Azerbaijani Turks of Iran peacefully protest against discriminative environmental, ethnic-cultural and economic policy of Iranian regime. August 27, 2011 -- In protest to diversion of many rivers that feed one of the largest salty lake in the world, Lake Orumieh in north western Iran residents of the city of Orumieh poured to the streets of the city despite the heavy presence of security and anti-riot forces on Saturday afternoon. The security forces have cracked down on peaceful protesters and used tear gas to disperse them resulting in the injury of many protesters. This latest protest in the city of Urmia started following a rejection of proposed legislation by the Iranian parliament that would transfer urgent waters into the Lake Urmia to save a great lake from disappearing due to damming and development. The long popular lake, home to migrating flamingos, pelicans and gulls, has shrunken by 60 percent and could disappear entirely in just a few years, a Washington Post report in May confirmed; experts say drained by drought, misguided irrigation policies, development and the damming of rivers that feed it. Drying of Lake Urmia also sparked large protest on Friday April 2, 2010, security agents attacked environmental activists who gathered at Lake Urmia to demonstrate against the drying of the lake caused by neglect from authorities. صحنه هایی از درگیری مردم با پليس ضد شورش در تظاهرات اورمیه تو این فیلم نکته جالب اینه که جوانی که دقایقی قبل توسط موتوری ها زخمی شده به <b>...</b>
