THESSALONIKI, Greece: Riot police clashed briefly with demonstrators
outside the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki Tuesday, during a protest
over the mass killings of Armenians by Turks in the early 20th century.
Police said some 200 Greek Armenian protesters tried to break past a
police cordon outside the consulate building. No injuries or arrests
were reported.
Demonstrators chanted slogans and burnt a Turkish flag during the
protest, held to commemorate the massacre of up to 1.5 million
Armenians between 1915 and 1919 in what is now eastern Turkey.
