What is at Stake in Turkey Today?

In May 2013, mass protests in Turkey were sparked by the
government plans to demolish Taksim Gezi Park and replace it with developments
including a shopping mall. The protests quickly spread and gave voice to the
growing opposition against the pro-imperialist Erdogan government, a close ally
of the United States. 
 
One year on anti-government protests are continuing
throughout Turkey. Join this forum to discuss:
~ What are the demands of the protesters at Gezi Park and
throughout Turkey?
~ Why have the Gezi Park protests become an ongoing struggle
against Prime Minister Erdogan’s undemocratic policies?
~ How is the Turkish government aiding in imperialist wars
and occupation?
~ What is the role of the social justice movement in Canada
and abroad to support the protestors in Turkey?
