That's not new, and probably isn't related to mass unrest. My guess is it was related to some intelligence about PKK activity.
- pydry 4y agoMy guess would be if that was to fend off PKK attacks then the police batons and riot shields wouldnt have been brought along. Theyre not much use against bomb planters.
- tyingq 4y agoThe Turkish police typically raid and mass arrest people after some PKK activity happens (or is suspected to happen soon), even if there's no actual bombs going off. They arrive in riot gear to do the raids/arrests.
