He mea whakamatautau pea te whakatau mai i ngā whakaaturanga i Taksim Square me Gezi Park e whakahē ana te whenua katoa ki te Pirimia o Turkey, ki a Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Ka kaha ake taua whakaaro i te pō ina tū ngā tāngata o ngā rohe tata ki ō rātou matapihi ki te patupatu i ā rātou kohua me ā rātou paraharaha hei tautoko i ngā whakahē. Engari i tawhiti atu i te tapawhā me te pāka, he tirohanga kē atu anō kei reira.
He rite tonu te tawhiti o Uskudar ki te haerenga waka i te Bosphorus. Mai i te takutai Āhia o Istanbul, he tawhiti rawa ngā whakaaturanga. Kāore he porotēhi nui i Uskudar. I te taha o te tauranga waka, ka pakaruhia e ngā kaiwhakakanapa hū ā rātou tūnga parahi hei kukume i ngā kaihoko.
I roto i te tekau tau kua pahure ake nei, kua whakahoutia tēnei rohe e te pirimia. Kei te whakahoutia e tana kāwanatanga tētahi whare karakia. Kei te hangaia hoki he kauhanga hei hono i te metro ki tēnei taha o te Bosphorus. Kāore i tawhiti atu i konei, e whakaaro ana a Mr Erdogan kia whakahoutia anōtia me te tumanako ka tū ngā Kēmu Orimipia o te tau 2020.
I te mākete o Uskudar, he kaitautoko, he kaiwhakahē hoki te pirimia. I waho i tētahi whare ika, he tokoiti noa iho e huihui ana ki te kōrero.
Pānuihia tonutia te kōrero matua.
"Kāore he tangata i konei e kī ana kei raro i te morearea te tūranga o te pirimia – engari mō te wā tuatahi, ko tōna heke mai hei kaiārahi mō Turkey te kaupapa o te tautohetohe tuwhera"
"Kāore he tangata e kore e hē," te kī a tētahi tangata e mahi ana i te umanga tūruhi. "He pai ētahi kaupapa here a Erdogan, he kino hoki ētahi. 90% o āna mahi he pai mō te whenua. He hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, he hunga e kino ana ki a ia. Kaua te iwi e tahu i ngā waka pirihimana, e whiu kōhatu rānei."
"Ko Erdogan anake te kaiārahi kei reira," te tohe a tētahi atu tangata. "Ko ia te kaiārahi nui rawa atu o te ao i muri i a [te kaiwhakaū o Turkey] a Ataturk. Kāore ngā pirihimana e whakaeke i te tangata mena kāore rātou e mahi i tetahi mea. He aha te mahi a ngā pirihimana? Hei tiaki i te tangata."
Ka kite te kaumātua i te kōrero, ka hikoi tika atu ki te whakamārama i tana whakaaro.
"He kaitukino a Tayyip Erdogan, ā, kua hoha ahau ki a ia," Kāore ia e aro ki tō tātou kaiwhakaū, ki a Ataturk, ki te repupirikana rānei. Kua ngana ia ki te whakakore i tō tātou tuakiri repupirikana. Kua hoha te marea ki a ia. Kua hoha rātou. Kāore a Tayyip i te pai mō tēnei whenua."
I tukua ia e ētahi kia kōrero. Kāore ngā whakaaro rerekē i roto i a Uskudar i whakaoho i ngā whakahē, i ngā ngangau rānei. Kāore he tangata i konei e kī ana kei te mōrearea te tūranga o te pirimia. Engari mō te wā tuatahi, ko tōna heke mai hei kaiārahi mō Turkey te kaupapa o te tautohetohe tuwhera.
