Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan called on protesters to withdraw from central Istanbul's Gezi Park on Tuesday and said a wave of anti-government demonstrations was part of a deliberate attempt to damage Turkey's image and economy. "I invite them to withdraw from the park and I ask this as prime minister," Erdogan told a parliamentary group meeting of his AK Party. "The Turkish economy has been targeted through these events ... Efforts to distort Turkey's image have been put in place as part of a systematic plan." http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/73711.aspx
