Yaþadýðý þehre ve çevresine duyarlý insanlarýn hassasiyetleriyle baþlayan gösteriler, ilerleyen günlerde farklý bir düzleme oturmuþ ve ülke çapýnda hükümete karþý giriþilen bir harekete dönüþmüþtür. Bu noktada özellikle Batýlý devletlerin sürece dair yoðun ve peþpeþe gelen açýklamalarý, ulusal ve uluslararasý medyanýn konuya büyük ilgi duymasý, sosyal medyanýn aktif bir þekilde kullanýlmasý gibi hususlar etkili olmuþtur. Üç hafta devam eden gösterilerin merkezinde ülkeyi yönetenlerin totaliter bir anlayýþla hareket ettiði, ülkenin bir diktatörlüðe doðru gittiði, insanlarýn yaþam alanlarýna müdahale The events that were launched as a protest against the project which is planned to be started in Gezi Park and that prevailed over Turkey in following days harbor different dynamics in terms of its internal and external incentives. Demonstrations started upon sensitive attitudes of people to the city and environment in which they live acquired a different ground in following days and transformed into a national movement against the government. At that step, some points such as continuous and frequent explanations done by Western states regarding the process, interest of national and international media to the events and active use of social media became influential. In the focus of demonstrations lasting for three full WHO WATERS TREES OF GEZI PARK? 5 edildiði, toplumun taleplerinin dikkate alýnmadýðý gibi itirazlar yer almýþtýr. Öte yandan protestolarýn özellikle ilk günlerinde güvenlik güçlerinin göstericilere karþý sert müdehalesi, bu iddialarý paylaþmayan farklý kesimlerin de tepkisine yol açmýþ ve bu husus gösterilerin yaygýnlaþmasýnda etkili olmuþtur. Diðer taraftan, gösterilerin, Türkiye’nin son yýllarda farklý alanlarda yakaladýðý olumlu ivmeden rahatsýz olan küresel sistemin bir operasyonu olduðu iddiasý da hakim görüþ olarak dillendirilmiþtir. Konu ile ilgili olarak heyetimizin gözlem ve araþtýrmalarýndan hareketle hazýrlanan ve süreci farklý yönleriyle ele almaya çalýþan bu raporun, Gezi Parký sürecinin daha iyi anlaþýlmasýna katký saðlamasýný umuyoruz. Gezi Parký olaylarý esnasýnda hayatýný kaybedenlerin ailelerine baþsaðlýðý diliyor, yaralanan tüm güvenlik görevlisi ve göstericilere acil þifalar diliyoruz. weeks there appeared some objections like that governors hold a totalitarian understanding, lifestyles of people have been intervened and that social demands have not been taken into consideration. On the other hand, harsh intervention of security forces to demonstrators in especially first days of the protests caused a reaction among those segments of society who did not share the same views and thereby became influential in prevailing of the demonstrations. On the other hand, the claim that the protests are an operation of the global system that gets annoyed of that Turkey has been on increase recently in various fields was also voiced as a dominant view. We hope that this report that was prepared regarding the events by our committee’s observations and tried to deal with the process in different aspects makes a contribution in understanding of the process of Gezi Park. We give our condolences to families of those who lost their lives during the happenings in Gezi Park and wish speedy recoveries to all the injured security officers and demonstrators. 6 GEZÝ PARKI’NIN AÐAÇLARINI KÝM SULUYOR? olaylarýn seyri the development of the events 27 Mayýs akþamý Taksim Gezi Parký’na iþ makinalarýnýn girmesinin ardýndan, özellikle sosyal medyada hýzla yayýlan haberlerin etkisiyle bölgeye giden protestocular oturma eylemi baþlatmýþ, polisin müdahalesi ile birlikte olaylar týrmanýþa geçmiþtir. 28 Mayýs itibariyle protestolar hýz kazanmýþ ve polis müdahalesi baþlamýþtýr. 29 Mayýs günü Yavuz Sultan Selim Köprüsü’nün inþaatýnýn açýlýþ programýnda yaptýðý konuþmada Baþbakan Recep Tayyip Erdoðan’ýn Gezi Parký eylemcilerine atfen “Ne yaparsanýz yapýn, biz kararýmýzý verdik!” þeklindeki açýklamasý 1 ve polisin Gezi Parký’nda protestocularýn kurduðu çadýrlara müdahalesi gerilimi týrmandýrmýþtýr.

The government stipulated to abide by the judicial decisions; it was said that a plebiscite will be carried out even in the case that the judiciary give permission to Topçu Kýþlasý, and it was demanded that Gezi Park be evacuated immediately and thereby the tension in the country be ended. An explicit intention of the evacuation of Gezi Park occurred, after the constructive talks took place between the representatives of Taksim Platform and the Prime Minister.

Türk ekonomisinin baþarýsý olaðanüstü ama ayný zamanda þu görüþü de savunuyorum: Bence Sayýn Erdoðan, Türk halkýnýn birçoðunun gözünde, bir baþbakan ya da devlet baþkaný olmaktan ziyade bir diktatör gibi görülüyor" ifadelerini kullandý.15 Avrupa Komisyonu'nun Geniþlemeden Sorumlu Üyesi Stefan Füle "Küresel Sorunlar Karþýsýnda Türkiye ve AB Ýçin Ortak Gelecek" konferansý kapsamýnda yaptýðý konuþmada Gezi Parký'ndaki gösterilere polisin aþýrý güçle müdahalesini eleþtirdi ve böyle durumlarýn "demokraside yeri olmadýðýný" söyledi. Füle, "Bu konferansýn konusu olan ortak geleceðimizden bahsetmeden önce þu aný gözardý edemeyiz.

