Turkey: Dispatching Troops to Southern Kurdistan by Coaches


Tuesday, 30 March 2010

Turkish Military Forces continue to dispatch their troops to Kurdistan. This time they have sent their troops to the Southern Kurdistan using the inter-city civil coaches.
Turkish Military forces have already sent troops and ammunition to the regions of Gabar terrains and the Cudi Mountain in the city of Sirnax. In the meantime a group of coaches transferred soldiers to the Southern Kurdistan.
According to the reports released by the Furat News Agency, a number of couches with Ankara plaques have transferred a copnsidrable number of soldiers to the southern part of the country.
Turkish Military Forces transferred ammunitions on Tuesday morning using the civil lorries to the southern Kurdistan and then they also dispatched troops by the civil coaches.
While the operations keep going on the regions of the Culemirg and Dersim, the Turkish Military Forces with the co-operations of the local mercenaries have initiated a series of operations in the Cudi’s terrain.
Kurdistan Worker Party (PKK) has long called on Ankara to halt military operations and agree to negotiations for a peaceful solution to the Kurdish issue.
Despite the facts that the PKK has declared unilateral ceasefires in six different occasions and also sent peace groups in two different occasions yet the PKK is considered as a 'terrorist' organization by Ankara and the US. It also continues to be on the blacklist in EU despite the court ruling, which overturned the decision to place the Kurdish freedom movement on the EU's terror list.
“By labelling PKK as a terrorist organisation, the EU and the US are giving the Turkey a green light to target its civilians. They give the Turkish government a free hand to do what it will, a mother of Kurdish martyr said”.
After 1954, apart from the Korean war, 1949-52 and the invasion of Cyprus, 1974, the Turkish Army operations have continued to be exclusively against the Kurds
