"Nearly 10,000 workers protesting in Ankara on Thursday were pushed back with water cannons and pepper spray, a move the opposition said ran counter to the government's call for a peaceful response to demonstrators in Egypt. "

This proves AKP's hypocrisy once and for all. AKP promotes peace in Egypt but violence in Turkey! Whatever happened to Ataturk's "Peace at home, peace in the world"?

Oh, I forgot, AKP is not a big fan of Ataturk!
