STORYLINE
Police in Istanbul has battled hundreds of supporters of a pro-Kurdish party who chanted slogans praising separatist Kurdish rebels during a protest denouncing Turkey's recent incursion into Iraq.
Riot police wearing gas masks used water cannons and tear gas to disperse some four-hundred members of the Democratic Society Party, which is frequently accused of links to the rebels of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
The protesters called for an end to military operations against the PKK and praised the rebel group.
Turkey ended a more than a week-long offensive against the PKK in northern Iraq on Friday.
The PKK is regarded a terrorist group by the United States and the EU.
The rebels are fighting for autonomy in predominantly Kurdish southeastern Turkey and have carried out attacks on Turkish targets from bases in the semiautonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
The conflict, which started in 1984, has claimed as many as 40-thousand lives.
