Erdogan mobilizes mass rally as Gezi clashes spread in Istanbul
In Istanbul, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan drew hundreds of thousands to a protest rally while police used water cannons and tear gas against demonstrators in renewed clashes. Authorities warned that entering Taksim Square or Gezi Park would be treated as terrorism as protests expanded to at least 16 locations. Erdogan defended his park clearance decision as a duty and accused Western media and the European Parliament of misrepresentation. He pledged to keep 500 of 600 Gezi trees and to build a cultural center instead of a shopping mall.
