World press on Turkey-EU relations and protest campaign in Turkey (June 9, 2013)
9 June 2013 - 8:23pm
Hurriyet Daily News published an article by Nurat Yetkin headlined 'Erdoğan’s Taksim challenge.'
"Something rare happened on June 7," the article begins. "Erdoğan was to address the “Turkey-EU relations: Expectations for future” symposium in Istanbul, which was going to be his first planned public address on the Taksim protests after returning Turkey from his four-day North Africa trip; well if you do not count the early morning speech at the airport in which he was welcomed by more than 10,000 supporters and called for an end to the protests. Stefan Füle, the European Commission’s enlargement commissioner, was going to be there, who had already talked to the representatives of the Taksim protestors by then and observed the iconic square by then."
