Description
Several thousand people march in Istanbul on the call of trade unions to denounce the rise of poverty in the country and to demand an increase of the minimum wage. Turkey is suffering a currency calamity because the lira hit record lows against the dollar, losing nearly 30 percent in value in the last month alone. The annual inflation surged over 20 percent, decimating the Turks' purchasing power. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
