Only minor protests and incidents occurred overnight and Friday in southeast Turkey and some other cites, media reports said, after one protestor was shot to death allegedly by police and many others injured earlier this week.

A group of around 300 people gathered Friday in Diyarbakir, the regional capital of the southeast and marched for a while after Friday prayer with no clashes, while non-violent small groups overnight celebrated the approval of candidates, an AFP correspondent reported.

Some members of Turkey's main Kurdish movement Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) wanted to shut down traffic to Istanbul's Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge over the Bosporus, but we stopped by police, Anatolia news agency said.

A fire broke out in a supermarket in southeast Adiyaman province Thursday night, as unidentified people hurled Molotov cocktails, Anatolia reported. The fire was extinguished.

And in the suburban town of Tuzla near Istanbul a small bomb exploded on Friday, injuring two people, the news agency reported.

There was no information on whether the blast was connected to Kurdish protests, but the Istanbul governor said the wounded have criminal records in connection with the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Anatolia said.

Another small scale blast caused material damage in Istanbul's Zeytinburnu neighborhood overnight.

In an election rally Friday in northern Turkey, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan slammed the demonstrations that hit mainly the southeast throughout the week.

"Vandalism is everywhere," Erdogan said in Bayburt province, accusing the BDP of sending young people into the streets for violent protests and attacks.

The Higher Electoral Board (YSK) Monday vetoed seven independent candidates back by BDP in June 12 general elections, sparking the violent clashes.

Five people including one police officer and three minors were also injured by real rounds during the protests.

The minors were injured by soldiers who opened fire over a crowd of around 100 protestors in Adana in southern Turkey, as they entered military barracks by passing wire fences, Anatolia reported.

The YSK Thursday reversed its decision for six bidders by examining additional documents.

The disqualification of candidates has deepened frustration among the Kurds at a time when their parties already face legal hurdles and many activists remain in jail despite a series of reforms broadening Kurdish rights.

Mainly Kurdish southeastern Turkey, the BDP's stronghold, has been the scene of a bloody conflict since 1984, when the PKK took up arms for self-rule. The conflict has claimed some 45,000 lives.

The PKK, listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, announced a unilateral truce in August and then extended it until the general elections to push for a peaceful solution to the conflict.
