http://istanbul.indymedia.org As the US-UK attack in Iraq faces unexpected civil resistance and slows down, the US is again asking support from Turkey for an Northern Iraqi Front. Colin Powell, visiting Ankara for related talks, was protested in many locations, despite his travel route being changed repeatedly due to security reasons. ODP members chanted slogans against the attack and threw red paint on Powell's way. University students protested Powell in front of the Foreign Ministry. TKP members protested in front of the Presidental Residence. Prime Ministry reporters protested Powell by turning their backs to him. Ankara Anti-War Platform members gathering in nearby Guven Park tried to march to the Prime Ministry. Many demonstrators were detained in all protests. Powell's visit was protested also in Istanbul, Izmir and other cities.
