In Turkey, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc apologizes for a crackdown on demonstrators protesting plans to raze Gezi Park in Istanbul. (Demonstrators had called for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to apologize for the police action that had left over 1,5000 hospitalized.) Arinc’s statement said in part, “I apologize for the police aggression against our citizens.”
