The some scenario of the Arab Spring countries is still actively operating in the Middle East and now it has moved to Turkey where anti- government protests are being staged in Taksim  Square calling for toppling the government of  Erdogan .  According to Turkish Foreign Ministry, 939 people were arrested and 79 were wounded in the protests.

The protests, the fiercest ever to take place in Turkey in 11 years, extended to reach many other Turkish cities besides Istanbul, calling for uniting against what they called fascism.

The anti-government protests began from Besiktas district then moved to the bridge leading to Taksim square and the parliament.

And like it was the scene in the Arab Spring countries, we saw the Istanbul governor blaming a group of rioters of sneaking among peaceful protesters to stoke up tension for unacceptable political purposes.

Then the superpower emerged in the scene calling on its Turkish ally to respect public freedoms,  the main foundation for a profound democratic state.

And as it happens in the Arab Spring countries, we saw the Amnesty International expressing concern over the heavy-handed crackdown on protesters and the excessive use of force against them.

Thus the terms democracy ?  Freedoms and the Amnesty International have become the keywords to break into the Middle East countries and let open the door of Arab Spring with of course our due and full respect to the original democracy, clean freedom and the legitimate Amnesty International.
