[quote:Anonymous Coward 40221886:MV8yMjQ5MjQxXzM4NDQyMzc2XzY1N0I0M0ND] MEPs are deeply concerned at the disproportionate and excessive use of force by Turkish police to break up peaceful and legitimate protests in Istanbul's Gezi Park. In a resolution voted by a show of hands on Thursday, they warn against the use of harsh measures against peaceful protesters and said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan must take a unifying and conciliatory position. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pressroom/content/20130607IPR11391/html/Unrest-in-Turkey-MEPs-call-for-reconciliation-and-warn-against-harsh-measures I don't recognize European Parliament decision, Turkish PM Erdoğan says http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/i-dont-recognize-european-parliament-decision-turkish-pm-erdogan-says.aspx?pageID=238&nID=48730&NewsCatID=338 Erdogan in 'final' protest warning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22889060 Erdogan gives ‘final warning’ to Turkey protesters http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/82755b36-d418-11e2-8639-00144feab7de.html#axzz2W5uqAV2j [/quote]
