This was sparked because of the government appointing their own rector right? While I don't support the government's decision I also don't support the protesters.
LGBT, PKK and DHKC/C are a blessing for AKP. These groups taint any legitimate protest and effectively render the whole protest campaign futile.
It's a never ending cycle. AKP does something controversial >>> Protests start >>> LGBT/PKK/DHKC/etc join protests >>> General public decides not to join due to aforementioned groups >>> Protest dies, AKP wins
