Hundreds of demonstrators marched in the city of Diyarbakir in south-east Turkey on Saturday to pay tribute to the victims of explosions the previous day which left two people dead and dozens injured.
Friday's blasts occurred as a large crowd was attending a political rally of the pro-Kurdish People's Democracy Party (HDP) ahead of Sunday's parliamentary elections.
Some of the marchers on Saturday carried HDP banners. A main banner called for peace, but there were also some chants in favour of the outlawed Kurdish militant group the PKK.
The explosions followed an attack earlier in the week on an HDP election vehicle that left a driver dead, and bombings last month at two party offices that left several people injured.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called the latest incident an "open provocation" and ordered an investigation.
HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas issued a call for calm.
The HDP is trying to pass Turkey's 10-per-cent threshold on Sunday and enter parliament for the first time as a party.
