ANKARA - Several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) held demonstrations in Ankara Thursday to protest U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's scheduled visit to Turkey on Friday.
Members of NGOs gathered in the Guvenpark in the city center with placards in their hands. They chanted slogans such as "Rice go home", "take your bloody hands off Turkey".
They threw darts at a target on which Rice's photograph was attached.
Later, protestors dispersed peacefully.
