    The Armenian Conference is protested by the nationalists and Labor
    party fans



    ISTANBUL (DIHA) - A group of protesters formed by the nationalists
    and fans of Labor Party came to the Bilgi University, where the
    postponed Armenian Conference is to be held, and protested those
    coming to the conference.

    The nationalist protesters gathered in front of the Dolapdere Campus
    of Bilgi University before the conference and shouted slogans such as
    'Either love or leave'. After a while another group of protesters
    holding Turkish flags and a placard saying 'The Armenian Genocide is
    an international conspiracy' joined to the former group. They
    frequently shouted slogans saying 'The government resign', 'Tayyip to
    America', 'We do not want to Soros in the universities' and 'Either
    liberty or death'.

    Giving a speech, the province chairman of Labor Party Erkan Önsel
    claimed that the aim of the conference if to divide the national
    state. He said the rectors of Bogazici, Sabanci and Bilgi
    Universities should immediately resign.

    On the other hand the protesters booed to the ex-deputy and ex-leader
    of SHP Erdal Inonu coming to the conference.

    The conference is expected to be launched in Bilgi University where
    there are dense security precautions while the tension is still on
    peak.
