protest damage in Fethiye today

[kayakebab]

From a friend.....
They're running riot down my street, stones,bricks and batons. I went to save my car and drive it away but my neighbours told me to go inside away from the tear gas. I'm staying in the house, but it's a madhouse outside!  It started by them throwing a bomb in the patisserie because they are Kurdish - it's a racist attack for sure!  I bloody shaking and don't think this is going to be over tonight

That sounds awful. Do hope your friend is okay. Glad they didn't go outside.

Come on Fethiye. You're better than this.

What's scary is how quickly something can escalate. Not sure if the link above will work, but it's a video showing all the protestors outside Oz Izmir patisserie, so many police and a Toma.
Let's hope it's resolved peacefully and is over soon.

What's a Toma?

And the link doesn't work, I'm afraid.

Thought that might be the case, link works for me, but I'm on the posters friends list.

Omg really hope your friend and everyone else in Tasyaka is ok and it all ends soon :(the video also said unavailable to me...

A Toma is a large water cannon vehicle... Big white things that have been all over the news in Istanbul, Ankara , Antalya and Izmir recently. I was naive enough to think Fethiye didnt have any!

Checked Google and a Toma is one of those horrible water cannon vehicles.

Friends in Deliktas saying it is very noisy but apart from the young men out on the streets, everyone else is being quite calm.

Just hope there are no casualties and testosterone gives way to common sense.
