In Turkey, thousands of protesters clash with riot police for second day in fiercest anti-government demonstrations for years.
This is a surge of protest unique against the backdrop of the ”Arab Spring” uprisings of recent years — Turkey’s democratic functions are more robust than could have been said of Mubarak’s Egypt or Gaddafi’s Libya, to be sure, but the police clashes, arrests and hard pushback from the government of Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as such things often do, have given way to a violent discord within the nation.
