Government ministers, heads of political parties, trade unions and political activists, notably Islamists, joined together for the demonstration, which came amid days of similar protests across the world.
They chanted "Everyone against state piracy" and "Lift the embargo on Gaza", and also "thanked" Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has taken a tough stance against Israel after the raid.
Police said more than 35,000 people took part in the demonstration while organisers could not yet give the number of participants.
