"Turkey's Kurd initiative goes up in smoke
By Stephen Starr
ADANA, Turkey - Clashes continued for a fifth day in Turkey on Tuesday following a court decision to outlaw the main Kurdish political party, the Democratic Society Party (DTP). The violence, prompted by a string of events including the killing of Turkish soldiers last week, threatens to undo Ankara's recent efforts to rein in militant Kurdish elements and bring an end to over 25 years of troubles that have seen between 30,000 and 45,000 people killed."
