ISTANBUL - A group of Turkish lawyers from the Contemporary Lawyers Association (CHD) Istanbul Chapter protested Israel's military operations in Gaza, on Tuesday.
Speaking on behalf of the CHD in front of the Israeli Consulate General in Istanbul, Ebru Timtik stressed that they are protesting military operations conducted by Israel against Gaza residents. "Israel massacred thousands of Palestinians to date," Timtik said.
"Turkish people are on the side of the Palestinians. If the present government of Turkey is against the ongoing massacre of Palestinians, then it must cancel all commercial, political and military agreements with Israel," Timtik also said.
The group of lawyers dispersed peacefully after reading their press statement.
