Group stages anti-nuke protest at US Embassy
9 April 2010 / EBUBEKIR ATMACA, ANKARA
A group of five people who called themselves the “Peace Movement” carried out a demonstration in front of the US Embassy in Ankara yesterday to protest the US policy on nuclear weapons.
The group unfurled banners reading “No for nuclear, now or never” and held missile models in their hands, which they managed to leave in front of the embassy despite police efforts to prevent them from depositing anything on the premises.
Kıvılcım İlhan, the spokesperson of the group, made a statement to the press, saying if countries with nuclear power do not abide by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the validity of the treaty is in danger. He also called on the government to take action to return US tactical nuclear weapons deployed in Turkey. Turkey is estimated to be hosting 40 to 90 atomic weapons at its İncirlik Air Base.
