The "Great Istanbul Demonstration Against Occupation, NATO and Bush" in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul, Turkey, concluded without incident.

20,000 people reportedly turned out to voice their displeasure of US President George W. Bush, who arrived in Istanbul for this week's NATO Summit. Members of communist parties from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Bulgaria, Norway, Portugal, Holland and Greece demonstrated along side the Turks. Nearly 40 protestors from Syria and Jordan also joined in the protest.

The demonstration was organized by the Global Peace and Justice Coalition, the Revolutionary Workers Syndicates Confederation (DISK), Turk-Is, Hak-Is, KESK and the Turkish Engineers' and Architects' Association (TMMOB)
