Image
While police detained artist Barış Atay and 7 individuals for their “connection with Redhack” in Istanbul, the toll exceeded 10 along with other detainees across Turkey. Suspects have been ordered to make a statement in Cybercrime Police Headquarters in Ankara.  “8 detainees have been transferred to Cybercrime Police Headquarters in Istanbul, advocate Efkan Bolaç told bianet.  “I was able to meet with Atay after his detention. He is doing fine. But he has no idea why he was detained. He said he had nothing to do with this,” Bolaç continued.  Advocate Sera Kedigil, on the other hand, said that Atay was charged with blocking the access of information technologies. “He objected to the detention order. The charges, however, are not related to an illegal organization,” she said.  The investigation is supervised by Mehmet Ali Ethemoğlu, chief prosecutor at Ankara Bureau of Cybercrime Investigation.

November 10 – Atatürk Memorial Day

Image
“ I obtained information concerning Mustafa Kemal from someone who knows him very well. When talking with Foreign Minister Litvinov of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, he said that in his opinion, the most valuable and interesting statesman in all of Europe does not live in Europe today, but beyond the Bosphorus, he lives in Ankara, and that this was the President of the Turkish Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk .” Franklin D. Roosevelt,  President of the United States of America “ The name of Ataturk reminds people of the historical successes of one of the great individuals of this century, the leadership that gave inspiration to the Turkish nation, farsightedness in the understanding of the modern world and courage and power as a military leader. It is without a doubt that another example can’t be shown indicating greater successes than the birth of the Turkish Republic and ever since then Ataturk’s and Turkey’s broad and deep reforms undertaken as well as t...

#Turkey "A criminal court in western province of Manisa's Turgutlu district has sentenced five people to a  total of 11  years and 20 days in prison for allegedly insulting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip #Erdoğan  during a protest demo  condemning the #Roboski massacre in which Turkish warplanes killed 34 civilians  mostly children, in the village of  Roboski, in Şırnak's Uludere district on 28 December 2011.  The court  ruled  the sentence following a hearing, rejecting the  lawyers' demand in the scope of freedom of expression  according to a report by DIHA (Dicle News Agency).The five  citizens are accused of chanting the slogan  “factious Erdoğan”."

' Female-male students shouldn't stay together in the same flat.'

Image
Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan used this sentence when he talked about 'education problem'. He told; '' This problem (situation) conflicts with Conservative Democrat's mantality. Female and male students must not live/stay together in the same student hostels or flats. Some of student flats' neighbours denounced their trouble about this situation to the security forces and governor. So, we have to control the flats as a gouvernment. Some newspapers, journalist or people wrote something about this, whatever they want to write.. In the world, nothing to explain this educational problem. Nobody says it helped to educational prolificacy. And we took absolutely part in this situation. In some city, male and female students live together because of student flats's deficiency. It is not interfere in life styles, noone cant comment like that. If they want to comment that its interfere to lifestyles, that would be their opinion. But its not.'' People ta...

29 October Republic Day of Turkey

Today is 90th anniversary of Republic Day for Turkey.  As you know, AKP government forbitted celebrations for national holidays in stadiums. So, people celebrated in streets and squares. And today government try to restrain organizations and use tear gas in Taksim. This situation should be really silly for 'normal people' who live in Turkey.  How could it be possible to forbit something about your national value?

Support from Bosphorus University

About 250 acedemician from Bosphorus University made statement for METU. ' At 18th of October, friday night; Ankara Metropolitan Municipality's crew entered METU forest for raping trees. We think, its unacceptable and we condemn certainly. If you intruded university campus at midnight for cutting more than 3000 trees, also without notice  that would be extrajudicial and nonethical act. And also while this prject hasn't accepted yet.'

Erdogan : 'If necessary,i will demolish mosque.'

Prime minister Erdogan made a statement about the main reason of pretests(METU, Gezi Park and 3rd Bridge). About tree massacre. ' Road is the civilization. But noncivilized people dont understand that value of the civilization. If we know; this road will sweep the mosque, we will demolish the mosque to built a road.'

