ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he's asked a small delegation of protesters to convince hundreds of others occupying an Istanbul park to withdraw, hopefully by the end of the day.
Turkish activists leading a sit-in were considering a promise Friday by Erdogan to let the courts ? and a potential referendum ? decide the fate of an Istanbul park development project that has sparked Turkey's biggest protests in decades. The pledge was made during last-ditch negotiations after Erdogan had issued what he called a "final warning" to protesters.
Erdogan told party members that the protesters in the park had "stayed long enough."
Erdogan said he had told the protest representatives: "Go and speak to them ... Don't let us be forced into reverting to different measures."
