Erdogan: The Turkish government will not tolerate violence and provocations in the country

The Turkish government will not tolerate violence and provocations in the country and will not depart from its economic plans. According to RIA Novosti, this was stated by the Turkish Prime Minister Teyip Erdogan.

"We will not tolerate the violence and provocative actions of individual groups in the country, the actions of which are aimed at undermining the country's economy. On the contrary, we will continue all the planned plans," Erdogan said at Istanbul airport upon arrival from an international tour of North Africa.

Commenting on the current tense situation in the country, he promised to "conduct a thorough investigation of the causes of clashes and the use of excessive force in the clash with the manifestants." Erdogan, however, added that from the current difficult situation in the country, "some groups want to get political benefits over the next year by parliamentary elections."

"The key to the successful development of Turkish society is not in polarization, but in the unity of the nation," said the Turkish prime minister. In this context, Erdogan urged participants in the protest actions "to leave Taxim Square", and to begin "together with the whole people to solve common problems."

On Friday morning, thousands of supporters of the prime minister arrived at the airport to meet and support the head of the Turkish office. According to the administration of the international airport, more than three thousand people came to it, supporting the "Party of Justice and Development", whose leader is Erdogan.

The unrest in Turkey began on May 31, after the police with the use of tear gas dispelled a sedentary strike on Taxim Square in Istanbul. Its participants protested against the plans of the authorities to destroy the Gezi Park located there and build a shopping and entertainment complex in its place. Protests quickly took on an anti -government character. As a result of the clashes of demonstrators with the police, three were killed and hundreds of people were injured, more than a thousand people were detained.
