Sounds pretty tame. At the anti-Erdogan demonstrations I seem to recall many more arrests and injuries and that was with Erdogan bringing over a small army to protect him from the TC protesters.

Apart from the Turkey/PKK and Gay Rights protest marches in the occupied areas, there was another protest which halil overlooked to tell us about. There was a protest against a promotion of women's veiling started in schools in occupied Famagusta:

The issue was reported during a demonstration organised by the Turkish Cypriot Primary School Teachers' Trade Union (KTOS) and the Turkish Cypriot Secondary School Teachers' Trade Union (KTOEOS). The trade unions gathered yesterday in front of the self-styled ministry of education, protesting for labour problems faced by their members at schools in occupied Cyprus.

Speaking during the protest Sener Elcil, the chairman of KTOS stated that during the last days pencil cases, rulers, pens and pencil sharpeners which have pictures of veiled women started to be distributed by unknown persons to children who study in schools at occupied Famagusta.

Elcil stated that besides this, some guardians of a nursery school in Famagusta demanded girls to be educated separately from boys. The incident created big reaction by the teachers who stated that there is obscurantism danger at schools.

In addition, Turkish Cypriot daily Gunes (21.10.11) reports that the distribution of books, which came from Turkey, started in elementary schools in the occupied areas of Cyprus. The books were obtained by the Youth Service Department of the Youth and Sport Ministry of Turkey and were distributed to schools by Gencay Eroglu, director of the self-styled youth department. The books refer to stories of Nasrettin Hoca, Turkish Scientists, Liberation Epic and Canakalle (Dardanelles) Epic Books.
