Turkey's prime minister has vowed to make a Kurdish protester who took down the national flag "pay the price".
Photographs taken on Sunday showed a masked protester scaling a flagpole inside a Turkish military base in the majority-Kurdish Diyarbakir province.
Kurds demonstrated again on Monday against plans to build a new army base in the area.
On Sunday, two Kurdish protesters died after being shot the previous day in clashes with government troops.
The upsurge in tensions sparked by the deaths and the plans to build the army base are seen as a threat to the peace process.
