The front door of the Turkish Embassy located in the Kaivopuisto area of Helsinki was set on fire around 3 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Police say it's possible the arson was politically motivated.

[...]

A Kurdish demonstration was staged by the Turkish Embassy on Monday.

Four young men have been brought into custody as suspects.

"These are very young men in their 20s. They all live in Finland, but at least some of them are of Kurdish-Turkish background."


It is a shame, that immigrants and refugees bring their "old" conflicts with them to their new home country.

Any kind of fanaticism is never a good thing. Especially if the topic is religion, race or nationality.