He indicated as such: “It is very clear to say that these events were an of the Turkish people against the dictates of Erdogan’s Islamic direction. Many of us here had been in Istanbul, Ankara and other big cities. These places are cosmopolitan just like Washington, they are not sectarian. For this reason, these events are a revolt of modern and democratic nation against the steps taken by Erdogan to push them into a direction, which they do not desire such as alcohol restrictions, opening Islamic-oriented schools.” “I think these events are not ordinary reactions of people that we have seen in other places, rather they are a response to a person to whom, they think, oppresses them. I hope that Erdogan gets lessons from the events and understands that some of the tactics used by the police rushed into extremes”, specified McCain. "I love Turkey. The success of the Turkish economy is extraordinary. But at the same time I support this view as well: I think Mr. Erdogan is seen as a dictator in the eyes of many Turkish people; rather than a prime minister or head of state.” expressed McCain. 15 European Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Füle made a speech within the context of a conference, named as “Common Future for Turkey and the EU across the Global Challenges”. He criticized the intervention of the police to Gezi Park demonstrations with excessive force, and he said such conditions "have no place in a democracy".

Egyptian writer Fahmi Howeidi published an article entitled “Israel praying for Taksim Protestors” in Þuruk Journal and explained how Tel Aviv views the demonstrations. Howeidi excerpt the Vice President of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, Moshe Feiglin's “We pray for the persistence of demonstrations in Turkey until the fall of Erdogan. He is an anti-Semitic. He has been maintaining his hostile attitude against us, despite our progress towards reconciliation and offer of official apology.” In addition, Howeidi quoted the speeches of the Israeli Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee Chairman Avigdor Lieberman’s “I cannot hide my happiness in the face of what is happening in Turkey” and Israeli Infrastructure Minister Silvan Shalom’s “We welcome any incident which can save Turkey from the power of New Ottomans” ; as well as included the interpretation of the author of Al-Hayat Jihad al Khazen the quotation from Likudçu Commentary magazine: “Peace between the PKK and the Turkish government will deteriorate”.20 White House National Security Council spokesman Caitlin Hayden, made ??a statement about the events in Taksim.

France called for the Turkish government to act “temperately”. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius responded to questions about Turkey put to him in a television program. Fabius said that France called for Turkish government once again urged to be careful and soothe the events. French diplomacy chief said “the events need to be appeased in a democratic way.” Fabius expressed his opinion that Turkish government gave him the impression of “decaying the events” instead of appeasing them and “Democracies need to dialogue” he said.22 It was appeared that American Enterprise Institute, the most effective pro-Israeli organization in Washington, brought the matter of “possible rebellion in Istanbul” on the table with the U.S. Neo-Cons in February. The scenarios of “turning the Taksim Square into the Tahrir Square” were discussed in a simulation, in which six Turkish people took part as well. Last February, 'Istanbul Rebellion' scenario was brought on the table with the purpose of “keeping the apolitical Turkish Youth alive by pouring them into the streets” in a meeting held on American Enterprise Institute (AEI), which continues its activities in support of the American Jewish lobby AIPAC. The meeting was about the activities of AK Party government and the last 10 years of Turkey. 21 http://www.sabah.com.tr/Dunya/2013/06/12/beyaz-saraydangezi-parki-aciklamasi 22 http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/id/25448596/ de (Hudson Institute) danýþmanlýk yapan Amerikan yenimuhafazakar lobisinin simge isimleri, þubat ayýndaki oturumda Ortadoðu bölgesi politikalarýný Türkiye ile Mýsýr ekseninde ele aldý.

Six people from Turkey also took part in the meeting hosted by the American Entrepreneurship Institute. In the session, the simulation of events that have occurred in Istanbul nowadays was fulfilled. One of those around the table explained that the impression of “Turkish Spring” can be given by turning the Taksim Square into the Tahrir Square as such: “Each square in the world has a unique identity. Taksim has been stood for May 1st events. People’s making large demonstrations gives an identity to Taksim. Then, Taksim gets an identity, just like Tahrir…” Meeting revolved around the following sentences: “Turkish youth are apolitical youth. When the young people come down squares, who have never participated in any protests so far, they would become politicized necessarily. The streets should be kept alive. While the issues like freedom, hope for democracy and civil constitution pour the society into the streets; it would be very difficult to convert the square to a people's movement due to the inability of the political groups in Turkey as well as of national leftist movements to provide progressive targets. The unity of organizations must be ensured. If not, people's movement in Turkey may turn into a conflict in itself unlike the ‘Arab Spring’.

Media The Israel and the West press immediately made ??the assessment of ‘Turkish Spring’ just after the starting actions in Gezi Park turned into a conflict. The interests of world media in Taksim showed suddenly a significant increase, following the U.S. State Department’s announcement of their “concerns”. Ministry spokesman Jen Psaki used the following phrases in this explanation: “We are concerned about the number of injured protestors during the police’s dispelling the protestors. Turkey's long-term stability, security and the way to guarantee the well-being of the country are going through the approval of such fundamental freedoms as expression, assembly and association.” Reuters began to publish live events following the announcement of the United States, in a way never done before. The BBC also shared the conflicts in detail, moment by moment. CNN also broadcasted the events live, which made a clear disinformation Boston attack at the beginning of April in the U.S. While the New York Times announced the news in headlines, the most interesting comment came in the British Guardian newspaper. This newspapers by referring to the Arab Spring, claimed that “the actions spread the seeds of Turkish Spring” in the comments section of the article on Gezi Park protests. The police’s intervention to the demonstrators in Gezi 25 http://haber.stargazete.com/dunya/avusturyali-turk-vekildenskandal-sozler/haber-763243 New York Times’ta yayýmlanan “What’s Happening in Turkey?” baþlýklý tam sayfa gazete ilaný (3 Haziran 2013) The New York Times’ full-page newspaper advertisement entitled "What's Happening in Turkey?"

Ayný þekilde Jerusalem Post, Yedioth Ahranot gibi gazeteler de Taksim'deki olaylarý internet sitelerinde manþetten fotoðraflarla duyurdu. Taksim olaylarýnda gün boyu canlý yayýn yapan ve uzman görüþlerine yer veren El Cezire, park eleþtirisiyle baþlayan tepkinin hükümet karþýtý protestolara dönüþtüðünü belirtti. El Cezire, manzarayý 'Burada en çok þikayet edilen mesele, polisin ayrým yapmadan gaz sýkmasýdýr.' sözleriyle anlattýðý haberinde 'Ýnsanlar çok kýzgýn' ifadelerini kullandý.

