ANKARA, June 18 (Reuters) - Police raided multiple addresses in several cities across Turkey on Tuesday, detaining dozens of people following more than two weeks of anti-government protests, local media reported.

State media TRT said 25 people had been detained in the capital Ankara, 13 in Eskisehir to the west, and "many" in Turkey's biggest city Istanbul.

Ankara's police anti-terror department said it had no information on the reports. (Writing by Jonathon Burch; Editing by Nick Tattersall)
