Turks commemorated the Armenian Genocide
The Turks' major event dedicated to the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide was held in the Taxim Square in central Istanbul. The action was called "This pain is everyone's pain" and had a turnout of nearly 200 people who were there to pay tribute to the victims.
According to "Hetq"'s correspondent in Istanbul, numerous police officers were on guard since members of the "People's Liberation Party", which is a follower of Marxism-Leninism, were holding a different picket a couple of meters away with signs reading anti-Armenian slogans and pictures of Kemal and Lenin. There were no incidents reported.
Actions also took place in Ankara, Izmir, Diarbekir and Bodrum.
