A Kurdish protester has been killed and at least eight others injured in clashes with Turkish security forces in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir.\n<\/p>\n
The clashes broke out on Friday between Turkish police and Kurdish demonstrators protesting the construction work to expand a military station in the town of Lice, situated about 691 kilometers (429 miles) east of the capital, Ankara.\n<\/p>\n
Police fired tear gas and used water cannon to disperse protesters who responded with Molotov cocktails, fireworks, and stones.\n<\/p>\n
The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.\n<\/p>\n
On January 9, Ankara and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) were reported to have reached an agreement on a peace roadmap to end nearly three decades of hostility.\n<\/p>\n
The PKK has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdish region since the 1980s. The conflict has left tens of thousands of people dead.\n<\/p>\n
