TURKISH trade unions called a two-day general strike yesterday in protest at Saturday’s Ankara peace-march bombing.
Thousands demonstrated in the capital, blaming the government for the massacre, as funerals were held for many victims.
The strike by the four unions that organised Saturday’s protest will end today.
“To protest against the fascist massacre and to commemorate the death of our friends, we are now in mourning for three days,” the unions said in a joint statement.
