Turkish war veterans carry the portraits of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern Turkey, as they attend a rally to oppose the government's presidential candidate in Istanbul April 29, 2007. Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul refused on Sunday to withdraw from Turkey's presidential vote, ignoring pressure from the army and calls from tens of thousands of demonstrators worried about his Islamist past. The words on the picture of Ataturk at right read "He will live forever."
