Turkey's Internal Affairs Minister Idris Naim Sahin - who had made an
anti-Armenian and xenophobia-inciting speech during the demonstration
which was held in downtown Istanbul on February 26 and under the name
of remembering the incidents in Khojaly - was thrown stones at by the
Kurds living in Turkey's Hakkari Province in the southeast.
After the Ramadan evening meal, Sahin, who had arrived in
Kurdish-populated Hakkari to observe Ramadan with the security forces,
tried to walk in Hakkari's central street, but he was met by a violent
protest, Hurriyet daily of Turkey informs.
Those who gathered began to whistle and throw stones at the Minister.
The panicking security forces started shooting in the air and use
watering vehicles and tear gas to disperse the protesters.
The Minister was made to enter a café, under strict security measures,
from where he was transferred to the Provincial Hall with armored
vehicles.
