Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says police will remove "troublemakers" from Istanbul's Taksim Square within 24 hours.
The Thursday warning comes less than a day after Erdogan's Islamic-rooted party offered a plan to hold a referendum over a development plan near the square that has fanned two weeks of protests. Five people have died and more than 5,000 have been injured during the violence.
