As Turkey masses troops and considers a large-scale incursion into mainly Kurdish northern Iraq to crush the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), feelings ran high in Germany, which is home to the world's largest Turkish migrant community. A peaceful rally on Sunday in the multicultural district of Kreuzberg in Berlin, intended to promote unity between Turks and Kurds, turned violent.
