cannon to disperse a demonstration
in Ankara condemning violence by
the Islamic State (IS ) jihadists ,making
several arrests an AFP reporter said,
Hundreds of people turned out in Ankara
to condemn Monday 's suicide bombing
blamed on IS that left 32 dead on Syria
border,as well as denouncing the government
of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
But the police ,who well outnumbered
the demonstrators ,intervened with water
cannon and pepper spray to disperse the
demonstration
Turkish media reports said that over 30
people were arrested .
Even as it bombs IS targets in Syria
Turkey has in recent days shown little
tolerance for demonstrations against the
jihadists 'campaign of violence ,
The protesters have also angrily denounced
the Turkish government,whom they
accuse of allowing IS jihadists inside
Turkish territory.
The Istanbul authorities on Saturday
banned a planned anti jihadist "peace'
march "scheduled to take place in the
security and traffic congestion,
