The local governor had declined permission to allow the pro Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party to hold a rally, but they did so anyways.
Police came asking the crowds to leave, they refused and began throwing things at the police.
Things escalated when around fifty members of parliament attempted to join the demonstrators, but were blocked by police.
Water cannons and teargas were turned on the crowds, forcing many to disperse, but others began turning it into a riot.
In the midst of things, militants detonated a bomb, causing over a dozen police officers to suffer minor injuries.
