Turkey’s Ticking Time Bomb
Renewned protests in Turkey last month are not the only signs of trouble for Erdoğan

Last month saw a resurgence of protests in a relatively quiet and well-to-do corner of Istanbul following the death of protester Ahmet Atakan in Antakya, a southern Turkish city, on September 9. The consequent clashes in the Kadıköy district in Anatolian Istanbul continued for almost a week and were every bit as violent as what took place last June.
