Erdogan calls Turkey protests ‘evil’ as unrest continues for sixth night

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed opposition parties for provoking a “movement of violence” as protests in the country continued for a sixth night.
Unrest began in Istanbul last Wednesday when the city’s mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, Erdogan’s main presidential rival, was detained on corruption charges.
Imamoglu said the allegations against him were politically motivated, a claim denied by Erdogan.
Turkey’s main opposition party, the Republican People’s Party’s (CHP), said the demonstrations will end on Tuesday, without saying what the next steps would be.
Earlier, Erdogan had labelled the demonstrations “evil” and blamed the opposition for “disturbing the peace of our citizens with provocations”.
