Hundreds of anti-government protesters scuffle with police in Istanbul and Ankara as the unrest in Turkey enters its fifth day. READ MORE
Police in Istanbul managed to disperse protesters from the Dolmabahce tunnel area in the city's Besiktas neighbourhood, close to the Prime Minister Reccep Tayip Erdogan's office.
Meanwhile in Ankara, police continued to fire tear gas canisters at protesters as the unrest showed no signs of subsiding.
At least one police officer was injured in the skirmishes.
Turkey has been rocked by violent demonstrations since Friday, when police launched a predawn raid against protesters taking part in a peaceful sit-in against plans to uproot trees in Istanbul's main Taksim Square.
Since then, the demonstrations have spiralled into Turkey's biggest anti-government disturbances in years, and are seen as a display of frustration with Erdogan, whom critics say has become increasingly authoritarian.
