Turkiye: Workers to demonstrate in Ankara Jan. 7
Unionized workers to protest at Ministry of Treasury and Finance in Ankara, Turkiye, from 13:00 Jan. 7. Heightened security likely.
Public sector workers affiliated with the Confederation of Civil Servants' Unions (MEMUR-SEN) plan to protest at the Ministry of Treasury and Finance on Ismet Inonu Boulevard in Ankara from 13:00 Jan. 7. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand increased salaries. Large crowds may attend the gathering.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy nearby to facilitate the gathering. The presence of protesters and police will probably disrupt vehicular transport in the area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
