ANKARA (Reuters) - Up to 2,000 demonstrators waving Islamic flags and chanting anti-U.S. slogans took to the streets in Turkey's two biggest cities on Friday to protest at the bloody security crackdown in Egypt on supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi.
In the capital Ankara, around 1,000 protesters marched from the largest mosque after Friday prayers to the U.S. embassy, where the crowd, angered by Washington's failure to call Mursi's ouster a coup, chanted "Murderer America, get out of Turkey".
