TURKEY’S opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) called for international solidarity today after another racist attack on Kurds left seven members of one family dead in Konya, central Anatolia.

The Dedeogullari family were shot dead and their home was torched a week after they had been set upon by 60 Turkish nationalists in a brutal attack in which they were told: “We will not let you live here.”

That attack came as Kurds described living in fear and the HDP warned the international community of a spike in racist attacks across Turkey and, in particular, Afyon, Ankara and Konya provinces.