If you pull a rabbit out of a hat, maybe more people believe you.

Today Mr.Erdoğan explained their own democracy project. It including almost about every topic in Turkey. Let me try to translate some topics from this 'democracy box' speech. Electoral system   could be 3 ways. %10 election treshold - same electoral system as before. %5 electoral treshold  with narrowed region electoral system and quintette group. With no electoral treshold , narrow region electoral system. - Government assistance will be active for the %3 rated political parties.(before %7) - Political organization would be active in districts. (dont have to be organized in city first.) - Political parties will have two leaders. - Remove the obstacles to be member of partical party.(: - It would be possible to make propaganda with other languages.(: - Freedom for keyboard.

What happened yesterday night in Kadikoy?

Image
Hello friends! Yesterday, people met in Kadikoy for 'Come in September' Festival. Many singers and music groups sang for martyr of Gezi. It was really so crowded.  Fest started at 15:00 and finished 21:00. About 15-30 min. later police attacked with tear gas to people for no reason.  People just cleaned festival area.  After this attack people run to kadikoy streets . Police attacked getting harder si they shooting plastic bullet from very close distance.  The high-velocity bullets release an irritant powder on impact.

who doesnt love you when you were child Mr. president?

Today from Kadıköy!

Image
Today 4 or 5 buses which are full of police passed to asian side from european side. But we made joke to them and we didnt meet for protest. And they spend petrol recklessly (:.so they caught people to arrested whose apperance werent  like by them. This is really stupidly and arbitrary. Now at 23:30 all people in Istanbul who support this resistance we are going to react with pots and pans from windows for protest.

Police vs. Kadikoy

Image
Still fighting with police right now. Today they prefer rubber bullet more than tear gas. I think their gas stock is getting less. Many people arrested while they were beating by police like a devil. Every street in kadikoy, every old aunt and uncle are helping us to hide in their flat. Every apartment's door is open for chapulers. Now many chapulers are hiding and relaxing at flat but police continue attack to empty streets. And many streets are full of gas. But we know its their strategy to make belive that police is right. But they forget that here is Kadikoy. %80 full of chapulers -young, old, and child- Anyway im really tired now and i need sleep. See you tomorrow xx

5.08 - Ergenekon Case

'' Dear Friends, At 5th of August, the famous "Ergenekon" case was closed. Judges penalized many people including academicians, intellectuals, journalists, politicians, university rectors and soldiers with long years of imprisonments. Some defendants were penalized for life or more than 100 years.  Ergenekon case is one of the most controversial cases of Turkish history. All the case was based on illogical  accusations and letters coming from unknown informants. It was carried on according to the political ambitions of AKP government. This is a long issue and it is not possible to give enough information about it on facebook. Bu we can remember what Gareth Jenkins (an expert on Turkey) said to BBC two days ago. Mr. Jenkins asserted that “There is no terrorist organization named Ergenekon…Ergenekon trials laid the fundamentals of Prime Minister Erdoğan’s oppressive regime… This case was prepared by political motivations… If people examined the case carefully at the b...

To all my non Egyptian friends that are getting their news from the Western media.  What is happening now in Egypt is NOT a military coup .  It's the People's Revolution against a fascist, fanatic regime.   33 million Egyptians are out in the streets to kick Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood OUT once and for all. The media, especially CNN is depicting the picture that they want you to believe since the American administration supports this fanatic, terrorist government.  The Egyptians have spoken with a completely free will power to change this country around.  The army is by our side to protect us and protect our beloved Egypt.

Dear Mr. Obama..

