ISTANBUL - Riot police fired water cannon and tear gas to disperse several thousand protesters chanting 'thief Tayyip Erdogan' and 'government resign' in Istanbul on Tuesday as the fallout of a corruption scandal intensified. The protest in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul came after Erdogan accused political enemies of faking a recording of a phone conversation suggesting he had warned his son to hide large sums of money as the graft inquiry erupted.
