President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a stern warning for any Turkish citizens preparing to protest against his government, as anger rises over soaring inflation and opposition parties step up their criticism of economic policy.

 

 

“Supposedly they’ll take to the streets without any shame,” he said. “Wherever you take to, this nation will teach you a lesson just like it gave a lesson to those who took to the streets on July 15.”

Back then, government supporters battled a section of the military attempting to overthrow Erdogan, with clashes killing more than 250 people.
