A girl holds a placard reading "Count, how many we are!", referring to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's comment on a previous rally in Ankara, as they walk past the city headquarters of ruling AK Party during 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 banners on the AK Party building at right show Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan (L) and his party's presidential candidate Abdullah Gul.
