Thousands of Kurds rallied in Diyarbakir City, southeastern Anatolia, Turkey, to celebrate Nawroz Anniversary. Demonstrators held green, red and yellow flags and chanted slogans in support of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).

Celebrations soon turned into clashes between demonstrators and security forces which used tear gas and water hoses on protesters.

Security forces arrested a number of people while other clashes erupted in southeastern Turkey as well.
