Turkey's opposition party leader accused Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of escalating tensions and dragging the country "into the fire" as enduring anti-government protests that have led to three deaths entered their 11th day on Monday.
Hurriyet newspaper on Monday quoted Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of the opposition Republican People's Party, as calling on Erdogan to reduce tensions. "We are witnessing a prime minister who is trying to hold on to power by creating tensions. A policy that feeds on tension will drag society into the fire," he added. (AP)
