24th Anniversary of Sivas Massacre in Ankara

A flag is seen during a march to the 24th anniversary of the Sivas massacre in Ankara on July 02, 2017. In 1993, 35 people were killed after a mob's arson attack to the Otel Madimak, where an Alevi group had assembled in Turkey's Sivas. The attack took place not long after Muslims' traditional Friday prayers, when the mob broke through police barricades to surround the hotel, where artists, writers and musicians had gathered to celebrate the life of 16th-century poet Pir Sultan Abdal.
