A convoy of cars carrying Turkey’s main opposition party leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu was attacked while travelling through Turkey’s north-eastern province of Artvin on Thursday.
The head of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) escaped unharmed, as he remained in his car for safety reasons, while bodyguards responded with fire.
Interior Minister Efkan Ala claimed that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was responsible for the incident. However, according to one of Kilicdaroglu’s advisors, clashes had already broken out in the area, with the CHP leader reportedly not being the target of gunfire.
