations. Those can be made to slice both ways. I want to know what is motivating both sides to do the inane things they're doing.

    One thing is clear: everyone involved seems to be HUGELY over-reacting to a dispute over construction of a shopping mall. What is equally clear, therefore, is that nobody, on either side, wants to state honestly what the REAL reasons are.

    WHY?

    The protesters started by objecting to a shopping mall. Nowhere else in the world would people become this emotional and wrathful over such a thing. But in Muslim states, it's the way of life.

    This looks to me very much like all the Islamic revolutions that have occurred in the last few years, but with a possible twist. Erdogan has been trying to insinuate Islam into his government for years – at least in effect, if not in official fact.

    The protesters do not – so far – appear to be Islamists. That doesn't mean they aren't, though.

    What Islamists forget is that, in a democracy, even if you're in a voting majority, the government is obligated to respect the rights and liberties of everyone, including the people you despise. But Islam is the opposite of democracy. Muslims see no reason to respect it, even if they're living in one.

    But IS Turkey a real democracy? I've doubted that for a long time. Merely holding elections (or "staging" them, as too often happens) does NOT make the country a democracy.

    I do sense that this conflict contains a huge dose of Islamism on the offensive, but I can't yet be sure which side it's on. For all I know, it could be on BOTH sides, perhaps on a sectarian basis.

    In these recent years, we've witnessed countries being turned into Islamic States, one after another. Even when the "rebels" declared how they "yearn for rights and liberties – and democracy." They lied. Once they got what they wanted (often with help from Western countries who were sucked in by believing the lies), they promptly formed Islamic States.

    How can I know this case in Turkey is any different? It has all the hallmarks of yet another Islamic takeover. But Erdogan already is pro-Islamic, but for various reasons he hasn't tried to make Turkey an official Islamic State. Turkey is, for what it's worth, still secular. But so was Libya, and Khadafy was a devout Muslim, but wanted to run a secular state. So they hunted him down, sodomized him and killed him. He wasn't "Islamic enough."

    The "Arab Spring's" whole purpose was to turn nations into Islamic States. They did it (and are still doing it) with countries whose majority populations were Muslim, AND which had secular governments. Turkey fits that bill eloquently.

    But in this case, the only Islamists I can see so far are in government.

    Hence, I am not sure at all that I am comprehending fully the nature of this whole mess. Almost nobody will tell the real truth, on either side. That usually means that both sides have something to hide.

    I'd like to find the real motivations behind the actions. I can already guess they will be rather unlovely – on both sides.

    Can anyone shed some reality on me? Without hype, emotionalism and prejudice? As in the old quote: "The facts, ma'am, just the facts."

      You ask for the facts, yet it appears that you have failed at getting the facts so far. Your post contains a fair dose of information pollution and conspiracy theories. A couple of facts:

      There's a significant difference between a muslim and an islamist. Turkey is a predominantly muslim state, but the majority is against a politicized islam. People are well aware that mixing religion and government is bad for both.

      Oh, by the way, elections are not staged in Turkey. That's why there are military coups, to topple an democratically elected government. Turkey had three so far, and multiple attempts.

      Honestly, you need to change your information sources. Read the Wikipedia or something. Turkey is drastically different than how you portray it as.

      Erdogan is the only leader who has fought against to Mafia, Terrorism.. till he became the minister, turkish lira was worthless. He is the one fighting against to blood sucking banking system and their CEOs. This is why he is not wanted by them. But what do you want?

Bomb the American embassy which gave open support to this action groups. Many of the activists in the country for many years the exploitation of children elitist.

CHP activists suspected of belonging to an extension of his political thought and in Turkey coup and an elected prime minister and the two secretaries of the four were executed.

    8 hours of uninterrupted stay in the air without CNN What about advertising? The Turkish nation will never forget those days before history and impact and accountability from those who will ask her dish in the days to come.

    Respect for justice and the choice of millions of silent waiting for their homes to friends and foes alike gave response provoked by being caught up in a democracy. Also if you have to also give the streets. The preference of the majority of the rights of the minority, yes, but also learn to respect everyone. I wonder if our friends in the Western deceived us for years? Democracy is not it? Democracy, everyone came to work as a management uses? Minority to dominate the majority? The government says it will not if the artillery barracks of the judiciary, a negative result. Is the result of the plebiscite in favor of the judgment whether the government will act in accordance with the opinion of the people, he says. How is that undemocratic? No matter where they got this dictatorship?
