Today, about 70 anarchists from Istanbul, Ankara, Yalova and other cities (Eskisehir 
Anarsi Inisiyatifi, Ankara Anarsi Inisiyatifi, Istanbul Anarsi Inisiyatifi, and Devrimci 
Anarsist Faaliyet), gathered in Eskisehir in a commemoration action for their comrades 
(Alper Sapan, Evrim Deniz Erol, Medali Barutçu) who were killed by suicide bomb in Suruç 
(Pirsus) last week. When anarchist gathered and started to march, police suddenly attack 
and arrested about 15 anarchists. ---- It was the action of Anarchy Initiative which made 
an international call for solidarity action against Turkish fascist government. Also other 
groups, autonoms and individuals joined the action in Eskisehir. ---- Anarchists who 
gathered in front of Migros (Adalar) and started to march were attacked by police. And 
about 15 anarchist arrested. Other activists dispersed to the streets and cafes. Then, 
fascgist groups appeared in the streets to annoy the protestors. Some fascists applauded 
police who were arresting some anarchists.

Meanwhile, police tried to criminalize the protestors and anarchists by a bomb warning in 
the city center. Already they blokaded roads, they increased the security in the center. 
Then they exploded the package with fuze on the street.
