march against dark ages and betrayal...

from today's toronto star, turkey split in bitter struggle:

At least 700,000 people marched against Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul's candidacy in Istanbul yesterday, waving the red national flag and invoking Turkey's long secular tradition. Powerful generals hinted they might step in to resolve the deadlock over Gul in parliament, which elects the president.
