Taksim-plein: Verskil tussen weergawes

 

==2013-betogings==

Taksim Gezi-park is aan Taksim-plein geleë en is ’n klein groen eiland in die betonoerwoud. In 2013 het die Istanboelse munisipaliteit begin om die park te sloop om nog ’n winkelkompleks te bou. Duisende mense betoog sedert 28 Mei daarteen en pleks van samesprekings te voer, gebruik die regerende Regs-en-Ontwikkelingsparty geweld om die ontwikkeling van die kompleks te verseker. Die polisie gebruik fisieke geweld, waterkanonne en pepersproei om die betogers uiteen te jaag.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.todayszaman.com/news-316733-protestors-stand-guard-at-istanbuls-gezi-park-to-prevent-demolition.html |newspaper=Today's Zaman |title=Police disperse protesters with pepper spray to continue partial demolition of Gezi Park |date=2013-05-28 |accessdate=2013-06-01 }}</ref><ref name="hurriyetdailynews">{{cite news |url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/taksim-park-protests-in-4th-day-amid-police-crackdown-.aspx?pageID=238&nID=47946&NewsCatID=341 |title=Taksim park protests in 4th day amid police crackdown |work=Hurriyet Daily News |date=31 Mei 2013 |accessdate=31 Mei 2013}}</ref><ref>[[The Guardian]]: [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/31/istanbul-park-protests-turkish-spring Istanbul park protests sow the seeds of a Turkish spring]</ref><ref>New York Times: [http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/01/world/europe/police-attack-protesters-in-istanbuls-taksim-square.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Peaceful Protest Over Istanbul Park Turns Violent as Police Crack Down]</ref>
