3:16 pm
for icon stay silent and is quickly shaping up to become the vital cry or otherwise increasingly solid opposition to president event you do on. and from on the story i'm joined now by do reporter nicole d.c. welcome and the call as we said this video has caused quite a still in key tenets why and what makes it such a hit an explosive hit in edgewise sticky indeed an explosive hit want to phrase it like that because it addresses issues that haven't been talked about in public and turkey for quite some time we're talking about violence against women political corruption but also the destruction of the planet and the reason why these issues have been kind of been kept under the table for some time might be that in july 2016 when the president at one was almost ousted to by a coup attempt tens of thousands of people in the public sector such as teachers
3:17 pm
and also doctors lost their jobs and what human rights activists labeled as a sort of witch hunt against people who might have a different opinion of the president so there were also lots of journalists that have been detained once and again and again and that pretty much wiped out the public square and left social media as one of the sources that people could go to to talk about issues and this repost of pretty much taken this soap box and turned it into a ghetto blaster let's just have a quick listen. putting money in a car not on a luxury. good choices a lot of shit. that is really a little more sinister. so you see they're really not moving back they're really sticking to that title so some mom i can't stay silent ok now i'm sure you one is not amused by this video but what about the ordinary to challenge

3:19 pm
sides but pretty much wants to encourage people to speak up to start a conversation about these also global issues and then maybe try to find solutions to these issues so pull together and also see what can be a brighter future for turkey let's just quickly listen to what they're saying to. them which. shows that it was an example of the most of. the middle you. getting. from all of the. group. mark will. be. related to them of course. so you see they're really trying to pick up maybe long
