YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. The Radio and Television Supreme Council of Turkey has suspended coverage of the Diyarbakir blast, Anadolu reports.

The Council’s statement says media coverage of the explosion – except official announcements – is suspended, due to “security concerns”.

Both civilians and police were killed and many people were wounded in a car bomb attack in Turkey's southeastern city of Diyarbakir on Friday, Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said in a speech.

The blast, which state authorities blamed on Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants, came hours after police detained politicians from the mostly Kurdish region's biggest party.
