Ti protesti "predstavljali su znak solidarnosti među radničkim sindikatima (uz izuzetak Kamu-sena, konzervativnog sindikata), drugim nevladinim organizacijama, različitim organima političkih stranaka, pa čak i grupama navijača sportskih klubova; a nisu predstavljali protestni marš protiv vlade," napisao je Hatipoglu u intervjuu za SETimes putem elektronske pošte.
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.
