The turkish flag everywhere

Since 4 days ago the turkish flag seems to be everywhere. First I thought it was because of some celebration date, but no, it's the result of a mass demonstration after an incindent that has been passing on the news every day now. The video shows 3 kids (about 13 yeas old) stepping on the turkish flag and dragging it throught the floor.
This resulted in many demonstrations through the country in order to manifest respect to the flag. I see the flag in many house windows, on mini-bus windows and on the corner of almost every tv channel!

So what are the explanations for such nationalist reaction? In what context were the kids doing it? It's difficult to understand it without more information. Nnn
