Massive street protest

At least one million Turks took to the streets of the country's third largest city Izmir yesterday, stepping up pressure on the Islamist-rooted government with a rally to demand that their country remain a secular state.

Organizers hoped the protest, which they expected to attract 2 million people, would unite the opposition ahead of elections in July.
