Al Jazeera: Turks hold pro-secular protest

More than 200,000 demonstrators have protested against Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s Islamic-leaning prime minister, becoming the country’s president.

Protesters in Ankara on Saturday called for the government to resign, chanting slogans including, “We don’t want an imam as president.”
