Hundreds of Kurdish protesters lobbed stones at police and soldiers yesterday in southeastern Turkey in a fourth-straight day of clashes that have killed at least two people and injured dozens. A Kurdish demonstrator was shot to death yesterday and a police officer was injured, hospital officials said.  Almost all shops were closed, with residents staying home.

The demonstrators - mostly members of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society party, which faces closing for alleged ties to Kurdish  were protesting against the death of a Kurd who died early yesterday after being shot during clashes with police a day earlier.

The lure of Turkish destinations such as Bodrum, Dalaman and Antlaya, Alanya is so strong that it could encourage some foreign visitors to relocate to the country permanently, a market expert has suggested. According to the Association of British Travel Agents, Turkey will be the fourth most popular package holiday destination in 2008, behind Spain, France and Greece.

Rhiannon Williamson, director of international lifestyle magazine ShelterOffshore.com, said that there is a correlation between tourism and property investment that suggests that a rising number of people will be relocating in Turkey in the coming years.
