Turkish government apologizes amid ongoing protests in Turkey
Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinç apologized for the crackdown on environmental protesters in Ankara and Istanbul. He called the initial violence wrong and unjust, while police remained deployed with water cannons around the prime minister’s office as Erdogan visits North Africa. The protests, the largest in years, saw a youth death near the Syria border and mixed official accounts of the death. Interior Minister Muammer Güler defended police tear gas use in Parliament.
