TURKEY The National Police had bought 150,000 tear gas cartridges in 2013 according to its annual plan. However, during the Gezi Park Protests which started in Istanbul on May 31 and spread to 77 provinces across Turkey, riot police used 130,000 cartridges. The amount of tear gas used over the period of 20 days was more than the amount used in 20 European countries in entire 2012.
