“Police attacked again -with plastic bullets and tear gas bombs- the demonstrators who went to protest against PM Erdogan at the opening ceremony of XVII. Mediterranean Games, where Erdogan made the opening speech in Mersin,Turkey.
The main government channel “TRT 1″ announced days ago that all the tickets were already sold out. Nevertheless today, we see that many seats -nearly half of the stadium- are empty, despite people wanting to buy tickets outside. Now, people think that “someone” had purchased most of the tickets to prevent a possible protest.”
