STORYLINE
Turkish police on Sunday used water cannons to disperse a pro-Kurdish protest in Diyarbakir, a city in southeast Turkey.
The rally was organised by Democratic Society Party, the country's leading pro-Kurdish political party.
Helmeted riot police with shields advanced toward the crowd as demonstrators retreated down the streets of Diyarbakir.
The Democratic Society Party, which won 20 seats in parliament in July, recently called for autonomy for Kurds living in the Turkey's southeast.
The call came amid tension over how to deal with separatist Kurdish rebels, with the military preparing for a possible cross-border offensive against their bases in northern Iraq.
Turkish authorities reacted by taking steps to ban the party and expel several of its lawmakers from parliament on charges of separatism.
Turkish leaders have accused the Democratic Society Party of having ties to the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
Turkish leaders insist the party should declare the PKK a "terrorist organisation" to prove its allegiance to Turkey.
