Riot police in Turkey have used water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters in Taksim Square in Istanbul in renewed unrest after days of relative calm.
Crowds had again turned out in force despite a heavy police presence, ending a lull of several days in the wave of protest that has swept the country.
Hours earlier Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had rallied his own supporters in a seaside resort.
Mr Erdogan told a crowd of about 15,000 in the Black Sea city of Samsun that the protests were led by an international conspiracy.
A small protest that began in May over plans to redevelop an Istanbul park grew into nationwide anti-government unrest after police used what activists said were heavy-handed tactics.
Thousands gathered in Taksim Square on Saturday to once again call for Mr Erdogan's resignation.
Riot police pushed the crowd out of the square, and deployed water cannon to remove stragglers.
TV images showed protesters putting up little resistance and the BBC reports there appeared to be little violence.
By nightfall, hundreds of protesters continued to mill around on the edges of Taksim Square, with riot police occupying the central area.
Activists argue that Mr Erdogan has become increasingly authoritarian, but the prime minister points to Turkey's impressive economic performance since he became leader and the large majorities he has won in three elections.
