Spokesperson for the United States Department of State Jen Psaki stated Friday that the US were concerned about the number of people who were injured when police dispersed protesters in Istanbul's Taksim Gezi Park.
"Well, we are concerned about the number of people who were injured when police dispersed protesters in Istanbul's Gezi Park. We believe that Turkey's long-term stability, security and prosperity is best guaranteed by upholding the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly and association, which is what it seems these individuals were doing," Psaki said in a daily press briefing.
"It's hard for me to offer that given we're still gathering details of what's happening on the ground. We certainly support universally peaceful protest, as we would in this case," Psaki said
