Protesters walking, wearing surgical masks STORYLINE Clashes between anti government demonstrators and riot police continued well into the evening in Ankara's Kizilay Square on Wednesday. Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters after allowing demonstrations to continue for some eight hours. It was the sixth consecutive days of protests. Earlier in the day, activists on Wednesday presented a list of demands they said could end days of anti-government demonstrations that have engulfed Turkey. Demonstrators were ignited into action last Friday when police raided a peaceful sit-in to prevent the demolition of Istanbul's Gezi park. Events soon spiralled into demands for Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's resignation. Over five days, police have deployed water cannons and tear gas, clouding the country's city centres. The Ankara-based Human Rights Association says close to 1,000 people have been injured and more than 3,300 people have been detained.
