Artists of Ankara, the capital of Turkey, protested Israel’s attacks against Lebanon in a demonstration in front of the Israeli Embassy.
The artists gathering in front of the Ankara Embassy of Israel opened their ink bottles and as a protest emptied them on the pavement and to the door. The crowd also opened a banner that read, “You will be defeated!” Artists chanted, “Down with Israel”, “Palestinians are not alone!” to the Israeli Embassy.
Poet Ahmet Telli, representing the artists, read a press release. He said Israel no longer had any morals. “The rulers of Israel have stopped hearing the cries from Lebanon, Palestine or from the rest of the world. We are here today to bring our pens and the memory behind our pens, our ink to leave here at the Israeli Embassy.”
The protesting artists left the banner at the embassy door and marched back through Ankara streets after the demonstration.