From  ‎# Egypt For the past 15 years your CIA brains have been planning to change Egypt into another Iraq.  Well, NICE TRY.  You have FAILED.  You don't understand a lot about Egypt, sir.  Maybe you should ask your Kenyan Musli m relatives about the status of our country in the Holy Qur'an, or how Prophet Mohamed ,peace be upon him, described our army.  Egypt has been mentioned in our Holy Book five times, and is described as a secure country where people live in peace and harmony.  Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) has described our soldiers as the best on the planet, stating clearly that our army and the Egyptian people remain united till the end of time.  In the Bible, the Egyptian people are described as the blessed nation of Jesus Christ.  So Mr. Obama, you can kindly oblige us by calling in your lady of doom Mrs. Anne Patterson back home to the USA, as she is no longer welcomed in Egypt.  We hope you have learnt that not all coun...

'HER YER SİVAS, HER YER DİRENİŞ!'

Today was 2nd of July.  20 years ago, artists and intellectual people invited to Madımak Otel from Sivas's governer.A group of hardcore fasists killed to that people with setting on fire. AKP government gave important positions to killers' lawyers (about 24 lawyers). Today 02.07 at Kadıköy  10thousand people met for Sivas Massacre's aniversary.  Many poeple screamed like one heart  'These people who built AKP,before they burned our intellectual people in Madımak Otel at Sivas.'  I was there and there was fucking crowded. It had amazing atmosphere. Our friends came for Sivas from every parks around Istanbul.   Many kind of groups and politicain adult party's members were there. Even i already have sweet friends from Denmark. (:

Şafak Pavey -- 25.06 Genel Kurul konuşması

       Dünyanın her yanında, nifak tohumları ekmeğe çalışan ve ya da kendi toplumlarındaki sorunlar için batıyı suçlayan liderlere sesleniyorum! Bilin ki; kendi halkınız neleri yok ettiğinize göre değil, neleri inşa edeceğinize göre sizi yargılayacaktır.   Yolsuzluk, aldatma ve muhalifleri susturma yoluyla, iktidara yapışıp kalanlara sesleniyorum! Bilin ki; tarihin yanlış yerinde duruyorsunuzdur. Bu sözler benim değil; hükümetin önünde kurşun geçirmez olan, ABD başkanı Obama'ya ait. 2009'da kendisi komplo geleneğine karşı böyle bir cevap vermişti.  Dünyanın bütün beceriksiz hükümetleri, halkın canına okuduktan sonra, kendi günahlarını komployla kapatmaya çalışırlar. Ortadoğu'da da bu çok işe yarar.Vinçlerle kapanmış İstanbul silueti içinde, betona boğulmuş gençler; küçücük bir parkı korumak istediler. Sesleri bastırılan ve sürekli hakarete uğruyanların sesi oldu Gezi. Can verme, göz kaybetme, zehirlenme ve geleceklerinin fişlenmesine karşın yaptılar bunu...

MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK'S ADDRESS TO TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!  Your first duty is to preserve and to defend Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic forever. This is the very foundation of your existence and your future.  This foundation is your most precious treasure.  In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and abroad, who will wish to deprive you of this treasure.  If some day you are compelled to defend your independence and your Republic,  you must not hesitate to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the situation before doing your duty.  These possibilities and circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable.  The enemies conspiring against your independence and your Republic may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world.  It may be that, by violence and trickery, all the fortresses of your beloved fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every corner of th...

Impressions of my journey and my trying to understand the culture and the system a little bit better:

Actually I visited Istanbul, but the really first overwhelming moment concerning the system for me was in Ankara, where it opened my eyes and I could see turkish people and structures differently. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the father of the turks after the ottoman empire. He founded the turkish republic and made amazing reforms in almost every kind we can imagine. Women rights, religion (secularism), education, language, alphabet,... Under the influence of European humanism, and "Aufklärung" - which had never been possible in certain islamic countries, he built up a proud, new and advanced country. An openminded democracy instead of violent Sultanism in between of countries which still lived in this kind of system.  After 1. world war lots of things changed and so a lot of politicians felt betrayed and didn´t want to continue the development, introduced by him.  Now, prime minister Erdogan seems to have the wish to be a new Sultan and with the usual nepotism he obviou...
