Clashes in Ankara

epa03728420 Turkish riot police use a water cannon to disperse protestors during a rally in support of demonstrations against the conservative government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul, in Ankara, Turkey, 02 June 2013. Turkey’s crackdown on opposition protesters that reports said left at least two dead and more than 1,000 injured was “truly disgraceful,” Amnesty International said 02 June, on a third day of the demonstrations. Demonstrations against the Islamic-conservative government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan began on 31 May when a police crackdown against a peaceful sit-in staged by environmentalists angered over a development project in Istanbul escalated into larger battles between law enforcement and demonstrators.
