Protests Enter Second Week Across Turkey Amid Tensions
Police in Ankara used tear gas and water cannons as thousands demonstrated near government buildings, part of Turkey’s largest anti-government wave in decades. The protests, sparked by a police crackdown on Gezi Park, have left three dead and thousands injured, drawing in diverse groups including football fans from Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas. Erdogan’s government rejects early elections and defends his leadership amid charges of increasing authoritarianism.
