It seams the Turkish 'peace activists' group took offense to a multi-faith concert in Istanbul and forced its cancellation because one of the musicians was born in Israel.

P.s. the Turkish election is Sunday. The ruling party is expected to win again.

Interesting election rules.

The YSK has also banned the consumption and sale of alcoholic beverages on election day from 6 a.m. Sunday morning until 12 a.m. Monday morning. Additionally, weapons, explosives, knives and nuclear, radioactive, chemical and biological substances can only be carried by police officers and security personnel.