BBC World ise bültenlerinde çatýþmalarý ikinci haber olarak geçti. Gezi Parký mesajlarýnýn Twitter'da çýð gibi büyümesi üzerine sitenin kurucusu Jack Dorsey de sessiz kalmadý.

Dorsey, Twitter'ýn uluslararasý strateji departmaný baþkaný Katie Jacobs Stanson'ýn 'Korkutucu Park and the rest of the events that occurred were covered in German media extensively. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung likened the events in Istanbul to the German environmentalists’ demonstrations against cutting the trees and the destruction of the main train station in Stuttgart. The tabloid newspaper Bild used the title of “The Anger Night of the Turks” for the news headlines on the Internet. The newspaper, “Some of the protesters have already been comparing the Taksim Square to Egypt's Tahrir square, where the toppling of Mubarak took place”, said. While the Gezi Park events were seen as the secondary news in the Western and Arab media, Israeli media have chosen to announce them in headlines. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz gave wide coverage to Gezi Park actions. The newspaper wrote as such; dozens of people were injured in the police using tear gas and water cannons to interfere with the demonstrations.

Besides to BBC and BBC Turkish Service’s openly support for the Taksim Gezi Park activists, the Dogan Group’s Channel CNN Turk has involved in a scandal of provoking them as well. In a program on CNN Turk publication of the Doðan Group, Saynur Tezel suddenly interrupted the speech of Aziz Babuscu, the AK Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman, while he was answering the questions about the Gezi Park events: “Prime Minister Erdogan speaks about the actions of Travel Park” and Prime Minister Erdogan arrived in screens.

Everyone thought that the speech was broadcast live from Africa and the Prime minister was responding the demands list of the members of the Taksim Platform, given to Bulent Arýnc. Then, calls for immediate action began to rise on Twitter. However, it was a speech made ??earlier by Erdogan. Some amount of time has passed following the publication of the news. The requirement of cancellation Artillery Barracks was included in the six-item proposal of the Platform. The publication of Erdogan’s old speech’s relevant section just as he was alive after the announcement of those items of the Platform was an exemplary example of how journalism provocation can be done.27 It was claimed in an analysis of Reuters passed all over the world without mentioning any name of the source. The leading names in the real estate sector in Turkey were consulted on the issue, but they denied the report in question. While Zorlu Holding Chairman Ahmet Nazif Zorlu was telling that “Games have been playing over Turkey”, Vice President of Real Estate Investors Association Iþýk Gokkaya said that the nature of the news is completely disinformation (deliberate misinformation). Head of BBC Global News Peter Horrocks said that he wanted an assurance from NTV to broadcast completely at the beginning of the Gezi Park resistance. Horrocks stated that “NTV reaffirmed his commitment to international standards of journalism to the BBC.”29 Britain's most important political and economic magazine The Economist has released a cover page of the publication of June 8th, in all countries except North America and Asia.

Bazý büyük medya kuruluþlarý 15 Haziran akþamý yaþananlarý þu þekilde yansýttý: New York Times: New York Times Gazetesi muhabiri Tim Arango, “Polis protestocularýn üstüne fýrtýna gibi esti” baþlýklý yazýsýnda þunlarý yazdý: “Gezi protestolarýnýn 18. gününün akþamýnda, Çevik Kuvvet parkýn üzerinde fýrtýna gibi esti.

The Economist also criticized the attitude of the state towards activists on the issue published in the June 1st and commented as “Turkey’s rising dissatisfaction with Erdogan”. However, a different cover page was used in the issue of the same date which will be published in North America and Asia.30 CNN International, which broadcast the intervention live occurred in Takism, made a phone call collection to Ibrahim Kalýn, Chief Advisor to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The famous interrupted the speech of Prime Minister’s Chief Advisor by stating that “Mr. Kalýn, I have to finish the program, it is over.”, while the chief advisor was asking the question of “Can you imagine a situation where people with Molotov cocktails and sticks in their hands allowed to walk to the White House or to attack public properties?31 The news, particularly in international media, about the evacuation of Taksim Gezi Park on the evening of the June 15th summed up the attitude adopted by them during the process. Some of the major media organizations reflected what happened on the evening of the June 15th as such: New York Times: New York Times reporter Tim Arango. He wrote in his article entitle as “Police Storm on the Protestors in Park” as such: “The police attacked protesters with water cannons next to Gezi Park, in Istanbul’s Taksim Square on Saturday in the evening of the 18th days of the demonstrations. There was only a symbolic tent in the “tent city” set up by the protestors, but the police attacked them with tear gas and water cannons, TOMAs.

Yirmi fotoðrafýn yer aldýðý galeride 19'unun Gezi Parký odaklý olaylarý yansýtmasýna karþýn, bir karenin AK Parti'nin Kazlýçeþme mitingine ait olmasý kamuoyunda ve sosyal medyada tepkilere neden oldu. Galerinin üst baþlýðý "Türkiye'de hükümet karþýtý gösteriler" iken, AK Parti mitingine ait kareye iliþkin fotoðraf altýnda "On binlerce kiþi, 16 Haziran Pazar günü Ýstanbul Kazlýçeþme'de düzenlenen mitingde Baþbakan Recep Tayyip Erdoðan'ýn konuþmasýný dinlemek üzere toplandý" ifadelerine yer verildi.33 Ulusal ve uluslararasý medya organlarýndan derlenen bu haberler, özellikle ABD ve Avrupa basýnýnda Gezi Parký sürecinin na sýl iþlendiðini o rt aya ko yma kt adýr. 32 http://www.internethaber.com/dis-basin-gezi-eylemlerini-boyle-gordu548404h.htm 33 http://www.aa.com.tr/tr/dunya/193818--cnnin-fotografi-kafa-karistirdi repeated that the protests were provoked by marginalized groups and they are international conspiracy against Turkey.” Guardian: “Hundreds of security forces move in with bulldozers during a concert forÊactivists, leaving many wounded.

