    DIYARBAKIR-AMED, Turkey’s Kurdish region,— Kurdish militants claimed responsibility on Tuesday for a car bombing on Turkish police and government offices in Turkey’s southeastern Kurdish city of Van a day earlier and said it was partly a response to the removal from office of two dozen mayors from Kurdish-run municipalities.
    The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) said in a released statement that at least 18 Turkish special policemen were killed in the attack.
    The claim of responsibility, on a website close to the PKK, said the attack in Van was a retaliation for the killing by security forces of Kurdish youths and the removal of the mayors “in disregard of the Kurdish people’s will.”

    Turkish officials said the blast, close to local government offices, wounded around 50 people, including four police officers and four Iranian citizens thought to have been visiting during the Muslim Eid holiday, .
    The bombing came a day after Turkey removed officially elected 24 Kurdish mayors deemed to support Kurdish militants and appointed new administrators in two dozen municipalities mostly in the largely Kurdish southeast.
    Since July 2015, Turkey initiated a controversial military campaign against the PKK in the country’s southeastern Kurdish region after Ankara ended a two-year ceasefire agreement. Since the beginning of the campaign, Ankara has imposed several round-the-clock curfews, preventing civilians from fleeing regions where the military operations are being conducted.
    Observers say the crackdown has taken a heavy toll on the Kurdish civilian population and accuse Turkey of using collective punishment against the minority.
    The PKK took up arms in 1984 against the Turkish state, which still denies the constitutional existence of Kurds, to push for greater autonomy for the Kurdish minority who make up around 22.5 million of the country’s 78-million population. A large Turkey’s Kurdish community openly sympathise with PKK rebels.
