Provocateurs?There is a suspicion that some of those who threw petrol bombs today could have been police provocateurs, according to Nick Hobbs a British concert promoter who lives close to Taksim Square.
Speaking to the Guardian after witnessing protesters being teargassed this morning, he said:
My guess is they've used this excuse of cleaning up the Ataturk cultural centre and monument in the middle of Taksim as an excuse to test what happens if they clean the whole square.
The main issue is whether the people who threw the molotov cocktails this morning were provocateurs or demonstrators of some kind. The park people completely disown that kind of violence. They don't want to anything to do with it and try to stop it.
The social networking sites are saying they were police provocateurs, but who knows.
Some of the rioters, or whatever they were, were chased by teargas.
I just visited my friend in hospital because she got hit by a teargas canister last week. I saw a policeman being bought into hospital with a head injury.

Erdogan says riots "harm our economy and image".
Oh no! We can't have Turkey's image ruined, so let's just send in the riot police with tear gas and water-cannon and fifth columnists so the world can film it.
Ah, that's better.
The image of brutality is now restored. Only the economy to go.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951).

From post my #15 above, quoting The Observer:
Quote:Why it has become such a fraught issue was hinted at in a statement issued in the midst of the protests by Istanbul's Chamber of Physicians, insisting: "It is not [the] job [of police and officials] to protect the profitability of the contractors who will build a shopping mall on Taksim Square."
The rapid urbanisation of Turkey and huge growth of Istanbul in the past two decades has defined the transformation of Turkish society and politics. The continuing migration from rural areas like eastern Anatolia to Istanbul has fuelled the growth of the city, driving a building boom. Politically, it has been prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's moderate Islamist AKP that has benefited from this expansion, the recently urbanised being more socially conservative.
While tension between Turkey's old secular elites and this new class have long been inevitable, two consequences have not been. As Transparency International made clear in a recent survey of Turkey, while its elections largely have been free and fair, corruption, especially linked to the construction industry, has been a growing problem. In April, for the first time ever, two officials in Turkey's public housing administration which enjoys a virtually unopposed monopoly to redevelop private and public land, including a 20-year, $400bn urban renewal budget were charged with extorting bribes and abuse of power.
Indeed those who have benefited from recent large projects have allegedly included key players in Turkish society, including members of Erdogan's own party, a company run by Erdogan's son-in-law and the Turkish armed forces.
The perception in Turkey that barely regulated development is being driven for the economic benefit of entrenched interests with links to party politics, rather than in the public interest, has been fuelled by the hard data about some of the most controversial developments, including Gezi Park.
As a recent article in Hurriyet Daily News made clear, Turkey, and Istanbul in particular, hardly needs more malls. Istanbul already has so many that 11 in the city have been forced to close down.
All of these are issues that have been exacerbated by the majoritarian political style of Erdogan and the AKP. In refusing to back down over the mall development in a speech on Saturday, Erdogan underlined suspicions that he has no interest in dialogue with those who oppose him at a time when he is being accused of leading his country down an ever more authoritarian route.
For "protecting economic growth", read using police and the military to protect corrupt contracts benefitting a corrupt elite.
