2012-05-15 40 Dailymotion

Turkey's ultra-nationalists have staged a campaign rally in Diyarbakir, the main city in the country's majority Kurdish southeast, for the first time in 16 years, ahead of Sunday's parliamentary elections.<br /><br />The Nationalist Movement Party, or MHP, is the group most opposed to greater rights and freedoms for Turkey's 14-million Kurdish majority - and visits to the city in the past might have been expected to incite a riot.<br /><br />But the party also draws support from some Kurds who oppose self rule and favour unity and a strong centralised state.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught reports from Diyarbakir.
