Turkish PM rails at 'plot' behind Istanbul protest

SINCAN, Turkey (AP) ? Turkey's prime minister is lashing out at protesters behind a two-week sit-in at an Istanbul park in a boisterous speech to tens of thousands of his supporters.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan tells supporters from his Justice and Development party that they represented the "silent masses" ? while inveighing against those behind a "plot" against his government.

Erdogan has previously said that Saturday's rally and another planned Sunday in Istanbul were not designed as "an alternative" to the demonstrations at Istanbul's Gezi Park, but part of early campaigning for local elections next March.

Earlier Saturday, park protesters vowed to press on with their sit-in, defying government appeals and a warning from Erdogan for an end to the standoff.
