Turkish riot police fired tear gas and water cannons at hundreds of protesters on June 11 as they tried to take back control of a central Istanbul square at the heart of fierce antigovernment demonstrations. Speaking to lawmakers, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the protesters to withdraw from nearby Gezi Park and said the demonstrations are part of a deliberate attempt to damage Turkey's image and economy.
