Thousands march in solidarity with victims of bomb massacre at Ankara peace rally

THOUSANDS of people marched through London yesterday in solidarity with the victims of Saturday’s bombings in the Turkish capital Ankara.

Activist Peter Tatchell was along those showing their support for London’s Kurdish community.

Responsibility for the two explosions which took the lives of 128 people is still to be ascertained, but many in the march accused the Turkish state of abetting the massacre.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has claimed that Kurdish rebels and Islamic State (Isis) militants were prime suspects.

The bombs hit the Turkish capital’s main railway station as hundreds of opposition supporters and Kurdish activists gathered for a peace rally.

Sunday’s solidarity protest started at Downing Street and spread across central London, making a stop by the BBC offices.
