Young Turks seek greater liberty, not revolution

“Ask the younger protesters who have taken to Turkey’s streets over the past two weeks what they are fighting for, and the response is simple: ‘More freedom’. At the forefront are a generation who, unlike their parents, have grown up in an increasingly outward-looking and fast-growing economy, a new middle class with satellite TV, smartphones and social media connections with friends around the world.  Ironically it is Erdogan who has driven that change, overseeing a near-tripling in nominal wealth over his past decade in power. But for the young protesters in Ankara, Istanbul and other cities around Turkey, he has created a generation whose aspirations he no longer understands.”