Reuters: “Hundreds of people went out into the streets following the police’s enter into the Gezi Park. Due to intense tear gas, many people felt sick.” Corriere Della Serra: “Water Cannons, TOMAs, cleared the Taksim Square first, pushed people to panic and caused them to escape from the park. The place, which full of joy a few minutes ago, has soon become free from people by their escape from the park by crying and coughing helplessly due to gas.” La Repubblica: “Attack to Gezi Park. The activists sent, the camp was destroyed, the tents were removed. There are dozens of wounded and detention.”31 CNN International has achieved one more of the biased and misleading news reports throughout the process. In a picture gallery of official website named as “Anti-government demonstrations in Turkey” showed a frame from "Respect for the national will" rally, which took place in Istanbul Kazlýceçme and more than one million people attended. Although 19 pictures of the total 20-picture gallery reflected the Gezi Park related events, one picture of the gallery was from Erdogan’s Kazlýcesme rally and caused reactions in public and in social media. While the top of the gallery title was ‘Antigovernment demonstrations in Turkey’, the statement of “Tens of thousands of people gathered in Istanbul Kazlýceçme rally on the June 16th to listen to the speech of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan” was under the frame of the photo of the AK Party rally.32 The news compiled from national and international media bodies reveals how the process of Gezi Park events is handled by the U.S. and European media, especially. 32 http://www.internethaber.com/dis-basin-gezi-eylemlerini-boylegordu-548404h.htm 33 http://www.aa.com.tr/tr/dunya/193818--cnnin-fotografi-kafakaristirdi WHO WATERS TREES OF GEZI PARK? 25 olaylarýn arkaplaný the background of the events Þiddete yönelmeyen ve demokratik taleplerini dile getirerek hak arama mücadelesine giren bireyler, gösterilerin özellikle ilk üç gününde etkin olmuþ, ancak dýþ faktörlerin de olaylara müdahil olmasý ile sürecin seyri bu aþamadan sonra deðiþmiþtir. Ýlk günlerde polisin protestoculara müdahalesinde ve özellikle biber gazý kullanýmýnda aþýrýlýklar yaþanmýþ ve toplumun her kesimi tarafýndan tepkiyle karþýlanmýþtýr. Bu durum UHÝM tarafýndan “Gezi Parký Olaylarý ve Çýkarýlacak Dersler” baþlýðý ile kamuoyuna sunulan basýn açýklamasýnda da dile getirilmiþtir. Ancak ilerleyen günlerde olaylarýn seyrinin deðiþmesi ile birlikte marjinal gruplarýn sürece dahil olmasý, göstericilerin þiddete baþvurmasý, kamu malýna ve çevreye zarar verilmesi benzer bir tepkinin bu kez protestoculara yönelmesine yol açmýþtýr. Gösteriler esnasýnda özellikle Ankara’da Baþbakanlýk binasýna ve Ýstanbul Dolmabahçe’deki Baþbakanlýk Ofisi’ne saldýrýlarýn gerçekleþtirilmesi düþündürücüdür. Öte yandan gösteriler süreç içerisinde gitgide Baþbakan Erdoðan’ýn þahsýna yönelmiþ ve daha önce görülmemiþ biçimde, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Baþbakaný’nýn þahsýný ve ailesini hedef alan hakaret ve küfürlerle siyasi üslubun dýþýna çýkýlmýþtýr. Bununla birlikte seçimlerde halkýn %50 destek vererek iþbaþýna getirdiði seçilmiþ bir baþbakan diktatör olarak lanse edilmeye ve toplumda bir diktatör algýsý oluþturulmaya çalýþýlmýþtýr. Bu söylem gerek uluslararasý kamuoyunda, gerek Türkiye’deki muhalif unsurlarca sürekli tekrar edilmek suretiyle iþlenmiþtir. Nitekim Gezi Parký olaylarý sürecinde de protesto gösterilerinin odaðýnda Baþbakan Erdoðan’ýn bir diktatör olduðu söylemi merkeze oturtulmuþ ve bu söylem üzerinden bir kamuoyu oluþturulmaya çalýþýlmýþtýr. 26 GEZÝ PARKI’NIN AÐAÇLARINI KÝM SULUYOR? The individuals, who did not head towards violence, and struggle for advocacy by voicing their democratic demands had been effective especially in the first three days of demonstrations,. However, the course of events has changed after this stage with the fact that external factors involved in the process. The intervention of the police to the protesters especially in the early days, and the excessive use of pepper spray were condemned by every segment of society. This issue was also expressed to the public by UHIM with the title of “The Lessons from the Gezi Park Events” in the press release. However, with the alteration of the course of events in the coming days, the involvement of the marginalized groups in the process, the protesters’ resort to violence, destruction of public property and the environment led a similar response to turn to the protesters this time. During the demonstrations, the attacks to Prime Ministry Building in Ankara and Prime Minister's Office in Istanbul Dolmabahce are thought-provoking. On the other hand, the demonstrations had gradually directed to the personality of the Prime Minister in the process, and the insults and the threats targeted at the personality and the family of the Turkish Republic’s Prime Minister, thus the deviation from the political style has occurred in an unprecedented manner never seen before. Besides, an elected prime minister brought to power by 50 % of the public support tried to be portrayed as a dictator and attempted to establish a perception of dictator in the eyes of the community. This discourse had been re-processed constantly both in international ABD’li ve Avrupalý siyasilerin yaþananlardan kaygý duyduklarýný ifade eden, Türkiye’ye gitmeyi düþünen vatandaþlarýný uyaran, Türkiye’nin bir diktatörlük olduðunu öne süren açýklamalarýnýn adeta organize bir biçimde peþpeþe ve birbirini teyit eder nitelikte sýralanmasý, dünya siyasetine yön veren küresel aktörlerin Gezi Parký olaylarýna nasýl yaklaþtýðýný açýklamaktadýr. Bu noktada Kanal 24 Genel Yayýn Yönetmeni ve Star gazetesi yazarý Yiðit Bulut tarafýndan açýklanan bir rapor da, küresel aktörlerin Türkiye’de Gezi Parký olaylarý esnasýnda yaþanan sürece benzer süreçler üzerinde strateji geliþtirdiklerini ortaya koymaktadýr. 