Well, since you're answering questions... Would you say in general that the government is becoming less 'secular'? Have there been other large changes pushed by the government besides the big issues I have heard about (including the alcohol issue)? Also, have there been laws put in place against atheism or LGBT rights issues? One of the big issues right now is that these protests are not really getting coverage in the media here in the US. It's hard to get the full story. |

examples:
- a blind man approached minister of health and says "we can't live with minimum-wage. Please improve current situations." And this is what the minister says: "You are blind and we gave you job. How dare you want more?" Source news article: http://gundem.milliyet.com.tr/bakan-akdag-gozlerin-gormuyor-...
- they don't have shame. we are using one of the most expensive oil in the world and after the last raise government said: "we didn't raise the price of oil, we just raised the tax". I can't find anything to say about that.
- These people protested against "internet ban": http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0nternetime_Dokunma! What did government say? "These people are just a bunch of teenage porn-lovers"
- The PM said: "Not everyone need to go to college. People who are educated too much are miserable." http://www.radikal.com.tr/haber.php?haberno=144718
I can go on and on.
