As we noted earlier, political instability is spilling into social unrest:
- *TURKISH POLICE SEEK TO BREAK UP PROTEST IN ISTANBUL: NTV TV
- *TURKISH POLICE USE TEAR GAS, WATER CANNONS TO END PROTEST
The crowd was chanting "Thief Tayyip Erdogan" in reference to Turkey's graft-probe-implicated PM. And the nation's European cousins are "growing concerned" at events in Turkey, calling for "transparent, impartial justice."
