Clashes between Kurds and local nationalists in the Turkish city of Bursa turned into a real battle (photo).

According to Internethaber website, young people stopped a minibus with Kurdish driver. They argued and the driver was beaten. Thereafter, he left and came back with his friends who entered the café of Turkish nationalists and injured 5 people with a knife.

After numerous arrests the tension increased. People took to the streets and police started firing to disperse the crowd. As a result, 6 police cars were turned up and over 20 policemen injured. The crowd attacked the houses and shops owned by Kurds.

The highways leading to Bursa and Eskisehir from Inegol were blocked by Kurds to prevent the arrival of Turkish nationalists at the site.
