The leader of Turkey's main opposition party was attacked at a soldier'...
ISTANBUL - The leader of Turkey’s main opposition party was attacked at a soldier’s funeral in Ankara before security guards led him away, in the latest fallout from contested local elections three weeks ago.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, whose AK Party wants the election results annulled in Istanbul, had repeatedly warned during last month’s campaign that PKK members were among the CHP’s list of candidates. Kilicdaroglu edged through the crowd to a nearby house, outside of which a crowd chanted “PKK out,” according to broadcaster NTV. More than an hour later he was driven away in an armoured vehicle by police officers.
“The incident is under control... Investigations started,” said Suleyman Soylu, Turkey’s interior minister. Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul, also of the ruling AK Party, said: “We will not allow any kind of violence to cast a shadow on democratic politics.”Initial results and a series of recounts showed that the CHP’s mayoral candidates in Ankara and Istanbul defeated those from the AK Party , painful losses for Erdogan.
The PKK has waged an insurgency for autonomy in Turkey’s largely Kurdish southeast since 1984, and is deemed a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
