The HDP premises in several Turkish cities have been ransacked by protesters in the wake of Saturday's terrorist attack in the city of Kayseri, blamed by the authorities on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
"Our offices in different districts of Istanbul, as well as Ankara, Erzincan, Kocaeli, Canakkale and many other cities were attacked this night. Officials were ignoring our calls and this shows who has encouraged the attackers. Those who did not take action provided an opportunity for provocations," the HDP statement said.
At least 13 soldiers were reportedly killed, while 55 were injured when an explosive-laden car blasted in Kayseri near a military bus, which was carrying soldiers.
On Monday, the Turkish law enforcers detained 118 HDP members following the December 10 attack in Istanbul carried out by the Kurdish radical group Kurdistan Freedom Falcons.
