Unable to break the Kurdish people's will, the AKP regime took to the enforcement of cultural genocide and destroys everything which can be linked to the Kurdish people.

State-appointed trustee at the usurped Erciş municipality issued a decree for the demolition of the '7 June Freedom Park' opened in 2015. The decree includes a new project for the creation of a tea garden in the place of the park. Two days ago the Kurdish signboard of the park was ripped down and preparations for its demolition have been initiated.

One of the officals in charge of the Municipal Directorate for Gardens and Parks stated that the new site would suit to the nearby Selvi and Emrah Tea Gardens.

Before that, the state-appointed trustee at the usurped municipality of Van's Çatak district, renamed the park which the DBP-held municipality had named after Head of Amed Bar Association Tahir Elçi murdered in Amed on 28 November, 2015. The trustee later named the park after a dead village guard named Ali Ogün.
