Erdogan: Clearing out protests was my 'duty' as PM

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday that it was his "duty" to "clean" the Taksim Square in Istanbul, after the police intervention on Saturday night against the last batch of demonstrators demanding his resignation.

 

"I said that we had reached the end. When things became unbearable. Yesterday, the operation was conducted and (Taksim Square and Gezi Park) have been cleaned. It was my duty as Prime Minister," he added. (AFP)