2009 yýlýnda Avrupa’nýn en büyük iki ülkesinin istihbarat birimleri tarafýndan hazýrlandýðý ve Türkiye’den bir üniversite rektörünün de katýldýðý iddia edilen raporda, Türkiye’nin son yýllarda yakaladýðý ivmenin durdurulmasý gerektiði ve nihai hedefin Ýslam o lduðunun ya zýldýðý iddia edilmek t edir. Gezi Parký eylemleri sürerken Papa Francis’in kendisini ziyarete gelen bir Ermeni heyeti ile yaptýðý görüþmede, “20. yüzyýlýn ilk soykýrýmý Ermenilere yapýlmýþtýr” þeklindeki ifadeleri, Türkiye’de yaþanan sürecin küresel aktörler tarafýndan yönlendirilmeye ve araçsallaþtýrýlmaya çalýþýldýðýný göstermiþtir. Uluslararasý medya kuruluþlarý da Gezi Parký olaylarýný benzer þekilde ele almýþ, yanlý ve kýþkýrtýcý haberleri ile dünya kamuoyunu yanlýþ bilgilendirmiþ, olaylarý manipüle etmiþtir. CNN, BBC, Reuters, Associated Press, el-Cezire gibi yayýn organlarýnýn Taksim’den saatlerce süren canlý yayýnlar yapmasý, CNN’in 13 savaþ muhabirini Türkiye’ye göndermesi, gösterileri Arap Baharý sürecindekine benzer bir tavýrla sunmasý, Türkiye’de bir içsavaþ yaþanýyor izlenimi uyandýrmaya çalýþmasý gibi hususlar, uluslararasý medya organlarýnýn sürece yaklaþýmýna dair önemli ipuçlarý vermektedir. Benzer bir tavrý, kapaðýnda Baþbakan Erdoðan’ýn padiþah olarak resmedildiði ve “Demokrat mý Sultan mý? Erdoðan ve Türk Ayaklanmasý” public and by opposition elements of Turkey. In fact, along the process of the Gezi Park Events, the discourse of Prime Minister’s being a dictator had been in the focal point of protests and a public opinion had been attempted to establish out of that discourse. Expressed concerns of the U.S. and European politicians about the incidents, warning its citizens who intend to go to Turkey, the successive statements of dictatorship in Turkey in an organized fashion, which confirmed each other, explain the way how the global actors that shape world politics approach to the Gezi Park Events. At this point, a report published by Yigit Bulut, from the Channel 24 and the Chief Editor and author of the Star newspaper reveals how the global actors develop strategies about the processes similar to those in Gezi Park Events of Turkey. It was claimed in a report, which was claimed to be prepared by intelligence agencies of the two largest countries in Europe in 2009 and a Turkish university rector alleged to participate, that Turkey’s momentum attained in recent years must be stopped, for his ultimate goal is Islam, allegedly written. Francis Pope’ statement, spiritual leader of the Catholic world, in a meeting with Armenian Patriarch Nerses Bedros “Armenian Genocide was the first one in the 20th century” shows the process in Turkey led by global actors and attempted to be instrumentalized. Similarly, International media organizations have dealt with the Gezi Park events in a similar vein, failed to inform the world public with biased and provocative news, and thus manipulated the events. The issues such as media organization’s live broadcasts lasting several hours like in CNN, BBC, Reuters, Associated Press & Al Jazeera, CNN’s sending 13 war correspondents to Turkey, presenting the demonstrations with an attitude similar to the one in Arab Spring, and giving the impression of a civil war happening in Turkey WHO WATERS TREES OF GEZI PARK? 27 baþlýðýnýn kullanýldýðý 8 Haziran tarihli sayýsýyla The Economist de göstermiþtir. Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post ve Los Angeles Times gibi yayýn organlarý da yanlý yorum ve haberleriyle bu sürece dahil olmuþtur. New York Times ise 3 Haziran tarihinde “What’s Happening in Turkey?” (Türkiye’de Neler Oluyor?) baþlýklý tam sayfa bir ilana yer vermiþ ve ilandan hareketle bir baðýþ kampanyasý baþlatýlmýþtýr. Henüz gösterilerin ilk günlerinde gerçekleþen bu durum eylemlerin ne kadar organize olduðu iddialarýný da güçlendirmektedir. Uluslararasý medya organlarýnýn kendi ülkeleri dýþýnda yaþanan toplumsal hadiselere yaklaþým biçim düþündürücüdür. Kendi ülkelerinde yaþanan benzer olaylarda yalnýzca bilgilendirme amaçlý yayýn yapan uluslararasý yayýn organlarý, dünyanýn diðer bölgelerinde yaþanan olaylarda ise kýþkýrtýcý, yönlendirici ve yanýltýcý bir tavýr ve üslupla hareket etmektedir. Ýngiltere menþeli BBC, Reuters gibi haber ajanslarýnýn, Gezi Parký olaylarý hakkýnda yaptýklarý haberlerle, ayný günlerde Kuzey Ýrlanda’da gerçekleþtirilecek G8 zirvesini protesto etmek amacýyla Ýngiltere’de düzenlenen gösteriler hakkýnda yaptýklarý yayýnlar arasýnda yapýlacak bir kýyaslama bunu ortaya koymaya yetecektir. Anadolu Ajansý Genel Müdürü Kemal Öztürk, Ýngiltere’de yaþanan olaylar sýrasýnda kendilerine yayýn yapýlmasýna izin verilmediðini ve 3G baðlantýlarýnýn kesildiðini ifade etmiþtir. Ülkemizde anaakým medya olarak isimlendirilen medya organlarýnýn da olaylara benzer bir bakýþ açýsýyla yaklaþtýðý görülmüþtür. Sözkonusu medya organlarý bu süreçte toplumu doðru bilgilendirmekten ziyade, yönlendirici ve kýþkýrtýcý yayýnlar yaparak kaos ortamýnýn oluþturulmasýna katký saðlamýþtýr. UHÝM sürecin geldiði bu noktada “Türkiye Küresel Sistemle Hesaplaþmaya Hazýrlanýyor!” baþlýklý ikinci bir basýn açýklamasý yayýmlamýþtýr. Uluslararasý sahada gerek siyasi mercilerin, gerek medya organlarýnýn Gezi Parký olaylarýna yaklaþýmý incelendiðinde, Batý’nýn öteden beri süregelen Ýslamofobik tutumunun devam ettiði görülecektir. Nitekim son dönemde Türkiye ile ilgili olarak uluslararasý kamuoyunda ele alýnan içki düzenlemesi, nüfus artýþýnýn teþvik edilmesi vb. konular sürekli olarak Ýslam’la iliþkilendirilmiþ ve Türkiye’de Ýslamcý bir diktatörlüðe doðru gidildiði algýsý oluþturulmaya çalýþýlmýþtýr. Olaylarýn bu noktaya gelmesinde kuþkusuz sosyal medyanýn da önemli rolü bulunmaktadýr. Sosyal medyanýn toplumlarý yönlendirmede bir spekülasyon aracý olarak kullanýldýðý gerçeði üzerinde UHÝM daha önce de ýsrarla durmuþtur. Özellikle ‘Arap Baharý’ sürecinde sosyal medya toplumlarý yönlendirmek 28 GEZÝ PARKI’NIN AÐAÇLARINI KÝM SULUYOR? provide important clues about the approaches of the international media outlets to the process in Turkey. A similar attitude was displayed by the Economist magazine’s issue of the June 8th as Prime Minister Erdogan’s depiction as a sultan in the cover page and used the headlines of “Democrat or Sultan? Erdogan and the Turkish Riot”. