Rival student groups clash over Charlie Hebdo in Ankara University
MEHMET ÇELIK
Turkish police have intervened in the clashes between rival student
groups in Ankara University on Monday afternoon.
A group commemorating the Charlie Hebdo attacks and the eight
anniversary of the death of Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink
clashed with another student group that was delivering a statement
against the commemorations.
The pro and anti-Charlie Hebdo groups clashed with each other at the
campus, using sticks, throwing stones and empty glass bottles. The
police intervened by using pepper spray to disperse the groups.
Today is the eight anniversary of the death of the Turkish Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink, who was murdered in 2007.
A large group held a ceremony in front of the Agos Daily, where Dink
worked as an editor-in-chief, located Istanbul's Å?iÅ?li district.
Police have taken extra measures to avoid any unrest in areas where
groups are expected to hold commemorations.
