  1. Son günlerde yasanan parlemanto disi sivil itaatsizlik hareketidir. Son on yildir iktidar, cogunlugun oy vermeyen azinliga karsi tahakkumu seklinde icraatlarda bulunmustur.Büyük kitlelerin kisilik haklari,onuru kirilmis,hakaretlere ugramistir.

Bir sonra muhtemelen ekonomik istekle sokaga cikacaktir.