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times involved in that process with their biased reviews and news. On June 3rd, full-page ad entitled as “What's Happening in Turkey?” was given in the New York Times, and a fundraising campaign was launched moving this announcement. That case took place yet in the early days of the demonstrations strengthens the claims of how the actions are organized. The approach of international media outlets to the social happenings outside their own countries is thoughtprovoking. While the international media organizations broadcast in similar situations in their home countries only for informational purposes, on the other hand, they act with a provocative, manipulative and misleading attitude towards the events in other parts of the world. A comparison between the publications of UK originated BBC and Reuter news agencies in Gezi Park demonstration in Turkey and protest in England against the G8 summit, which took place in Northern Ireland on the same days, will be sufficient to demonstrate that point. Anadolu Agency General Manager Kemal Öztürk stated that during the events in the UK, they were not allowed to make publications and their 3G connections were cut off. It was witnessed that media outlets, also known as the mainstream media in our country, approached to the events with the same attitude. Such media outlets contributed to the creation of chaos by making manipulative and provocative publications, instead of informing the community in this process accurately. At this stage of the process, UHÝM issued the second press release entitled as “Turkey prepares for showdown with Global System!” The Islamophobic attitude of the West has long been seen, when the approaches of political authorities in the international arena and of media outlets to Gezi Park events are analyzed. In fact, the issues dealt with respect to Turkey in international arena such as recent regulations of alcohol and encouragement of population growth have always been associated with Islam, and the perception of establishing an Islamist dictatorship in Turkey has been attempted. için yoðun olarak kullanýlmýþ ve hýzla yayýlan yanlý, yanlýþ ve kýþkýrtýcý haberlerle halkta tedhiþ duygularýnýn oluþmasý saðlanmýþtýr. Nitekim Gezi Parký olaylarý esnasýnda da farklý zamanlara ve mekanlara ait görüntüler, Gezi Parký olaylarý esnasýnda çekilmiþ gibi gösterilmiþ ve toplum kandýrýlmýþtýr. Çok sayýda insanýn öldüðü, polisin tomalarla insanlarý ezdiði vb. çok sayýda kýþkýrtýcý ileti paylaþýlmýþtýr. Doðruluk payýnýn bulunmadýðý kýsa sürede belli olan bu tip haber, fotoðraf ve videolar toplumu galeyana getirme iþlevini yerine getirmiþtir. Bu noktada akla þöyle bir soru gelmektedir: Acaba Batý ülkelerinde de durum böyle midir? Sosyal medyada manipülatif haberler yapýlmasýna ve bu yolla toplumun belli bir yöne kanalize edilmesine acaba bu ülkelerde müsaade edilmekte midir? Öte yandan reklam sektöründen de süreci kaosa sürüklemeyi hedefleyen uygulamalar gelmiþtir. Gezi Parký’nda yaþanan süreci destekleyen yayýnlar yapmayan medya organlarý bir anlamda cezalandýrýlmýþ ve ekonomik zarara uðratýlmýþtýr. Global ölçekte faaliyet gösteren ve reklam sektöründe yaklaþýk 5 milyar dolarlýk bir yekuna yön veren medya satýn alma ajanslarý, hýzlý bir þekilde reklam iptaline gitmiþtir. Ýptal edilen reklamlarýn çoðunun Türkiye’de büyük pazar payý olan ABD ve Ýngiltere menþeli firmalar ile Türkiye’deki büyük holding ve bankalara ait olduðu iddia edilmektedir. Gezi Parký’nda gerçekleþtirilen eylemler, her ne kadar çevrelerine duyarlý bireylerin tepkileriyle baþlamýþsa da, ilerleyen günlerde uluslararasý bir boyut kazanmýþtýr. Yaþanan süreç bütüncül bir yaklaþýmla deðerlendirildiðinde, küresel aktörlerin Türkiye’de yaþanan bazý geliþmelerden duyduklarý rahatsýzlýk karþýsýnda harekete geçtiði ve Gezi Parký sürecinin de bu anlayýþla kullanýldýðý görülecektir. Türkiye’nin son yýllarda tarihsel misyonuna uygun þekilde uluslararasý kamuoyunda itibarýnýn artmasý, ekonomik alanda dünyadaki kriz ortamýna raðmen istikrarlý bir geliþme göstermesi, ülkedeki vesayetçi The social media play undoubtedly an important role in the events’ coming to this point. UHÝM have focused persistently on the fact that social media has been used as a means of speculation in directing communities. The social media had been used intensively in order to manipulate the societies, especially during the process of ‘Arab Spring’. Thus, the formation of feelings of terror in the society was implemented by means of rapidly spreading biased, false and provocative news. Indeed, in the course of the Gezi Park events, the images of different times and places were shown as if taken during the Gezi Park events and the society was deceived. A large number of provocative posts were shared such as lots of people were killed or the police’s oppression of people with huge water cannons- TOMAs. Those types of news, photos and videos, which were realized soon as not accurate, fulfilled the function of agitating the society. At this point the question comes to mind: Is the case same in Western countries as here? We wonder if these countries allow to make manipulative news on social media, thus to canalize the society into a certain direction by this way? On the other hand, some interventions of the advertising sector targeting to drag the process into chaos were observed. Media organs, which did not make broadcastings supporting the process of Gezi Park events were penalized in a sense, and had been subjected to economic loss. Media buying agencies, which operate on a global scale and lead a total of about $ 5 billion in advertising industry, went to the cancellation of advertising quickly. It was claimed that most of the cancelled ads were belonging to the U.S. and UK based firms having a large market share in Turkey and Turkey's largest holding companies and banks. Although the Gezi Park events began as reactions of individuals, who were sensitive to their environment, Baþbakan Recep Tayyip Erdoðan’ýn, sanatçý ve Gezi Parký temsilcilerinden oluþan bir heyetle gerçekleþtirdiði görüþme.

