The protests "marked a display of solidarity among labour unions (with the exception of Kamu-sen, a conservative union), other NGOs, various organs of political parties, and even groups of sports club supporters; rather than being a protest march against the government," Hatipoğlu wrote in an email interview for SETimes.
Prosvjedi su "predstavljali izražavanje solidarnosti između sindikata (s iznimkom Kamu-sena, konzervativnog sindikata), ostalih nevladinih udruga, različitih tijela političkih stranaka, pa čak i sportskih navijača; umjesto prosvjednog mimohoda protiv vlade", napisao je Hatipoğlu u intervjuu e-mailom za SETimes.
