I have come to the conclusion that AKP (the ruling party led by Mr Erdogan) will not be able to govern Turkey even if they manage to seize a majority in the parliament after 2014 elections. They simply derailed; there is no other word to describe it.
After Beyoglu governor claimed
colorful stairs would not make anyone happy and painted the Findikli
stairs back to grey, everyone grabbed a can of paint and a brush and colorful stairs, sidewalks and what not (use your imagination) have begun to pop up all around Turkey. Here are a few pictures from rainbow stairs frenzy:
 |
| Diyarbakir - Sanat St. |
 |
| Cihangir-Ist. |
 |
| Kuzguncuk-Ist. |
 |
| Urfa |
LGBT has just declared "Pride Week" and we are waiting the expected
reaction of Turkish government: unleashing the police, any minute from
now.
