Video: #OccupyGezi Brought Back Our Rusted Hope

The unity and joy of the people in Gezi Park is apparent in this video. As one said the occupation of Gezi has “brought back our rusted hope . . . and our subsided dreams.” Others described the protest as different people working together in unity, “like trees in a forest.” This video shows the people who Prime Minister Erdogan has promised to “clean the park of terrorists” These are the people Erdogan accuses of being “troublemakers” controlled by “foreign forces, international media and market speculators of stoking the conflict. What Erdogan really fears is the people in the video, a cross-section of Turkey — brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and grandparents so he tells the media that they are terrorists.
