Europe ignored massacre of Kurdish population

USPA NEWS - The medial examination of the ErdoÄŸan government turns again to the question of freedom of expression. While much has been discussed about ErdoÄŸan rightly, in public the denial of basic rights such as the right to life by the Turkish state is ignored

Even criticized by Germany, but in the EU it openly contradicts the TMY Turkey remains reduced to aspects of freedom of expression. It also has the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, explained in a press release that "to have violated the right to life prompt investigation and prosecution of all those who are suspected, including executions and the disproportionate use of lethal force heard was necessary by independent courts. "
It is striking that this press release, in which Turkey is strongly condemned, has produced low medial and politically no discernible echo in Germany.

Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein describes in an official statement, in his capacity as High Commissioner that his present reports prove the "deliberate shooting of unarmed civilians, including women and children by gunfire from snipers and from tanks and military vehicles". In a previous statement of 01 February, he goes into a captured by journalist Refik Tekin Video: "This is a group of apparently unarmed civilians, which is led by a woman with a white flag. They pulled a handcart on which the report on the follow-bodies were transported by road. Meanwhile they were being watched from afar by an armored vehicle.

When they arrive on the other side, they are obviously struck down in a hail of bullets. Tekin filming continued while blood flows through the lens "The video described in the report can be viewed at the link below. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6bKXZ5E0II

In the current reporting Al Hussein goes on to say that there had been "massive disproportionate destruction" of homes of civilians by security forces. He writes: "The most frightening are reports citing witnesses in Cizre, representing that in Cizre more than 100 people have been burned, as they have found shelter in three different cellars, which had been surrounded by the security forces.

He complains that Turkey had previously rejected any suggestion of the UN to visit the region and to obtain first-hand information, "It is in 2016 extraordinary and extremely worrying, to this extent any information on what in a happened such a large and geographically accessible region to obtain. "

The Government of Turkey stated repeatedly that the operation had been completed, but the battles and sieges do not stop. So besieged the Turkish army and police now since March 14, the city of Nusaybin.
Even in the now besieged for 58 days City Şırnak last sieges, bombings and curfews. In all these places clashes take place.

The concept of a war of annihilation against the Kurdish civil society is thus mapped out by the highest authorities. mistreat That AKP, MHP and CHP deputies, deputies of HDP in the Parliament of the Republic of Turkey, threatening and can jointly cancel their immunity, shows how much the way to a political solution on the part of the Turkish state have been installed.
