The Armenian MP of the Turkish parliament, Garo Paylan, tweeted on the violence inflicted on Kurdish MPs who took part in the protests in Diyarbakir.

During the protests against the removal of the Kurdish mayors of Van, Mardin, and Diyarbakir, the police used disproportionate force against citizens and deputies, he said adding that police beat deputies elected by the people and this is state terrorism.

As reported earlier, Kurdish cities of Turkey - Van, Diyarbakir, and Mardin - are protesting against the decision of the state to remove Kurdish mayors from their posts.
