Turkiye: Activists to march in central Ankara from 10:00 May 19
Political activists to march from Guvenpark to Anitkabir in Ankara, Turkiye, from 10:00 May 19; increased security, disruptions likely.
Political activists from Turkiye's Republican People's Party's youth organization will march through central Ankara on May 19. Participants will gather at 10:00 in Guvenpark and march toward Anitkabir. Demonstrators will commemorate Turkiye's first president, Mustafa Kemal, and likely promote the party's political stance. Several thousand people are likely to participate.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the march; road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the affected area.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling through Ankara on May 19. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
