After Ankara and Istanbul, the opponents of Turkish PM Erdoghan’s
"Justice and Prosperity" party organized another rally in Izmir. Dozens
of thousands of people participated in the demonstration. Supporting
the republican forces of Turkey, Deniz Baykal, chairman of the People’s
Republican Party, and Zeqi Sezer, chairman of the Left Democratic
Party, were welcomed by the participants of the rally who called for
them to unite.

Despite the intentions of the dozens of thousands of the rally
participants, the party leaders didn’t even approach to each
other. According to "Milliet," the rally participants were greatly
disappointed by the fact. This was conditioned by the pre-time
parliamentary elections envisaged in Turkey on July 22. The matter
is, that the influence of the pro-Islamic "Justice and Prosperity"
party is quite big and it’s likely to win the elections. While the
victory will secure the another opportunity for Erdoghan to run for
the president in Turkey.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
