Turkiye: Activists to conduct protest march in Ankara Dec. 15
Activists to march from Cankaya Municipality building to Parliament Park in Ankara, Turkiye, from 12:00 Dec. 15. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to demonstrate in central Ankara on Dec. 15. Participants intend to gather at the Cankaya Municipality building on Ziya Gokalp Caddesi at 12:00 before marching to Parliament Park (Meclis Parki). The demonstration will demand higher salaries and improved working conditions for workers. It was unclear how many participants would attend or what route the demonstrators would use.
Police will likely deploy along the march route to facilitate the demonstration. The procession will likely disrupt vehicular travel, and low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
