Fresh clashes between protesters, police in Istanbul

News reports of a return to street protests in cities in Turkey in September 2013, following social unrest in the earlier part of summer 2013.

Later reports discuss the establishment of a new political party (Gezi Party) in the autumn of 2013 to channel dissatisfaction into political power, but the hurdles to success were seen as high.
