The 2024 Gazi University protests were a protest for Palestine which had turned into a riot between Palestine supporters and Turkish nationalists at Gazi University in Ankara, Turkey.

Events

On Friday, May 3, 2024, a group of students at Gazi University prayed Friday prayers together and set up rallies as part of the 2024 pro-Palestinian university protests. Turkish and Palestinian flags were flown. Many professors and other students attended the rally, where speeches in Turkish, Arabic, and English were made. [1] A group of Turkish nationalists had also hosted a rally nearby commemorating Turkism Day. The Pro-Palestinians later began shouting slogans in Arabic, and takbirs, which provoked the Turkish nationalists into intruding the university and assaulting the students while shouting " how happy is the one who says I am a Turk". [2] [3] Security had to intervene and escort the Pro-Palestinians to safety inside the university. [4] Most of the attackers were described as Victory Party members and other Kemalists. [5] [3] Some MHP Grey Wolves and other Idealists were present, where they gave the university students a chance to stop the Arabic chanting, before joining the assaults after the students refused. [6] The attackers referred to themselves as "Turkists" and "nationalists", and did not specify any political affiliation. [7] After the attacks, members of the "Ankara Palestine Solidarity Platform" protested outside the university and demanded justice. [2]
