Following the response to the anti-government demonstrations,
critics at home and abroad are pointing to an increasingly
authoritarian style of political leadership in Turkey. Why have
protests erupted across the country like never before under the
ruling AK party? And did the initial crackdown by the security
forces actually strengthen the protesters? Zeinab Badawi is in
Ankara to speak to Turkey’s finance minister, Mehmet Simsek.
