I did this piece for the Gezi Park protests in 2013. The protests united thousands of people across the country against the increasingly authoritarian style of the Turkish government. The protests were triggered by government building plans in Gezi Park, the small green area on the edge of Taksim Square.
Now, years later the destruction of hundreds of thousands of trees is taking place in Kirazlı Village in Çanakkale due to the gold mine activities of the evil Canada-based Alamos Gold company. Once again, we need to protest, stand by our trees to save the nature of Turkey and the world in general. #ağacımadokunma #altındaölümvar #kazdağlarıhepimizin #kazdağlarınadokunma #geziresistance #geziparkprotests #saldayadokunma #şirinceyedokunma #deforestation #alamosgold
