Press release

Across the country, particularly in Istanbul-Taksim, all the citizens are demonstrating their democratic reaction to the police violence pursued by the government as a response to the social sensitivity to the attempts to demolish Taksim Gezi Park at 22.00 on 27th May 2013. The government continues to follow policies of violence, oppression and prohibitionist rule despite the fact that the protesters are peacefully and democratically voicing their demands, which are democracy and the most basic human rights.

To communicate our demands and to take a positive step, we will have a meeting with Mr Bulent Arinc representing the government in the Prime Minister`s office on 5th June at 11.00.

To the attention of public with our sincere respect.

TAKSIM SOLIDARITY
