STORYLINE
Police in Ankara clashed with protesters for the third consecutive night on Sunday into Monday, even as Turkey's prime minister demanded an end on Sunday to the 10-day anti-government protests that have spread across the country, saying those who do not respect the government will pay.
Police in riot gear fired tear gas and used water cannons to disperse protesters assembled in Ankara's J.F. Kennedy Street on Sunday, home to the U.S. Embassy.
At least one protester was hit with batons and kicked by police trying to break up the protest.
Earlier, demonstrators set up makeshift barricades on a busy Ankara street in an attempt to cordon off the area to police and passers by.
Turkey's capital has seen sometimes violent clashes between protesters and police since widespread anti-government demonstrations erupted ten days ago.
In Istanbul, a crowd of an estimated 2,000 people in the Sultangazi neighbourhhod defied the prime minister's call to end the protests and threw stones and firecrackers at law enforcement who retaliated with water cannons.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his patience was running out with the protesters, who have occupied Istanbul's main Taksim Square for more than a week and have held hundreds of demonstrations in dozens of cities across the country.
Raising the stakes for those opposing him on Turkish streets and squares, Erdogan said he plans to bring out his supporters for rallies in Ankara and Istanbul next weekend.
Erdogan's increasingly fiery tone could inflame tensions, with tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the country's largest city, Istanbul, and thousands in the capital, Ankara, remaining on the streets.
On two occasions, including one in the southern city of Adana on Saturday night, clashes have been reported between Erdogan supporters and protesters.
Anti-Erdogan protests have been held in 78 cities across the country since May 31, sparked by a violent police crackdown on a peaceful protest objecting to the redevelopment of Taksim Square and its Gezi Park.
They have since morphed into a general denunciation of what many see as Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian ways after a decade in power, and as an attempt to impose his conservative, religious mores in a country governed by secular laws.
The protests have attracted a diverse crowd from all social backgrounds and age groups.
Three people have died, including a police officer in Adana who fell into an underpass under construction while chasing demonstrators.
