AFP. 16 March 2003. Hundreds protest US unloading equipment at Turkish
port.

ISKENDERUN -- Chanting "Yankees go home!" and "The Middle East will be
your grave!" hundreds of Turks took to the streets Sunday in the
Mediterranean port of Iskenderun to protest against US personnel
unloading equipment for possible war against Iraq.

Between 300 and 400 demonstrators gathered near hundreds of parked
American military vehicles and burned a US flag with a Nazi swastika
symbol adorning it.

"This port is Turkish territory but it's being invaded by the
Americans," said one speaker.

A ship loaded with military vehicles docked here late Saturday and a
convoy of 100 vehicles left Sunday in the direction of southeastern
Turkey, towards the border with Iraq.

Members of the opposition in Turkey's parliament say the deployments are
directly linked to possible war against Iraq.

The volume, nature and destination of the equipment leaves a lot of
questions open, with several dozen vehicles including jeeps, gasoline
tankers, articulated vehicles, ambulances and bulldozers on transporters
heading off daily in the direction of the Iraqi frontier.
