Violence in Mardin province

In the southeastern province of Mardin's Nusaybin district, a new election in the town of Girmeli was marked by violence. In March, DTP candidate Ömer Altun had won by 37 votes, but the former mayor Yusuf Turgay from the AKP had argued that voters had been pressurised and had demanded a new vote. In the new elections, there were fights with shotguns, stones and sticks between AKP and DTP supporters. Police tanks using water cannons dispersed the fighters, and the police also used tear gas. Three people were injured and 16 people were taken into custody. DTP MP Selahattin Demirtaş, who had gone to the area, said that the AKP candidate, who was a voluntary village guard, had shot into the air close to people. DTP candidate Altun won the new election with 581 votes. (TK/AG)
