Soon after the speech, #Tamam (“Enough”) became a trending Twitter topic worldwide with over 1.5 million tweets posted by the end of that night. Social media has become the primary platform for opposition against the government in Turkey since mainstream media is almost completely controlled by the government. However, Erdo?an's statement did not only get reactions on social media. People came together in the streets with the slogan “Enough” in Istanbul. Police attacked several of these marches. The students of Middle East Technical University in Ankara also wrote “Tamam” (“Enough”) in Devrim (“Revolution”) Stadium.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV520-May-2018-" rel="directory">IV520 - May 2018</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Turkey-+" rel="tag">Turkey</a>
