Erdoğan's chilling warning: 'these protests will be over in 24 hours'

Erdoğan's chilling warning: 'these protests will be over in 24 hours'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...r-raises-fears

"Turkey's prime minister defied a growing wave of international criticism on Wednesday and issued a chilling warning to the protesters who have captured central Istanbul for a fortnight, declaring that the demonstrations against his rule would be over within 24 hours.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's ultimatum, which he said was conveyed to his police chief and interior minister, ratcheted up the tension in Turkey after a relatively calm day following the mass teargas attacks by riot police in Istanbul city centre on Tuesday evening.........................."

You folks new to the forum would have to go back a few years to catch up on what Erdoğan has been up to. It's been a slow tightening of the bolt over the years.
