2. What is Arap Spring?
• How did it emerge?
• Why did it emerge in Arab countries?
• What were the factors that made people
stand against their rulers?

3. • To make a short
definition: Arab spring is
a social movement that
emerged at the North
Africa and some Arap
countries due to anti-
democratic
circumstances.
• People took down their
leaders because of
their unfair governing.

4. Two Truths One Reality

defined as ‘’Struggle of freedom’’.
• Opponents of the arbitrary leaders defined
as ‘’Freedom warriors’’.

distribution demonstrated as the reason of
this conflict.

6. Power of the Social Media
• How did it begun?
• Arab rulers‘ secret assets
and government
applications had been
shown to society via
Internet - Wikileaks.
• WikiLeaks is an
international entity that
leaks government’s and
leaders’s secret
informations to the public
life.

7. • These information
displayed by
Wikileaks spread
quickly to some
segments of society
via Facebook and
Twitter.
• Protestors have
organized their
demonstrations
through social media.

8. What were the factors that made
people protesters?

9. • There was an economic crisis since 2008.
Unemployment increased and getting along
became difficult.
• Despite of these economical problems
leaders insisted on being disregardful about
their people’ needs and demands.

huge pressure on religious society.

precuations due to
citizens democratic
demands.

17. Second Truth: Imperialist Game
• Midde East is always
the geography of
struggle and blood
especially since the oil
had discovered.
• When imperialism
discovered the
importance of this
geography, they started
to make a lot of plan to
control this place.

18. • When we convince about
the role of the America and
Europe at the Arap Spring,
there are some
controversial issues.
• First of all, one of the
similarities of ex-leaders
was all they were in trouble
with America.
• USA and some of the
European countries even
made gun supervision to
opponents of the Arabian
rulers. Did they have
benefit?

19. • Let’s focus on
Hillary Clinton’s
saying about
Kaddafi: "We
came, we saw, he
died!“.
• An intervention on
the protest?
United States Secretary of State

20. Democracy
• When do the
Western powers
speak about
democracy and then
what happens?

21. • We saw this
example at the
invasion of Iraq.
USA invaded there
because of anti-
democratic
applications and
the risk of the
nuclear gun. Then
they apologized,
because there were
no any nuclear gun.

23. Will the Spring spread to other
countries?
• Some of the experts
arguing that rather
than occupation,
imperialists aim to
control Middle East
with Middle East’s
own people.
• The change of
leaders for good or
for worse?

24. Last Destination for now:Syria
• Syrian people that
have been influenced
by protests in
Libya,Egypt and
Tunisia
• This conflict became
civil war. It’s still
continuing now.

25. • At this bloody
struggle between
25.000-30.000
people has
died.Also lots of
people migrated to
borders of the
Turkey at the
North.
• Both sides are
getting supervision
from different
countries.
• It become war
game in the
Middle East.

26. Which Truth?
• People’s power • Power’s game on
people
