Police fired tear gas and jets of water to disperse hundreds of demonstrators in Istanbul\'s Taksim Square, shortly after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned police would intervene to end protesters\' occupation of a park bordering the square. The crowd, which had been chanting: \"Everyhwere is Taksim, everywhere is resistance,\" was sent scrambling by the police, the latest escalation of tensions in more than two weeks of mass anti-government demos.
