The Dogan news agency says police used tear gas and water cannons on Thursday to disperse stone-throwing protesters demonstrating near the city’s main square.
Dogan agency video footage showed some demonstrators smashing glass panels at a bus stop and others throwing stones at a police vehicle.
There was no immediate information on injuries or arrests.
An official says Turkish warplanes aiming for suspected Kurdish rebels hiding in Iraq killed 35 people, but most are believed to be young cigarette smugglers.
No apology from Turkey??
It’s good to see Erdogan feeling some heat finally. He prances about the world claiming the moral high ground while persistently denouncing Israel for acting in self defense. Bet you he is running from the cameras now.
