Ankara - MENA
At least 38 people have been killed in clashes involving Kurdish protesters in Turkey, reports say.
The protesters are pressing for Turkish action to counter attacks by Daesh militants on Kobane, a border town between Syria and Turkey.
Riot police used tear gas and water cannon in a number of towns and cities as the disturbances spread across the country, including Ankara and Istanbul, according to the BBC.
Curfews have now been imposed in several cities in south-eastern Turkey with large Kurdish populations.
