Protests continue in Turkey

Taksim Square was largely cleared of protesters Wednesday, with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan taking harsh action against the demonstrations that have created the biggest crisis in his 10 years in power. Speaking Thursday to a gathering of Turkish mayors in Ankara, Erdogan told “environmentalist” protesters to “get out of there. Leave us head-to-head with those terrorist organizations so that we can clear Gezi Park and give it to its owners.”
