The pro-government daily “Ethnos” published an article March 1 which alleged the complicity of U.S. diplomats in the arrest of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan. Ocalan’s arrest provoked demonstrations at embassies across Europe, some of which were violent.

Thus far Turkish, Greek and Israeli installations have been targeted. Follow local press reports for current updates.
