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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
