"To those who want to continue with these incidents, I say 'It's over.' Be warned, we will not tolerate it anymore," Erdogan said in Ankara as the massive police operation unfolded in Istanbul. Throughout the protests, Erdogan has struck a defiant tone, vowing to press ahead with the Taksim redevelopment plans, dismissing the protesters as extremists and the protests as undemocratic plots to topple his government, which was elected with 50 percent support in 2011. He insisted again on Tuesday that the protests were part of a conspiracy against his government. "A systematic project to tarnish Turkey's image has been put in place. It has been put in place with the collaboration of inside and outside forces," Erdogan said. The protesters, he said "are being used by some financial institutions, the interest rate lobby and media groups to (harm) Turkey's economy and (scare away) investments." Erdogan has called for major pro-government rallies to be held in Ankara and Istanbul this weekend. The unrest - which has spread to 78 cities across Turkey - has been inspired in part by what some see as Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian style of governing and his perceived attempts to impose a religious and conservative lifestyle in a country with secular laws. Erdogan, a devout Muslim, says he is committed to Turkey's secular laws and denies charges of autocracy. After the police raid on Taksim Square, bulldozers immediately began dismantling some of the barricades and makeshift shelters. By afternoon, the clashes had extended to the very edge of Gezi Park, with acrid gear gas covering its sides, even though the authorities had promised not to go into the park. Three people have so far died - two protesters and a policeman - and more than 5,000 have been treated for injuries or the effects of tear gas since the protests began. The government says 600 police officers have also been injured.
