Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused anti-government protesters on Monday of walking "arm-in-arm with terrorism", remarks that could further inflame public anger after three days of some of the most violent riots in decades.Hundreds of police and protesters have been injured since Friday, when a demonstration to halt construction in a park in an Istanbul square grew into mass protests against a heavy-handed crackdown and what opponents call Erdogan's authoritarianism. Protests have been held in dozens of cities.
The demonstrations showed no sign of abating on Monday with protesters gathering again in Taksim Square. Barricades of rubble hindered traffic alongside the Bosphorus waterway and blocked entry into the area. Leftist groups hung out red and black flags and banners calling on Erdogan to resign and declaring: "Whatever happens, there is no going back."

Multiple reports now of a new round of tear gas used on protesters in Taksim Square. From a CNN correspondent in Istanbul:Psaki is asked about the cheeky Syrian warning to its citizens not to travel to Turkey, in reply to Turkey's past and recent warnings about the security situation in Syria.
"I would far rather be in Istanbul than Damascus," Psaki says. "They make their recommendations, we'll make ours."

Psaki, the state department spokeswoman, is back to Turkey. She reads the same statement Carney did, repeating that "the vast majority of the protesters have been peaceful, law-abiding, ordinary citizens exercising their rights."The Obama administration is concerned about the excessive use of force by police and is calling for a "full investigation" of the clashes.

PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan says four days of anti-government protests do not constitute a Turkish Spring.At a news conference before a trip to Morocco, he said the protests were organised by extremists and accused the opposition of provoking "his citizens".
The protests initially targeted plans to build on a treasured Istanbul park but have spread into nationwide unrest.
The first death in the unrest has been reported, with doctors saying a man was killed after being hit by a taxi.
The demonstrator, 20-year-old Mehmet Ayvalitas, died after the car ignored warnings to stop and ploughed into a crowd of protestors on Sunday in the Mayis district of Istanbul, said the Turkish Doctors' Union.
On Monday evening, thousands of demonstrators again gathered in Taksim Square, the focus of the recent protests.

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Turkey's four biggest cities and clashed with riot police firing tear gas for a third day in the fiercest anti-government demonstrations in years.For much of Sunday, the atmosphere in Istanbul's Taksim Square was festive, with some people chanting for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister, to resign and others dancing. There was little obvious police presence.
But in the nearby Besiktas neighbourhood, riot police fired tear gas and water cannons to keep crowds away from Erdogan's office in Dolmabahce Palace, a former Ottoman residence on the shores of the Bosphorus.

For a decade, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has had a tight grip on power. But it suddenly looks to be weakening. Thousands have taken to the streets across the country and the threats to Erdogan's rule are many. His reaction has revealed him to be hopelessly disconnected.The rooftops of Istanbul can be seen in the background and next to them is a gigantic image of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey's powerful prime minister is watching over the city -- and is also monitoring the work of the political party he controls. At least that seems to be the message of the image, which can be found in a conference room at the headquarters of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP).
