Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected the criticism of the opposition in an initial response to the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul. He said he did not have time for the “theater” of the opposition, which states that Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested because he was a great threat to Erdogan. On Thursday evening, the police deployed Rubberkogels and tear gas against the people who demonstrate against the arrest in Istanbul.
