#2 I'm glad to see it -- hopefully there will be lots more of the same ongoing, until the secularists regain control of their country. The current trend under the Islamists is not a good thing.

#3 Obviously some sort of ploy....or...too little, too late.

Contrarian, these are secular Turks who oppose an Islamic state. That said, all this indicates is that their collective survival reflexes are still operational. What really needs to be seen is 12,000 moderate Muslims on a march against radical Islam. From all indications, they sleep with the crickets.

#5 I welcome it as a start. Now let's see it start permeating their talk, behavior, and actions.

#6 Hint. You don't cure cancer by marching.

This follows warnings by the Turkish generals that they will not allow sharia to be made the law of the land.

Signals are being sent.

#7 Good start.

That's about 0.017 % of the population there.
