The campaign is there to provide insights what's going on in Turkey, it's not questioning the average income increase, China is one the greatest economical powers of the world, so what? It doesnt mean people are free and treated right.

This campaign is there for supporting the most basic human right: being heard.

As a side note, the protests were never not influenced by a political party at all. I personally know several AKP voters, who are on the street now.

I agree with this. I don't know about the situation in Turkey, but definitely, average salary is not the measure of people's well-being at all. If peaceful citizens go to the streets to protest, they really feel that something is going wrong.

Last year, autocratic government of Russia unleashed repressions agains their own citizens, and it was (and is) really ugly. I hope that people of Turkey will withstand the violent actions of the government, and their voice will be heard.
