	In the first times the people wanted to save this last green area and make their voices. So many people from around the country joined that voices and they become huge group. After a while the problem was not the plans for the park. It has turned something else. In addition to peacefully people, there were some groups that had opportunity from this kaos for attacking the government. There was vandalism and they met the attack of police. They were so many anger, demolition and fights. Police and protesters were attacking to each other everyday. Anger was caused not just by the destruction of the park. There were some problems with government. The government was unwilling to listen the people what they want.The protests continued a few months but it has not finished.
