HDP Şırnak deputy Faysal Sarıyıldız who spoke about the alleged reports on the killing of 60 people in a basement in the town of Cizre pointed out that this assertion was put forward in the wake of two very huge blasts in the area Sunday evening.

Sarıyıldız spoke to Stêrk TV after the state-run TRT TV reported a breaking news saying that Turkish security forces conducted an operation on a basement in the evening hours, as a result of which “some 60 terrorists were neutralized”.

Sarıyıldız told the followings; "The assertion came in the wake of two huge explosions that occurred 2 hours ago. Those trapped in the building (the second one) had told us that there were a total of 52 people apart from the 9 that burned to death and 1 that was murdered in the basement. It is understood that the mentioned operation was conducted on this building. We have no clear information yet but such a savagery might have taken place after a continued denial of retrieval and hospitalization of the trapped people. If such a thing has occurred, it will mean a very big massacre."

HDP MP said eyewitnesses told that they heard no gunshots but explosion during the operation in question.
