Turkish Spring
The Tale of a Turkish Summer: Is there a link between Occupy Gezi and the IMF?
“The Turkish leader now faces an Arab Spring of his own—actually a “Turkish Summer.”
Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s fall from grace has manifested itself in Istanbul’s Taksim Square. Taksim Square now resembles Egypt’s Tahrir Square. What is interesting to note is that the timing of the massive protests comes a month after Turkey paid its debts off to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
