OSCOW (Sputnik) — Participants of the rally chant anti-government slogans, particularly against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Hurriyet newspaper said.
On Saturday, two deadly explosions occurred near Ankara's railway station ahead of an anti-war protest against a surge in violence amid Turkey-Kurdish conflict, injuring some 246 people.

Later that day, almost 10,000 Turkish citizens took to the streets of a number of cities, including Istanbul, Batman and Diyarbakir, to condemn the blasts in Ankara.
Some people carried banners reading "the state is a killer" and "we know the killers", blaming the Turkish government for the deadly attack.
