Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said three protesters and one police officer have been killed in nearly two weeks of nationwide unrest against his Islamic-rooted government.
"Three youngsters and one policeman have lost their lives in the events," the premier told lawmakers in televised remarks. Turkey's national doctors' union has so far put the toll at three dead.
He said that he had "no more tolerance" for the mass anti-government demonstrations that have engulfed the country, as police clashed with demonstrators in Istanbul on a 12th day of unrest.
"This episode is now over. We won't show any more tolerance," the premier told lawmakers of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
