Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of Turkey’s social democratic main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), escaped an assassination attempt on 25 August 2016 in the northeastern province of Artvin. One Turkish soldier was killed when fire was opened on the convoy of Mr Kılıçdaroğlu but the opposition chief was unharmed. The government blamed the ambush on members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and said an operation had been launched against the rebels in the area. |
