The alawis, who recently have made statements with some demands in Turkey, held the first demonstration with 50,000 people’s participation ten days ago and attracted attention of media through this action. Their demands were connected to cultural rights, as it has been in the alawis’ other protest actions for the last years. However, this demonstration was of political character. The alawis, who as always, put forward demands jointly with the left forces of the country, were in opposition to the right forces. It is not surprising that the held demonstration ten days ago turned into a protest action against the ruling Justice and Development Party (JDP) of Turkey."
