ANKARA, Jan 9 (Reuters) - A Moldovan plane carrying around 30 Turkish workers from Turkey to Iraq disappeared from radar screens near Baghdad on Tuesday, a Turkish regional governor said.

"The Antonov-26 plane left Turkey this morning and left radar screens some 100 km (60 miles) away from Baghdad. It may have crashed or had difficulties trying to land," Cahit Kirac, governor of Adana province from where the plane left, told CNN Turk television.

Turkish children wrapped in national flags march in front of nationalist protesters carrying a banner that reads, "We all are Mustafa Kemal. We all are Turks" during a demonstration in Istanbul February 4, 2007. A group of nationalist protesters on Sunday demonstrated in reaction to banners that read "We all are Armenians" carried by those who attended the funeral ceremony of Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink last month. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the founder of modern Turkey.
