Shops closed today in the city shocked by killing of three civilians Şemdinli shop keepers today did not open their shops to protest at the random shooting by police and army which killed three civilians on Sunday night. At the same time the shops were closed to mourn the dead among which was a fourteen years old boy, attending a wedding party. The families of the three civilians killed on Sunday, were today able to take the bodies of their loved ones and to bring them Şemdinli, a district of Hakkari, to be buried. A simultaneous raid action was carried out by Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members Sunday night at around 10:00pm in Şemdinli district of Hakkari, targeting the district Police Department and Gendarmerie Station. At least one sergeant and one police officer died and seven wounded during the clashes which lasted more than an hour. During the armed clash, 14-year-old boy Osman Erbaş was severely injured while Necdet Güreli and Tayyar Güreli died when police and soldiers opened fire at random. Erbaş also died because of excessive bleeding as police’s barricade did not allow ambulance to take him to hospital for emergency medical response. The police and soldiers fired at random using automatic guns and rocket launchers and targeting many houses and workplaces. The district turned into battlefield and people were unable to move. While the mourners who welcomed the bodies blocked the road, the brother of Osman Erbaş said, "We will resist these massacres." The mourners then left Yüksekova in a convoy of hundreds of vehicles and headed towards Şemdinli. The city, yesterday, was visited by the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) delegation and then by another delegation, including Human Rights Association (İHD) Hakkari Branch Chair İsmail Akbulut, İHD representative of Yüksekova, Hakkari mayor Fadıl Bedirhanoğlu and BDP City vice chair Orhan Koparan. "It is a pure barbarity, there is not any house without bullet hit," said BDP Hakkari Parliamentary Esat Canan after the BDP Committee completed the investigations in Şemdinli. Canan also stated that “the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Prime Minister Erdoğan is in charge of these events as soldiers used heavy guns in the district centre which is not acceptable for humanity. The AKP closed all the doors to peace. This mentality has to be changed in order to solve the Kurdish problem.” ANF / SEMDINLI ANF NEWS AGENCY
Turkey may kill. Israel may not kill, Syria may kill, the USA may not kill. Gotta love double standards
nobody may kill innocent people, regardless of ethnicity. btw all these people are turkish citizens and this is an internal issue of Turkey. you, even the kurdish members of this forum have no business here, we will deal with this internally, among each other, citizens of Turkey.
yeah by more killing of the kurds in turkey , i know . but wait you said yesterday there is no such thing as a kurd so how can you solve the problem with "nothing" !!?????
the same goes with your PM sticking his nose in Israel Egyptian and other countries which have nothing to do with turkey while , those kurds in turkey have everything to do with kurds everywhere in the world .
whatever goes on in middle-east is always our business, we have governed those regions longer than any human civilization ever existed on the face of earth. whatever goes on in Turkey is also our business, and these killings are unfortunate but still, our internal affair, its not your and anybody else's problem, and you should not stick your nose into it.
ofcourse there is something as kurd, i was trying to make you angry, tbh i do not hate kurds, i mean i dont like you but in my most hated list there are some other people that are much higher on the ladder, so you are not my biggest concern at the moment
they have nothing to do with you , just cos you occupied their lands and ruled over them it gives you now right now to stick your nose in it , but kurds like i said have a right over kurds no matter where they are in the world .
