Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday urged supporters of his Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) to use next year\'s local elections to \"teach a lesson\" to anti-government demonstrators whose protests have rocked the country for over a week. \"There are just seven months left until the local elections. I want you to teach them a first lesson through democratic means at the ballot box,\" Erdogan told a crowd of cheering loyalists after landing at the airport in the southern city of Adana.
