There are some comments about nevruz:

It may give you a clue.

Actually Nevruz wasn't an official "bayram" (festival/celebration day). Last years, I remember there are works about to making it as a celebration of everyone. Because nevruz hasn't been celebrated generally Turks in Turkey, and it's been always made a provacation symbol, or "messy" day by terrorists. They say "Nevruz is Kurdish fest" etc. or at least that is what it looks like. And generally in this day, they make shows and the result is broken windows, fighted people, screams of terrorist slogans. For that reason, police and army get ready for the all probabilities. I am not sure but maybe your friend wants to say: "I'll be busy today"

the riot must have been the result of tension between secularists and staunch muslims who celebrate this occasion openly

Because terrorists are always terrorists. They use every single chance to make the world messy.

That is not related to secularism or Islamism. This is just terror.
