ISTANBUL
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality planted about 25 trees and flowers to make arrangements in destroyed parts of Taksim Gezi Park.
Tents were removed and banners were taken down. The municipality has been continuously doing works in the park since Sunday.
Lighting columns were also renewed in the park.
Protests began on May 28 against a redevelopment plan in Istanbul's central Taksim Gezi Park but spiralled into nationwide anti-government protests following police intervention.
