Turks Turn Out to Support Egyptians

"Small turnouts reported in marches against Jordan government; Egyptian revolt echoed by protests in other nations" by Dale Gavlak, Associated Press / February 5, 2011

AMMAN, Jordan —  Several thousand worshipers rallied outside a mosque in Istanbul, in solidarity with the Egyptian protesters. “No to dictatorship,’’ read a huge banner hanging from a wall of the Beyazit mosque.

In the Turkish capital, Ankara, dozens of protesters marched toward Egypt’s Embassy. One of the speakers, Mehmet Pamak, head of the pro-Islamic Scientific and Cultural Research Foundation, branded Mubarak a puppet of Israel. Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel.

That's why they are trying so hard to save him.
