Unfortunate! These protests are unrelated to Syrian war but Turkey is likely to see more of these unless they stop meddling in their neighbouring countries. They should learn lesson from Pak-Afghan history...

Turkey is a neighbor of Syria. Whatever happens in Syria will effect Turkey. Many other countries are interfering in Syria. If Turkey doesn't act then it may loose it's interests in Syria. Similarly many countries other than Pakistan are meddling in Afghanistan. Pakistan shares a huge border with Afghanistan and hosts huge Afghan refugees. If Pakistan doesn't act to protect it's interest in Afghanistan then other unfriendly powers will take hold of Afghanistan. This is a fact of life and Pakistan, just like Turkey, has to live with it.

What goes around, comes around. Karma bites really hard. Turkey is paying back for what it did to Syrian people. Soon it will bleed on it's own !!!!

The anti-Islamic group is venting it's anger at Turkey's last elections, they should do so peacefully. The West cannot come to their help as brazenly as they did in Iran, not that they succeeded in Iran either.

This is Sultan Erdogan problem with ATATURK. He wants to erase the memories of ATATURK . GHAZI PARK, is the site, where on March 30, 1909, ATATURK forces crushed the Ottoman artillary guards. Erdogan wants the Artillary Barracks rebuilt. This is probably the beginning of the end of the grandeurs of Sultan Erdogan.
