Kurds clash with police in southeast Turkey
Clashes break out in a mainly Kurdish city in southeast Turkey after preliminary results show that the ruling party appears to have clawed back its majority in a crucial parliamentary election.
Kurds set fire to garbage cans and throw stones at police in Diyarbakir in isolated clashes. Police use water cannons to disperse the crowds.
Preliminary results showed that the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, had won just below 50 percent of the vote, which would restore its ruling majority.
The vote is a re-run of a June election, in which AKP surprisingly lost its one-party rule due to a strong showing by a Kurdish party.
