Istanbul set to mark Labor Day amid steps to prevent provocations

Türkiye is set to mark Labor and Solidarity Day in various cities, but the most-watched rally will definitely be the one in Istanbul, the country’s most populated city, which results in the closure of some roads amid security measures.

International Labor Day, also known as May Day, is marked by tens of thousands in rallies organized by labor unions, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and political parties in Istanbul every year.
