Youth Protests and Political Turmoil in Turkey

This chapter examines the recent youth-led protests in Turkey against President Erdogan's regime, focusing on the aspirational and disillusioned sentiments of young people.

The discourse captures the intertwining factors of localized protest dynamics, societal divisions, and the impact of governmental suppression on the aspirations of a generation seeking change.
