Four people were injured and 176 others were detained Monday during a demonstration here by a left-wing organization against Turkey's bid to join the European Union, the Anatolia news agency reported. Riot police intervened against the demonstrators using tear gas after they tried to march to the city center after reading a press statement at a park in the Kurtulus district, the report said. Footage broadcast on NTV showed dozens of police and protestors pushing against each other while a number of demonstrators lay on the ground, holding each other, to resist detention. Four protestors and a police officer were injured in the scuffle, Anatolia said. "
