Tens of thousands of people waving red Turkish flags fill the main square of the Black Sea city of Samsun May 20, 2007. The rally, the latest in a series of protests, was billed by organisers as a way of uniting the divided opposition against the government which they accuse of trying to undermine the secular state in overwhelmingly Muslim Turkey.
