L.I.S.A. - A Turkish Spring?

What is going on in Turkey? Are protests in Turkey a sign of the

comparable to those on Egypt’s Tahrir Square? Is it justified to
describe the protests in Turkey as the beginning of a Turkish
spring? We asked this and more questions Dr Edhem Eldem, a Turkish
historian of the Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. There he teaches
at the Department of History, School of Arts and Sciences. His
research interests are the Social and Economic History of the Late
Ottoman Empire, Intellectual Biographies and the History of