Ancak dýþarýda rahatsýzlýk uyandýran bu olumlu geliþmeler ve ülkede mevcut olan “her þeyin iyi gittiði” savýna karþýlýk olarak, baþta Baþbakan Erdoðan olmak üzere devlet yöneticilerinin üslubu ve toplumla iletiþim kurma biçimi, þehircilik alanýnda yaþanan olumsuz geliþmeler, yaþam tarzýna ve kiþisel tercihlere müdahale edildiði, hükümetin küresel sermaye ile olan iliþkisi ve Suriye politikasý gibi konularda farklý çevrelerden pek çok eleþtiri de yöneltilmektedir. Bununla birlikte bu eleþtiriler ülkedeki siyaset mekanizmasý içerisinde çözümlenebilecek niteliktedir. Nitekim Türkiye, geçmiþ dönemlerde de küresel aktörler tarafýndan desteklenen, yönlendirilen ya da bizzat uygulanan benzer politikalara muhatap olmuþtur. ABD ve Avrupalý siyasetçilerin, uluslararasý medya organlarýnýn, küresel sermaye gruplarýnýn ve Türkiye’deki statükocu anlayýþýn Gezi Parký sürecindeki yaklaþýmlarý, Türkiye’yi geçmiþte askeri darbelere götüren süreçlerdeki yaklaþýmlarla paralellik arz etmektedir. Gezi Parký olaylarý, devletin ve devlet yöneticilerinin toplumla iliþki kurma biçimini yansýtmasý bakýmýndan da bize önemli veriler sunmaktadýr. Protestolarýn özellikle ilk günlerinde, Baþbakan Erdoðan’ýn protestolara yaklaþým biçiminde, kullandýðý ifadelerde ve üslubunda hatalar olduðu görülmektedir. Bu süreçte, ülkesinde yaþanan geliþmelere karþý duyarlýlýk gösteren ve demokratik haklarýný kullanan vatandaþlarýn sesine tam olarak kulak verilmemiþ ve güvenlik güçlerinin göstericilere aþýrý ve gereksiz müdahaleleri sözkonusu olmuþtur. Kýsacasý ülkemizde uzun yýllar yerleþik olarak bulunan toplumu ve vatandaþý deðil devleti önceleyen güvenlikçi anlayýþýn yansýmalarý görülmüþtür. Demokratik yönetimlerde vatandaþ yalnýzca sandýkta oy verirken deðil, yöneticilerin karar alma ve uygulama süreçlerinde de söz hakkýna sahip olmalýdýr. Bir partinin halkýn desteðini alarak ülke yönetiminin baþýna geçmesi, kendisine sýnýrsýz bir yetki verildiði anlamýna gelmemelidir. Dolayýsýyla yönetimler, karar alma ve uygulama süreçlerine vatandaþlarýný dahil etmeli ve iþlerini müzakere ve bilgilendirme temelinde sürdürmelidir. Nitekim süreç içerisinde baþta Baþbakan Recep Tayyip Erdoðan, Baþbakan Yardýmcýsý Bülent Arýnç ve Ýstanbul Valisi Hüseyin Avni Mutlu’nun tüm kesimleri muhatap alan, müzakereye yönelen açýklamalarý ve bu doðrultuda içinde göstericilerin de yer aldýðý heyetlerle görüþmeler gerçekleþtirmeleri bu sürecin kazanýmlarý olarak zikredilebilir. 30 GEZÝ PARKI’NIN AÐAÇLARINI KÝM SULUYOR? they have gained an international dimension in the coming days. When the process was evaluated with a holistic approach, it would be seen that the global actors have mobilized in the face of some discomforting developments in Turkey. Turkey’s increased credibility in international community in recent years in accordance with the historical mission, showing a steady improvement in the economic sphere, despite the crisis in the world, important steps taken against the status quo and to the tutelage understanding in the country, and a serious coverage of distance in the solution of the problem of terrorism, measures taken to prevent the lobbies’ gaining an unfair advantage over Turkey, especially the interest lobby are the other motives of discomfort against out county. However, on the contrary to these positive developments creating tension outside, and in response to the assertion available in the country as “Everything is going well”; a lot of criticisms from different parties directed to Turkey on such as the discourse of the government administrators, especially the Prime Minister, and their ways of communicating with the society, negative developments in the field of urban planning, interference with lifestyle and personal preferences, the government's relationship with the global capital, and policy issues such as Syria. However, these criticisms can be solved in the country’s political mechanisms. In fact, Turkey has been addressed to similar policies in the past, supported by global actors, or directed and applied by them personally. The approaches of U.S. and European politicians, international media outlets, Global capital groups and the status quo in Turkey to the process of Gezi Park events are parallel to the approaches which led the process to military coups in the past. Gezi Park events offer us important data in terms of reflecting the way how the government administrators or the state to relate to society. Especially in the first days of the protests, some errors were observed in Prime Minister Erdogan's approach in the form of protests, in his discourse and expressions to the society. In this process, the voices of people, who are sensitive to developments in their country and use their democratic rights, were not listened carefully. In short, the reflection of the understanding of security guard precedes the state, rather than the citizens of the state, which are built in our country for many years. The citizens in democratic governments should not only have a say when voting in the ballot box, but also in the decisionmaking and implementation processes of government Gezi Parký olaylarýnda yer alan göstericilerin büyük bir bölümünün genç kuþaktan oluþtuðu gözlerden kaçmamýþtýr. Bu durum özellikle 18-25 yaþ arasý genç kitle ile ilgili tartýþma ve deðerlendirmeleri de beraberinde getirmiþtir. Sözkonu yaþ grubunu oluþturan kitlenin 10 yýlý aþkýn bir süredir ülke yönetiminin baþýnda bulunan AK Parti iktidarlarý döneminde yetiþtiði açýktýr. Bu bakýmdan, bugün genç kuþak hakkýnda yapýlacak olumlu ve olumsuz deðerlendirmelerde AK Parti hükümetinin uygulamalarýnýn kuþkusuz önemli payý olacaktýr. Ülke gençliðinin önemli bir bölümünü oluþturan AK Parti tabanýndaki genç kitlenin, partinin politikalarýna angaje olduðu ve sosyal meselelere duyarlýlýk göstermekte yetersiz kaldýðý gözlemlenmektedir. Diðer tarafta ise aþýrý politize olmuþ ve marjinalleþmiþ bir genç kitlenin de oluþtuðu görülmektedir. Politik anlamda herhangi bir siyasi görüþe angaje olmayan üçüncü bir grup ise uluslararasý alanda yaþanan geliþmeleri anlamlandýrma kt a ye te rsiz ka ldýð ý sö yleneb ilir. administrators. A party’s having the country’s leadership with the support of a lot of people does not mean that it gives an unlimited entitlement to the party. Therefore, governments should involve citizens in decision-making and implementation processes and continue to work on the basis of negotiation with society and information giving to them. Indeed, during the process of the events, the negotiation speeches of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, particularly, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, and Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu with those delegations; their explanations addressing to all sectors of the field and carrying out consultations with delegations may be cited as the gains of the process. The majority of the demonstrators in the Gezi Park were of younger generations and this has not been overlooked. This case has brought discussion and reviews especially for younger audience between the ages of 18-25. It is very clear to say that the age group of the so-called crowd brought up in the period of the administration of AK Party, which has been in power over ten years. In this regard, the applications of AK Party government will be have undoubtedly an important role in the4 positive and negative evaluations to be made about the younger generation of today. It was observed that the young population base of the AK Party, which makes up a significant portion of the country's youth, have been engaged in the policies of the party and showing insufficient sensitivity to social issues. On the other hand, we have seen the formation of overly politicized and marginalized young audience. As for the third group, not engaged in any views in the political sense, they seem to be insufficient in making sense of the developments in the international arena.

