Protests are still going on in Istanbul\\\'s Taksim square and other provinces throughout the country. Protesters are calling for the resignation of the Turkish Prime Minister Raccipp Tayipp Erdogan, They accuse him of being a dictator and believe he does whatever he pleases without any checks and balances or public approval. Sunday night, Turkey saw some of the worst clashes since the protests erupted, as police and demonstrators went head to head in Bashtakash area of Istanbul. Protesters were trying to barricade an office belonging to Erdogan. Police have used large pieces of cement to block off the streets leading to Taksim Square. But protesters are working together to tear down police barricades.
