I don't know if I'm on any living soul's friend page but for what it's worth..
If you've heard anything about the ongoing protests in Turkey, I caution you to take the news with a grain of salt. Things aren't what CNN and the likes are making it sound like (they went so far as to use a photo of a pro-government rally of nearly one million people as though it's an anti-government protest). No "Turkish Spring", no government overthrown. The atmosphere is very strained but it's not like there's a revolution here.
If anything, it's shocking to realize this is the same media we've followed on events in the Middle East. God knows what the truth behind everything really was.
Peace out.
