Anti-U.S. protest held in Ankara

An anti-U.S. demonstration has been held outside the Turkish Prime Minister’s office in Ankara to protest against the official visit of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

On Friday, police fired tear gas to disperse the protesters, who were trying to break through a security cordon around Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s office in the capital, the Associated Press reported.

The demonstrators were holding banners reading “Kerry get out” and condemned the “imperialist powers” for waging wars against countries.
