May-August 2013 protests that began as an environmental sit-in against redevelopment of Gezi Park in Istanbul's Taksim Square escalated into nationwide anti-government demonstrations with ~3.5 million participants across 79 of 81 provinces. Government response: heavy police use of tear gas and water cannon, 11 deaths, thousands injured, internet restrictions, mass prosecutions including the later Gezi trial (2022 life sentences against Osman Kavala and others). Marks a rhetorical and operational shift from EU-convergence policing to securitised assembly management and sustained media pressure.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
