In addition to large, celebratory gatherings to honor the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye this weekend, the possibility of other large demonstrations remains.
Large gatherings may result in enhanced police presence, road closures, and traffic disruptions. Any gathering, even those intended to be peaceful, could escalate.
