13th June, 2013, Ankara: On Thursday, Turkey Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a final warning to protesters who occupied a park in Istanbul. He told them to leave or they would be forced out. Local media reported that the Prime Minister told that the government would no longer wait and see.

After the meeting, a spokesperson stated that the government might consider a referendum on the project. It added that the whether to preserve the park or to go ahead with the program could be decided by the voters in Istanbul or people live near Gezi Park.