Toplumsal talepler þiddet kullanýlarak bastýrýlmamalý, þiddet içermeyen toplumsal hareketlilikler güvenlik zaafiyeti olarak algýlanmamalýdýr. Güvenlik güçleri bu gibi durumlarda topluma müdahale etmek için deðil, güvenliklerini saðlamak için görev almalýdýr. • Gezi Parký olaylarýnýn özellikle ilerleyen aþamalarýnda protestocularýn uyguladýðý þiddet hiçbir þekilde kabul edilemez. Hiçbir hak talebi, kamuya ait alanlar iþgal edilerek, insanlara, çevreye ve kamu mallarýna zarar verilerek elde edilemez. • Ülkeyi yöneten siyasi kadrolar genç nesli anlamak, anlamlandýrmak ve böylece daha saðlýklý nesillerin yet iþmesine zemin hazýrlamak la yükümlüdür. • Ülke yönetiminin baþýnda bulunanlar sadece aldýklarý oya güvenerek hareket etmemeli, icraatlarýnda toplumla müzakere yoluna gitmelidir.

Bu sebeple toplumun tüm kesimlerinin aklýselimle hareket etmesi ve küresel sistemin ülkemiz üzerindeki operasyonlarýna karþý uyanýk olmasý gerekmektedir. differences in lifestyle can be turned into violence by some sections of society. In fact, during the demonstrations the insults and attacks on women wearing headscarves in particular overshadowed the virtues of tolerance for differences and coexistence of the society. • The violence implemented by the security forces in the early days of the Gezi Park incidents is unacceptable. Social demands should not be suppressed by using violence, and the non-violent social fluctuations not be regarded as security weaknesses. In such cases, the task of the security forces should be to ensure the safety of the society, rather than interfering with the community. • The violence of the protesters, especially in the later stages of the Gezi Park incidents is totally unacceptable. Any claim cannot be achieved by the occupation of public areas and damage to people, to the environment and to the public properties. • Political elites who ruled the country are obliged to understand the young generations, make sense of them, and thus required to prepare the ground so that the growth of healthy generations can be possible. • Those who have the country’s governance should not be acting just relying on their voting, they should seek the negotiation with the society in the interventions. It should be noted that there are many ways of establishing dialogues with the community in our increasing communication opportunities. • However, during the process of the events, the negotiation speeches of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, particularly, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, and Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu with those delegations; their explanations addressing to all sectors of the field and carrying out consultations with delegations may be cited as the gains of the process. This attitude must become permanent and the adoption of such an understanding of politics is essential. • The support shown to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan by the community after the Gezi Park incidents should be analyzed well by the counterparts of the support. This given support should be perceived as a stance against practices of global system, rather than a support given to the government's policies. • The global system will continue to intervene to Turkey on several occasions, too, after the Gezi Park incidents. They will make it to their advantage, not for the sake of our people. Therefore, it is clear that Turkey will suffer from these processes. For this reason, all sectors of society should act in a wise manner and be awake to the operations of the global system against our country.
