Oktay Ege Kozak, a Turkish film critic and screenwriter, describes what is bringing thousands of Turks, young and old, across all ethnic and religious divides, together on the streets: "These protests are not just about a group of trees anymore. These protests are about millions of Turkish people doing whatever they can to protect our country’s legacy of personal freedom and secularism. After ten years of their rights being taken away bit by bit, the country’s young and old banding together to remind a deluded, self-imposed king that he does not rule over the land. That the land does not belong to him, it belongs to all of us…the explosion was inevitable." Source: Forbes
