6:36Now PlayingTurkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed opposition parties for provoking a "movement of violence" as protests in the country continued for a sixth night.
Unrest began in Istanbul last Wednesday when the city's Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu - Erdogan's main political rival - was detained on corruption charges.
Imamoglu said the allegations against him were politically motivated, a claim Erdogan has denied.
Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party's (CHP), which announced Imamoglu as its presidential candidate on Sunday, said the demonstrations will end on Tuesday, without saying what the next steps would be.
In figures released before Monday evening's gatherings, the Turkish government said 1,133 people had been arrested since the protests began.
