AKIPRESS.COM - About 300 people rallied in front of the White House to protest development of uranium in the country.
Policemen were there to maintain public order. Historian Eleri Bitikchi said the protesters demand full ban on development of uranium, not just temporary moratorium.

The uranium tailings will be buried in the decommissioned tailing storage near the village of Marmara, Sokuluk district, according to the agreement.
