Soldiers march in eastern Turkish city a day after unrest 

 DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, July 28 (AFP) - 17h12 - Hundreds of soldiers marched through the mainly
 Kurdish city of Tunceli in eastern Turkey on Saturday in the wake of clashes between police
 and protestors which left 12 people injured, local sources said.

 "Everything is for the country, I would sacrifice my life for the country," chanted the soldiers as
 they walked through the centre of the city accompanied by armoured personnel carriers, the
 sources said.

 The march, which ended without incident, comes a day after eight police and four protestors
 were injured when some 1,500 people clashed with police during a local festival.

 The disturbance began when authorities refused to allow the chairman of the pro-Kurdish
 People's Democracy Party, Murat Bozlak, to deliver a speech on the grounds that it was not
 included in the festival program.

 Anger mounted over a banner hung in the stadium, the festival venue, which thanked the leader
 of the government's far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) for its contributions to the
 organization of the event.

 The MHP is the chief political opponent of Kurdish demands for cultural autonomy.

 Police intervened when angry protestors stoned the car of a local army commander and police
 vehicles.

 Security measures were boosted in Tunceli after Friday's clashes.
