Daily massacres are taking place in Eastern Turkey (North Kurdistan) as the Turkish police and half million strong army indulge in pogroms against the Kurdish population, who demand autonomous self-rule (but not a new state).

Led by an openly racist and neo-fascist megalomaniac, Erdogan, the Turkish State broke negotiations, renounced the cease-fire and began ever growing police and military campaigns in east Turkey and North Iraq (but not yet invading Rojava).

The pogroms and incipient genocide were given the ‘OKAY’ by Nato (the US) in the Incirlik agreement, meaning that Western reporting is at a minimum, and Erdogan now has implicit EU support (plus billions of euros) in return for curbing the refugee flow to Europe.



Three Kurdish women politicians murdered by police in Turkey’s southeast

A total of 19 bullets have been found in the bodies of three women who were killed on Jan. 4 in the southeastern district of Silopi as Şırnak Governor’s Office denied media claims that the victims were assassinated. Seve Demir, a member of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP), Fatma Uyar and Pakize Nayır, as well as an unidentified man, were found dead in Silopi, which has been under a government siege since Dec. 14, 2015, as the government pursues military operations against all Kurdish resistance.

The autopsy report revealed that 19 bullets were found in the bodies of three women who were killed in a house in Silopi. A total of 11 bullets were found in the body of Demir, whose head was also damaged and her skull was visible. “Due to the wide tissue losses on the hairy skin and skull, it is not clear whether the injury to the head was caused by gunfire or an explosive,” said the autopsy report. In Uyar’s autopsy report, three bullets and “five possible cartridge bullets” were found. Five bullets were found in the body of Nayır, according to the report. Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Şırnak deputy Leyla Birlik said in the report that she demanded further investigation into the incident on the ground that she was informed by another DBP member that there was an attack on a house and several, including Demir, were wounded before being executed. “My point is that I was told on the phone that Seve Demir was wounded. However, she was wounded and alive but her head was damaged in the report. That means she was executed [after being wounded],” Birlik said. Yet another massacre. Tension remains high in Van province where 12 more youths have been executed in a house-raid in the central Edremit district early this morning.

HDP Van deputy Bedia Özgökçe stated that public prosecutor has ruled a decision to send the bodies of youths to the Forensic Medicine Institution in Malatya province on the grounds of security reasons. Özgökçe, who is outside the hospital morgue where slain youths are being held, said bodies have been identified and ID details have been conveyed to the public prosecutor.

Özgökçe said all the eyewitnesses they have talked to confirmed that the youths were shot in the head. One of them said police fired a missile into the house where a clash took place for half an hour, and three people who went out of the house had no guns in their hands.

HDP MP for Van described the delivery of the bodies to Malatya as an interesting decision that raised suspicions over the initiation of a judicial investigation into the incident. Özgökçe said it was essential that an independent delegation to take part in the post-mortem examination of the bodies.
