4:56Now PlayingSean Hobbs, a journalist and editor of Istanbul Voices, who has been active in the Taksim Square protests in Istanbul, Turkey, says that the atmosphere in and around Taksim is festive and communal. "There is a passionate energy in Gezi Park right now," Hobbs said. "It's a wonderful place to be." To what extent are the nationwide protests a reaction to the Islamist policies of Prime Minister Erdogan? According to Sean, the answer is yes. "A good study would be a comparison of the Gulenist movement in Turkey and the evangelical Christians in the US." Some women are upset about lack of access to the morning after pill. Sean says he has seen kids drinking in public for the first time in years.
