Turkish police clash with protestors against policy on Syria
May 20, 2013
Turkish police battled protestors in Istanbul and the Syrian border town of Reyhanli over the weekend, as violence broke out at demonstrations against the government's policy towards its civil-war stricken neighbour.
On May 17, police in Istanbul fired tear gas and water cannon at dozens protesting last week's twin car bomb attacks that killed 52 people in Reyhanli, as well as Ankara's heavy support of the Syrian militants engaged in a drawn out fight with President Assad's government forces. The scuffles broke out as police blocked an attempt to march through the city.
