STORYLINE:
In a second day of civil unrest, demonstrators clashed with police who fired tear gas and water cannons in several cities in the mostly Kurdish southeast of Turkey on Friday, after Turkish military warplanes killed 35 smugglers and other villagers in an operation targeting Kurdish rebels in Iraq on Wednesday.
Thousands of demonstrators marched in Diyarbakir after the funerals of the Kurdish civilians, chanting slogans and some of them holding PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) flags.
At the end of the protest dozens of protesters clashed with police. Firat, a pro-Kurdish news agency, said 30 people were arrested in Diyarbakir, the region's biggest city.
One person was injured and six arrested in Van city, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency.
About 500 Iraqi Kurds denounced the airstrikes in a rally in the city of Irbil in the Kurdish-controlled region of northern Iraq. Trade unionists and other groups planned a protest in Istanbul later on Friday.
Non-combatants have often been caught in the crossfire of Turkey's war, but one of the highest civilian tolls in a single day further soured relations between the government and ethnic Kurds who have long faced discrimination.
The military issued a message of condolence that was carried on Anadolu.
There was no apology, but such a public outreach is highly unusual in the Turkish armed forces, which are traditionally tight-lipped about operations.
A government campaign to reconcile with Kurds by granting them more rights has stalled amid a surge in fighting this year.
The government, which says that PKK is a "terrorist group", has had secretive contact with Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed chief of the PKK at his island prison as part of its effort to make peace with Kurdish opponents.
Kurds make up around 20 percent of Turkey's 74 (m) million people. While many have assimilated and are not politically active, a significant number feel marginalised and want independence in Kurdish-dominated southeast Turkey.
