土耳其总理雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安在伊斯坦布尔再次要求塔克西姆广场和加子公园的示威者结束占领。随后,土耳其警方在长时间施压后,驱逐了抗议者。安保人员迅速使用了水枪和催泪瓦斯。突然的驱逐后,成千上万人走上街头,在首都安卡拉挥舞着土耳其国旗,并高呼“独裁者辞职”。更多报导来自在安卡拉的克里斯·莫里斯。
It's interesting the police have clashed in this way before with protesters but this time it seems they've gone in with massive force. One Turkish journalist I know, who's said he'd never seen so much teargas used in a single moment in the city. In the picture I'm watching at the moment here in Ankara showed that there are now armies of people clearing up. The tent camp which developed in Gazi Park next to Taksim Square and most the people who've been protesting there from the last two weeks clearly been pushed back by what need to be described as a show of overwhelming force.
警方以这种方式与示威者发生冲突很有趣,但是不同的是这一次他们似乎投入了大量的警力。我认识的意味土耳其的记者说他从来没有见过该城市在一次行动中使用如此多的催泪瓦斯。我此刻在安卡拉看到的画面是,有大批人员正在清理现场。塔克西姆广场旁边的加子公园里的帐篷已被撤走,在过去两周中抗议的大多数人也被此次强大的警力驱逐了。
