Terrorist attack at Dolmabahçe palace

Not much information as yet, but at least two gunmen attacked the Polis at Dolmabahçe palace.  Lots of tourists about, hopefully no one injured seriously.

Two detained after shooting outside istanbul palace

Bad day for Turkey. Eight soldiers killed in Siirt.

Lets not forget the four killed in Diyarbakır yesterday.

It's just like the "old" days, and I don't mean that in a nostalgic sense. 

I can't see an end to it the way things stand.  An AKP majority in this upcoming election will just add fuel to the fires, a split vote will do the same as no-one will take the initiative to do anything.

Edit:  And also, lets not forget the sixteen year old lad killed by the Polis in Esenler last night.  I get the feeling he won't be the last.

Really sad times, as you said can't see it ending in a hurry.
