Turkish opposition leader calls for weekly rallies and deeper economic boycott

Ozgur Ozel expanded call to boycott companies perceived as close to President Recep Tayyip Erdoan

Turkey's anti-government protesters are weighing their options, amid calls by the main opposition leader for weekly rallies, a growing economic boycott and a groundswell of fired-up student demonstrators determined to stay on the streets.

The leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), Ozgur Ozel, expanded a call to boycott goods and services from companies perceived as close to the president, Recep Tayyip Erdoan, during a rally in support of the jailed Istanbul mayor, Ekrem mamolu.
