In Istanbul, hundreds of young men and women gathered on İstiklal Avenue, one of the city's main streets, early Monday. The crowds, which clapped and whistled as they headed toward the city's main Taksim Square, were smaller than those seen over the weekend.
The recent unrest in Turkey broke out when trees were torn down at a park in Taksim as part of government plans to develop the area. The demonstrations have broadened into a show of defiance against the Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP).
