As the US-UK attack in Iraq faces unexpected civil resistance and
slows down, the US is again asking support from Turkey for an
Northern Iraqi Front. Colin Powell, visiting Ankara for related
talks, was protested in many locations, despite his travel route
being changed repeatedly due to security reasons. ODP members
chanted slogans against the attack and threw red paint on
Powell's way. University students protested Powell in front of
the Foreign Ministry. TKP members protested in front of the
Presidental Residence. Prime Ministry reporters protested Powell
by turning their backs to him. Ankara Anti-War Platform members
gathering in nearby Guven Park tried to march to the Prime
Ministry. Many demonstrators were detained in all protests.
Powell's visit was protested also in Istanbul, Izmir and other
cities.
