Turkish riot police use tear gas to disperse activists from the Gezi Park in Istanbul, Turkey, late 16 June 2013. Turkish riot police are firing water cannons and tear gas at protesters in Istanbul's Gezi Park, witnesses said on Saturday, hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed to remove them from the disputed public space by force. Protesters had earlier vowed to continue occupying the park, despite having reached a deal with the government on plans to redevelop it. Photo by AYKUT AKICI/TURKPIX
