Turkey Threatens Army Intervention

ANKARA [MENL] -- Turkey, unable to halt anti-government protests, has
threatened to deploy the army to restore order.
Officials said the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has
examined the feasibility of deploying Turkey's huge army, the second largest
in NATO, to quell nationwide protests. They said Turkish police, despite the
arrest of thousands, have failed to stop the demonstrations, comprised
mostly of young people.
