Thousands return to demonstrate at Istanbul’s Taksim Square

International

Thousands of people assembled in Istanbul’s Taksim Square on Saturday to protest against the country’s conservative leadership, prolonging a stand-off of more than three weeks.

Demonstrators displayed banners with slogans such as “Taksim is everywhere” or “Taksim solidarity, according to ” Voice of Russia.

Traffic was more or less at a standstill, but police had not engaged the demonstrators yet. However, water cannon were on standby.

Police have already cleared the square twice in recent weeks.

The protests began against a planned development project within the square, but have turned into broader complaints about the direction the regime of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken the country.
