Young Turks perform a toast as they gather in a public garden to protest against the new alcohol regulations that came into force in Turkey last week, in Ankara, Turkey, late Saturday, Jan. 29, 2011. The new regulations have re ignited a debate about whether the country's Islamic-rooted government seeks to undermine liberal freedoms. The government defended the new measures on public health grounds as the opposition spokesmen claiming that an "oppressive mentality" was seeking to control Turkish society, saying that the government was targeting secular lifestyles.
