This is what's happening now in turkey

The ruling party in Turkey has intimidated the free press and thrown them in jail. Additionally, those that own stations are strongly connected with the government and do not want to risk offending them.

It is on the news every night. Don't expect anything great to come out of these demostrations though. Even if Erdogan resigns, he will be replaced by another politician and most of them are no angels.

Non-sectarian protests against Islamic socialization. It's the opposite of most of the rebel activity in their southern neighbour Syria.

Turkey is candidate for membership in the EU now and a NATO member.

Erdogan is the favorite of traditional Muslims. Turkey's version of a "conservative."

This doesn't really appear to be an "Arab Spring" type of thing as Turkey has a functioning democratically elected government. 60% of the people are conservative Muslims 40% more secular and liberal religionists.

it is relevant in regards to what the OP wrote - that turkish media (and in this case CNN Turkey) was still showing penguins while the rest of the world was already reporting the demonstrations

Turkey has locked up more journalists than China and the rest is too afraid of the government to report anything negative.
