ISTANBUL, Feb 2 ― President Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday lashed out at Turkey's LGBT movement, accusing it of “vandalism” following an outbreak of student protests. Four people were arrested over the weekend for depicting Islam's holiest site with pictures of the LGBT rainbow flag during a rally at Istanbul's Bogazici University.
