Summary Hundreds of students tried to march to Foreign Ministry in protest of govt's policies on Syria.
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkish police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse hundreds of university students who tried to march to the Foreign Ministry in protest of the government s policies on Syria.
Wednesday s protest comes days after two powerful car bombings in a town near Turkey s border with Syria killed 51 people. The government blamed the attacks on a group linked to Syria.
Many accuse the government of putting the country at risk by openly supporting Syria s armed insurgency.
Hundreds of students from three universities in the capital, Ankara, tried to march to the ministry building but were pushed back by police.
Bianet, a human rights advocacy group, said about 30 students were detained and at least two students were injured.
