TURKISH POLICE fired tear gas yesterday to prevent mourners laying carnations at the site of the previous day’s bomb attack on a peace march, which killed 128 people.
Police held back mourners, including pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) co-chairs Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag, insisting that detectives were still working at the site.
A group of about 70 mourners was eventually allowed to enter the cordoned-off area outside the capital’s main railway station before marching to a demonstration in the city centre.
