repubblica.it - 16 giugno 2013 - Dopo il blitz della polizia alle nove di sera che ha evacuato i dimostranti nel parco, da molte zone della città gli oppositori di Erdogan hanno cominciato a confluire verso Piazza Taksim, dove gli agenti in tenuta antisommossa hanno faticato a contenere la folla. Spari per aria, clacson, urla, molta confusione. Barricate sono state erette dopo il blitz su uno dei viali di accesso. E molte persone sono arrivate dalla costa asiatica attraverso il ponte sul Bosforo. Una raffica di denunce sono partite sulle reti sociali contro la brutalità della polizia nell’assalto al parco. Su Twitter sono state diffuse numerose foto di feriti, almeno 29, anche bambini di 5 o 6 anni colpiti sembra da pallottole di gomma. «Chiediamo a chiunque si ritenga un essere umano di venire a fermare questa violenza», ha scritto @taksimsldrty. Secondo vari testimoni la polizia, entrando in Gezi Park, ha distrutto in primo luogo l’infermeria, accanendosi sui medici. La polizia ha anche lanciato gas lacrimogeni più volte in un grande albergo di Taksim, il Divan Hotel, nel quale si erano rifugiate numerose famiglie e diversi dimostranti in fuga. Il Divan Hotel dall’inizio delle proteste era considerato un rifugio sicuro. Fra gli ospiti dell’albergo ieri sera c’era la presidente del Partito dei Verdi tedeschi Claudia Roth. Chiunque entri a Piazza Taksim, ha detto il ministro per l’Europa, Egemen Bagis, sarà «trattato dalla polizia come un terrorista». Il leader dell’opposizione Kemal Kilicdaroglu, a capo del partito socialdemocratico, ha replicato che «Erdogan vuole uccidere la Turchia a causa della sua mentalità da dittatore e della sua ambizione personale. Obbedire agli ordini di un primo ministro che non esita a trascinare in guerra il popolo costituisce un crimine, secondo le norme internazionali ».
Hurriyetdailynews - June/15/2013 - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has given protesters until tomorrow to evacuate Istanbul’s Gezi Park, adding that the security forces will intervene if they do not leave the site. “Tomorrow we have a rally in Istanbul. I address the protesters at Taksim.

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com Police intervene at Istanbul's Taksim Square, enter Gezi Park Police intervened once again in Istanbul's Taksim Square using tear gas and water cannons to quell the protesters an hour after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ultimatum to evacuate the Gezi Park before tomorrow. Ambulances were seen entering the park following the intervention. Police have also entered the park for the first time after two weeks. Security forces took over the park, demolishing the tents of the protesters. Dozers worked to clear the remaining barricades around the park. Protesters had started a few hours earlier to remove the barricades standing at the entrance of the park following hours of discussion on their next move. The police have also cordoned off the Taksim Square. The İstiklal Street ascending the Taksim Square is filled with a large crowd with water cannon trucks waiting at the Taksim entrance. A tiny barricade was removed by the police. A separate group and police clashed in Harbiye side of the park. Police encircle Divan hotel Ambulances have also started picking injured people up from Divan hotel at the Harbiye entrance of the park, which has been used by the protesters as a health center from the beginning of the protests. Protesters sang the national anthem in a bid to prevent police attack on the hotel. Amnesty International’s Turkey Director Murat Çekiç said that police tried to break the doors of the Divan Hotel. Injured people tried to reach the upper floors, he added. A few minutes after, live footage showed police encircling the building and throwing tear gas inside the doors of the hotel. The Istanbul Governor’s office said 44 people were injured and none were in severe conditions. However social media users have reported that many injured were attended by doctors and volunteers all around the Taksim Square. Police also fired tear gas against the volunteer doctors, the general secretary of the Turkish Medical Chamber Ali Çerkezoğlu said via Twitter. “Turkey will live its darkest night if this attack lasts for more than one hour,” he also said in a televised interview. The riot police stationed in front of the Atatürk Cultural Center made announcements before the intervention asking protesters to disperse from the park. There was a vast crowd, including kids and elderly people in the park, only minutes before the police raid.
