Scores in Turkey protest Syria attacks

Scores of people have gathered outside the Russian consulate in Istanbul to protest attacks on the rebel-held suburb of eastern Ghouta in Syria's capital.

 

The group, including prominent Syrian opposition figures, on Thursday chanted Syrian songs and slogans denouncing a Syrian government forces' bombing campaign that has targeted hospitals, apartment blocks and other civilian sites.

 

Hundreds of people have been killed or wounded in the campaign in recent days.

 

The protesters chanted: "Russia get out of Syria" and "Iran get out of Syria" in Turkish and Arabic.

 

Former Syrian opposition leader George Sabra and former Syrian cosmonaut Mohammed Faris took part in the demonstration.
