1. [Live update from Independent](https://www.indyturk.com/node/758788/siyaset/chp-i%CC%87zmirde-millet-i%CC%87radesine-sahip-%C3%A7%C4%B1k%C4%B1yor%C2%A0mitingi-d%C3%BCzenliyor) (in Turkish)

2. Fingers crossed for you Turkey, although I don’t have high hopes, sadly

3. I just came back from Antalya region in Turkey. Who is the man I kept seeing in the buildings? Is someone that wants to be president? In the airport there was a big sign with that man, Erdogan and the Turkish flag.

   Thank you!

4. Where in Europe is Izmir?

5. It’s a bit disingenuous to say they’ve gathered against the Erdogan regime. [It’s a national holiday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commemoration_of_Atat%C3%BCrk,_Youth_and_Sports_Day). Many would’ve gathered even if nothing was going wrong and CHP was organizing a standard rally.

   But the crowd size is probably due to the spirit of protest. Plus, probably no person present in the image supports Erdogan, and all of them would vote for the opposition.

6. Turkey is not Europe.

7. Oh I was wondering what had happened with the Imamoglu protests, havent heard about it on the news lately

8. looks like monza if ferrari wins

9. That is soooo many people

10. Go Turkey 🇹🇷!

11. Keep the fight, good people of 🇹🇷 Türkiye!

12. At this point it’s very clear that Erdogan won’t go away voluntarily, so why people in Turkey won’t just march into whatever palace he’s residing and get rid of him forcefullly?

13. holy shit, they really got going. thats a lot of protestors

14. Few 100 thousand gathered in Hague too (center of Europe)… But that’s no news for this thread

15. good luck people!
