Burning tires in Baglar district, Erdogan’s incoming route, and closing the ways to traffic with burning tires and petrol bombs, demonstrators chanted slogans “PKK is the nation, the nation is here”.
Demonstrations continue in neighbourhoods where a large number of armoured police vehicles keeps coming in.
Police found a hand-made bomb set-up in a plastic box. The box was taken to the Security Office for investigation.
On the other hand, people coming from Mardin and its districts to Diyarbakir for the meeting were blocked by a crowd which put up a barricade in Cinar.
Erdogan addressed a crowd consisting largely of members of Ensarioğlu Tribe and Hezbollah supporters in Diyarbakir.
He did not put a clear emphasis on the Kurdish problem and held up Selahattin Eyyubi as an example sending the message that “ethnical origin is not important”.
Forgetting about his statements of three week ago that “There is no Kurdish problem, my Kurdish brothers have problems”, Erdogan remarked that the CHP (Republican People’s Party) denies the existence of the Kurdish problem.
Erdogan assessed the civil disobedience actions promoted by the BDP as “civil fascism”.
