Anti-NATO protests have erupted across Ankara as world leaders arrive for the 2026 NATO Summit. Led by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) and other left-wing organizations, demonstrators accuse NATO of promoting militarism and foreign intervention while calling for Turkey to distance itself from the alliance. Turkish authorities have responded with a major security crackdown, detaining more than 100 protesters, imposing demonstration bans, and deploying heavy police presence across the capital. The operation has also sparked criticism from opposition politicians, who argue that the government is using the summit to justify sweeping security measures. As NATO leaders discuss security challenges, defense cooperation, and the future of the alliance, protests outside the summit venue have highlighted growing political divisions inside Turkey over NATO's role and the government's response.
