Turkey is a secular Republic -- these protests aimed at the AK Party and Islamism are from several years ago.

Millions of Turks have long made it plain that they are not ready to give in to Islamism, Sharia law, and burkas.. thank goodness. See images.

This is from several years ago also. ". . . 32 percent to 38 percent of Turks (upward of 25 million people) would never support the [Islamist] AKP or want to live in a country shaped solely by its values." In recent years Erdogan was living the Obama dream.. journalists, professors, active and retired military were being arrested. Erdogan will probably try to continue that.

The image on the banner is of Ataturk the founder of modern secular democratic constitutional Republic of Turkey. The photos are from demonstrations of a few years ago protesting the ruling AK Party's Islamist (political Islam & Sharia law) leanings and reminding the AKP that they promised the voters that they would respect Turkey's heritage of secularism.
