Armenian-populated districts of Istanbul attacked

The situation was tense in the Armenian-populated districts of Istanbul this night, reports quoting its sources in Turkey.

Turkish nationalist groups attacked Istanbul’s Sisli, Kurtuluş and Besiktas neighborhoods.

“We must turn these districts into Armenian and Kurdish cemeteries,” the nationalists were chanting.

According to the source, the violence is a consequence of the recent clashes between the Turkish army and the Kurdish Worker’s Party (PKK).
