Turkey's main share index closed
10.47% down following investor concerns over the escalation of anti-government
protests over the weekend.
The Borsa Istanbul 100 share index
fell to 76,983.69 points as investors feared the demonstrations could hit the
economy.
Demonstrators nationwide clashed
with police after water cannons and tear gases were used to control crowds.
The protests were originally sparked
by plans to build on an Istanbul park.
As well as sharp falls in the stock
market, there was also a big rise in the cost of insuring.
