Old Turkey? New Turkey?Meet the 'Newest Turkey'
The May 31 social explosion has revealed a sparkling new combative, libertarian youth undergoing politicization based on freedoms.
“Old Turkey” is not simply a concept cited by AKP ideologues when marketing their “new Turkey” paradigms. There was truly a Turkey long in the past. “Old Turkey” was the Turkey of the Kemalist Republic. "New Turkey" is the AKP’s Turkey.
The social explosion on May 31 at Taksim, the most prominent city center of the country, gave birth to a new Turkey, or perhaps better to say, “the newest Turkey” from the AKP’s Turkey.
Therefore, we are facing a phenomenon of the “newest Turkey” that is rapidly erasing the AKP’s "new Turkey."
Before focusing on this “newest Turkey,” a comparison is in order between the “oldest Turkey” and this rapidly eroding “new Turkey.”
