Demonstrations against the U.S. war on Iraq continued on Saturday in various Turkish provinces.

Turkish Cihan News Agency said that a mass demonstration was held in the province of Eskisehir, west of Ankara, despite the heavy rains. Demonstrators carried banners condemning Iraq war.

In the city of Kares, members of the National Thought group started a campaign to collect signature on a petition as an expression of denunciation of injustice in Iraq and support to its people.

Barber said in a news conference Saturday that "Israel, the U.S., Britain and the other countries which are under Zionism influence brought nothing but wars and destruction to the world during last century."
