    [01] Erdogan: "We will continue listening to democratic demands"

    Ankara Anatolia news agency (11.06.13) reported that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the Taksim Gezi Park protests during a speech he gave at the Justice and Development (AK) Party meeting.

    In his speech Erdogan said: "We, as the government, have to ensure the security of lives, property, mind, generation and belief. These are our primary duties."

    Emphasizing the government's continued commitment to listening to democratic voices, he stressed: "We will not push anyone aside by ignoring their sensitivity as we have never done beforehand. We will continue empathizing with them and listening to their democratic demands, as we have done until now."

    Regarding the damage afflicted on the economy, he noted: "the Turkish economy was directly aimed at with these incidents."

    Condemning forms of coercion and provocation, he asserted that "we will continue protecting our nation as we did in the past 10 and half years against provocation and we neither impose anyone nor accept anyone's imposition".

    Referring to the hijacking of environmental concerns, the Prime Minister warned that "Environment sensitivity has turned into different protests and aims at camouflaging the illegal rebellion against a democratic regime."

    "Gezi Park, as befits the name, is a park for walking, not a field of occupation." "Gezi" in English means travel.

    Erdogan cautioned the Taksim Gezi Park protesters of the exploitation of the protests, saying: "I invite all the demonstrators to see the big picture, understand the games that are being played and I urge those who are sincere to leave the park and end protests."

    Emphasizing Turkey's commitment to rights, he noted: "You could not have seen the rights 10 years ago, which are fully enjoyed today."

    Erdogan referred to the police intervention on Tuesday morning in Gezi Park when forces entered to remove illegal banners and posters, resulting in clashes with protestors again and said: "Security forces should not have let this happen in the first place. How could you allow these people in a public office, how could you let them get to the top of the roof? How could you have them hang posters and banners featuring leaders of illegal organizations?"

    Addressing the hateful behaviors of individuals seeking to disrespect a place of worship, he said, "You went into the Bezm-i Alem Valide Sultan Mosque with shoes on, and drank there. You committed this act of disrespect against the worship places of this country?Then you threatened the mosque official to speak misleadingly, and made him say nothing of this sort happened. What are you talking about? We have the video recordings. We will submit all of them to the public on Friday."

    Erdogan stated: "During the incidents, the wife of one of my relatives with her 6 month-old child was dragged onto the ground and harassed near the Prime Ministry building. It has nothing to with the fight for freedom. Is it a freedom or environmentalism? However we always said 'patience, patience, patience'."

    While emphasizing willingness to listen to democratic demands, he stressed that illegal measures would not be tolerated. He said: "No one should feel intimated in the face of those who wreak havoc, the marginals, the extremists and those who act illegally... We will bring to account those who unjustly criticize, harm, attack or even kill our police officers."

    [02] Opposition party leaders in Turkey expressed strong criticism to Erdogan

    Turkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (11.06.13) reported that the Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal K1l1cdaroglu stated that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was the "main provocateur" of the Gezi Park protests.

    Addressing his parliamentary group meeting, Kilicdaroglu said: "What is your benefit from dividing this country. You provoke [people]. You are the number-one provocateur".

    Kilicdaroglu accused Erdogan of being a "liar," referring to the Erdogan's accusations that protestors had drunk alcohol in a mosque.

    He read out a column of Suleyman Gunduz from daily Yeni Safak, in which Gunduz said that he had witnessed the muezzin of the mosque informing EU Minister Egemen Bagis about the incident. The muezzin told Bagis that nobody was holding or drinking alcoholic beverages, K1l1cdaroglu read out.

    "Saying that alcohol was brought into a mosque is irresponsibility, more than irresponsibility, it is immorality. Why did you remain silent when they harmed the Quran at 0ncirlik Air Base? Why did you remain silent when thousands of Muslim women were raped in Iraq? What did you do? You congratulated those rapists," said K1l1cdaroglu.

    K1l1cdaroglu criticized Erdogan for delivering tough remarks and harming the Turkish financial markets. CHP leader categorized the police into two groups: the government's police and the people's police.

    Meanwhile, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli speaking in his parliamentary group meeting on Tuesday, urged Erdogan not to further polarize the society with his rhetoric and the recent rally decision the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has made.

    "Prime minister, I am warning you: You must immediately give up your rhetoric by being raised to the bait by the crowds, on spreading the seeds of hostility to motivate and consolidate your electorate," Bahceli said.

    "We wonder how much more the Prime Minister will provoke the hostilities, will deepen this polarization," Bahceli said regarding the government's planned rallies.

    Bahceli also argued that Erdogan was once again exploiting the issue of headscarves, while antagonizing the sensitivities on mosques by alleging that protesters drank alcohol in Dolmabahce Mosque in Istanbul during protests, despite rejection of this claim by the mosque's muezzin.

