Then more than 100 anarchists gathered while drums and an accordion being played. They started marching with the slogan: “NATO is Murderers’, Istanbul is ours!”

They carried two banners with “IMAGINATION TO ACTION AGAINST NATO” and “ANARSISTANBUL ORGANIZATION AGAINST NATO” written on them.

If not Us, Then Who?”, “Imagination to Action Against NATO”, “Against NATO, Anarchy in Istanbul”, “Bread not Bombs”, “Against NATO, Action Revolution Anarchy”, “No to NATO’s Companies, Armies, Tortures, Slaughters”. ANARSISTANBUL’s activists didn’t forget university’s president and when they were in front of the presidency building they shouted: “Bosphorus University is the Fortress of USA, Smash, Smash, Anarchy!”

After marching, anarchists gathered in the square with slogans and read the press relase and burnt Bush puppet wearing a soldier uniform.
