At least 45 people have been killed in an attack on a wedding party in south-eastern Turkey, officials say.
Mask-wearing assailants opened fire with automatic rifles and grenades, officials in Mardin province said.
The area, near the border with Syria, has been plagued by fighting between Kurdish separatists and government troops for 25 years.
But Turkey's Interior Minister Besir Atalay said the attack did not appear to be a "terror event".
Local media have suggested the violence might have been the result of a blood feud or an argument between guests.
Other unconfirmed reports said the wedding guests included members of a militia who help troops to fight Kurdish rebels.