    "He acts as the wildest provocateur of all times. He seems ready to create discord among the people like a bomb whose pin has been pulled," Bahceli said. While urging for the infamous "interest rate lobby" to be investigated, he also said: "Those who you said you will suffocate, have they been suffocating you for 10 years?" He announced that the MHP would be submitting a proposal of a parliamentary inquiry into this "lobby."

    Alsom S1rr1 Sureyya ?nder, a critical figure in the Gezi Park protests who has been present from the beginning of the demonstrations, has slammed June 11's ferocious police assault on Taksim, notably criticizing Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu for insulting him.

    "This is not the way to end even a fight in the neighborhood. These are the mayors of wartime. No peace can come out of these," Onder, who is also a Deputy of the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), said June 11.

    Onder criticized the government's approach in handling the protests. "This is not the language of negotiation. When there is no consciousness of democracy in it, this issue cannot be settled with romantic tweets," he said, referring to Mutlu's recent tweets on the beauty of Gezi Park and how he wishes he was there, too.

    In the meantime, Selahattin Demirtas, the co-chair of the BDP, urged the government to take a more positive stance toward the protests and to try to understand the youth.

    [03] International calls to Turkey for restrain and end of violence; UN's Ban and US White House call Turkey to respect the right of protest and expression

    According to Anatolia News Agency (11.06.13) the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for calm and respect for the right of assembly in protests that have been continuing for two weeks in Turkey.

    "The Secretary-General appeals for calm and stresses the importance of addressing differences through dialogue," said U.N. Secretary-General Spokesperson Martin Nesirsky June 11.

    "Protests should be peaceful and the right to assembly and the freedom of expression should be respected, as these are fundamental principles of a democratic state," Nesirsky added.

    Ban's statement came as police intervened once again against protesters in Taksim Square in an attempt to clear the site of "banners and flags."

    "We continue to follow events in Turkey with concern, and our interest remains supporting freedom of expression and assembly, including the right to peaceful protest," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.

    Meanwhile, Turkish worldbulletin.com website (12.06.13) reports that the White House said on Tuesday that it was concerned by attempts in Turkey and called for dialogue to resolve differences between the government and protesters.

    "We continue to follow events in Turkey with concern, and our interest remains supporting freedom of expression and assembly, including the right to peaceful protest," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement.

    "We believe that Turkey's long-term stability, security, and prosperity is best guaranteed by upholding the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly, association, and a free and independent media. Turkey is a close friend and ally of the United States, and we expect the Turkish authorities to uphold these fundamental freedoms," she said.

    [04] Bagis' responded to Swoboda remarks: "Protests no reason to suspend EU negotiations"

    According to Turkish website worldbulletin.com (11.06.13) Turkey's European Union (EU) Affairs Minister and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis, commenting on the European Parliament (EP) Socialist Group Leader Hannes Swoboda's statement that "negotiations for Turkey's accession might be postponed due to the Gezi Park events," said the following: "EU member countries also witness such events during which police use excessive force, however the EU Commission has not even once criticized it."

    Speaking at the Premier's dinner at Topkapi Palace garden given for IHT Sports Business Summit convening in Istanbul on June 11 and 12, Bagis said: "If Swoboda had suspended Austria's relations with EU when police used excessive force against such protests, then we could have considered his comments."

    Bagis added that Swoboda canceled main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu's meeting recently, suggested that he had thought to make such comment in order to show his impartiality by leaving the government during a difficult time. "I was shocked by his behavior, because he is one of the politicians that I respect."

    Bagis announced that within the scope of his trip to Brussels on June 25 and 26, he requested an appointment with Swoboda on June 26 in order "to understand what he wanted to say".

    "If the EU is really sensitive on Turkey's democratization, transparency, human rights, freedom of expression and gathering, it should determine the criteria for 23rd and 24th chapters, save itself from the dominance of Greek Cypriots, and tell Turkey the lacking points that it identifies," said Bagis. He added that Turkey is ready to take necessary steps after hearing the lacking points and comparing them to the freedoms in other EU countries.

    Meanwhile, in statements at the opening of International Herald Tribune Sport Business Summit held at Istanbul's Conrad Hotel, Bagis said that Istanbul has the capacity to host the 2020 Olympics as a distinct city, confirming the trust displayed by Herald Tribune.

    "There may be different opinions among us as Turkey is a democratic country. We tell on every occasion that we respect all opinions as long as they are peaceful and non-violent," noted Bagis.

    (?)Bagis also stressed that there are similar demonstrations, protests and following incidents in major cities in today's world, saying: "There are instances of security forces excessing their authority."

    "Nobody should dare to use these protests against Turkey," said Bagis, warning protesters of provocateurs.

    Defining the youth involving in Taksim Gezi Park protests as "our youth," Bagis added: "We may have differences in our language, style, age and generation. However, we love them all and have the self-confidence to settle the issue and related problems via dialogue".
