demonstrations over the world, against imperialist occupation in Iraq, and militarization and
imperialist war. We think it is important, for us in Latin America, to put this together with opposition to the Free

the "economic ocupation". 10 a.m. Paulista Avenue.

In Turkey, simultaneous demonstrations will take place at 1 p.m.
on March 20 in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Adana and
Trabzon. No national demo
because local elections are taking place March 28. Activists in Turkey are building for a major protest at the
NATO Summit in Istanbul on June
27-28. It will be attended by George W Bush and the
other NATO heads of state and will
be referred to in the future either as the Istanbul Summit which marked the decision to initiate
NATOâ•˙s presence in the
Middle East or, alternatively, as the Summit which
failed. The Global Peace and Justice Coalition has started a campaign
against the Summit, under the general title ╲Bush, Do Not Come,
We-Do- Not-Want-You╡. We expose NATOâ•˙s role as a tool
of American hegemony. We are
planning to use the demonstrations on 20 March and then on Mayday
to link together the issues of the occupation of Iraq and the NATO
summit.
