Kurdish Protesters Riot in Southeastern Turkey
Following the Deaths of Nine Kurdish Guerilla Fighters Earlier This Week
This video, provided by ITN, an international news website, portrays Kurdish rioters fighting with police in the streets of the Turkish province of Van. The riot was sparked after a meeting of the Kurdish Peace and Democratic Party condemned the deaths of the nine guerilla fighters earlier this week, Monday, September 6, 2010. The deaths came after a skirmish broke out between the Turkish security forces and the Kurdish guerillas, despite the PKK agreeing to a ceasefire in August. This recent conflict between Kurds and Turkish forces has reinforced the reality of tension within the state of Turkey and among the Kurdish people.
