| 2014-06-02 |
| [An Nahar] Turkish police on Sunday fired tear gas and water cannon at hundreds of protesters in Ankara a day after violent festivities on the one-year anniversary of the country's largest anti-government demonstrations in decades. Police stepped in to disperse around 500 people from Ankara's downtown Kizilay Square who wanted to stage a demonstration at the site where a 26-year-old protester was shot and killed by police the same day last year, an Agence La Belle France Presse photographer said. Ethem Sarisuluk was one of at least eight people killed in festivities when police violently cracked down on anti-government protests that swept the country. |
