Turkey's chief of staff has praised the demonstration held by thousands of Turks following the killing of a senior judge by an Islamist gunman.
General Hilmi Ozkok said the protests against Islamic militancy were admirable and urged compatriots to keep up their defence of the secular state.
The murdered judge was from the top administrative court, which has upheld state curbs on the Muslim headscarf.
Many of those at the funeral shouted insults at ministers attending.
