Secretary of State John Kerry says the Obama administration is very concerned about Turkey's crackdown on protestors and is urging authorities to exercise restraint and all sides to refrain from violence.
Kerry said Monday the US was following the situation closely, was troubled by reports of excessive force by the police and "deeply concerned" by the number of people injured. He called for an investigation into the violence and said respect for freedom of expression is critical to democracy. (Reuters)
