Protesters wait for the start of a demonstration in Ankara April 15, 2008. Consensus is rare in Turkey, but no one seems to like the IMF. With the country due to end its loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund on Saturday, a view is building that after 19 standby agreements since 1961, it is time Turkey cut the ties and stood on its own economic feet. Banner on left reads "Serve to people not to IMF" banner on right reads "AKP (Turkey's ruling party) and the social security laws are the ones sentencing our children to the hunger" Picture taken April 15, 2008.
