Demonstrations in Türkiye One month after the arrest of Istanbul mayor
report Mehr News Agency Following Akram Imam Oglu on March 6th. The most ardent opposition to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but after a month of youth protests continues.
Widespread demonstrations in Istanbul ended in the first week. Tens of thousands of people came to the Istanbul municipality every night at that time.
The protests, which have been unprecedented since the protests of the Gazi Park in Istanbul’s Taksi Square in year 6, resumed in Istanbul and Ankara universities for the past 7 days.
In recent days, there have been angry protests to dozens of high schools across the country, who were angry at the government’s decision to replace some teachers and interpreted it as the government’s attempt to control these educational institutions.
Dimit Lucoloo, a professor at the University of Sociology at Istanbul University, told Francis Press that there was discontent among the hidden youth, but their opposition to the Justice and Development Party (Erdogan -affiliated Party) was crystallized since last month.
He added that some young people oppose conservatism and demand rights and freedoms.
Recall that Erdogan’s rival Imamoglu was arrested at his home on suspicion of “corruption” and “terrorism”.
In Turkey last March, a judge in Turkey ruled Akram Imamoglu on charges of corruption, followed by widespread protests in Turkey anti -arrest.
