Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Albanians hold Turkish and Albanian flags during a rally to show support to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Tirana, on June 19, 2013. Turkey's crisis began when a sit-in to save Gezi's 600 trees from being razed in a redevelopment project prompted a brutal police response on May 31. The violence snowballed into countrywide demonstrations against what demonstrators say are Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian and conservative Islamic policies.
