Anti-war Turks burn US flags after Friday prayers 

-A large anti-war demonstration organized by trade
unions and civic groups is scheduled to be held in
Ankara Saturday morning, just hours before the vote.




ISTANBUL, Feb 28 (AFP) - Turkish protesters burned US
flags and urged the government not to back the United
States against Iraq during a demonstration here which
followed the Friday prayers, the media reported.

About 3,000 people gathered in Istanbul's Beyazit
square, home to a historic mosque, to protest the
United States stance and Ankara's intention to open
its territory for possible US attack on neighboring
Iraq.

"We will not be US soldiers" the protestors chanted as
police in armored vehicles kept watch.

One placard called for a "global intifada against US
hegemony."

The demonstrators called on Turkish legislators to
reject a government motion calling for the deployment
of US forces in the country.

A large anti-war demonstration organized by trade
unions and civic groups is scheduled to be held in
Ankara Saturday morning, just hours before the vote.
