Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) group deputy chair and Iğdır deputy Pervin Buldan asked for a Parliamentary Inquiry in order to investigate the unsolved murders that have taken the life of thousands of people since 1920 and, the political-social reasons and power groups behind the killings.

Buldan remarked that the history of unsolved murders in Turkey went back to 1920 when Mustafa Suphi, leader of the Communist Party of Turkey, and his comrades were drown in the Black Sea. "This political killing was followed by the execution of poem and writer Sebahattin Ali near Bulgarian border and has continued until reent years, becoming a part of our lives", Buldan noted.

BDP group deputy chair stated that unsolved murders in the country had remarkably intensified in 90's as a result of the state's approach basing on a military and paramilitary but not a democratic solution to the Kurdish question. Buldan pointed out that "Tens of thousand citizens of the Turkish state, including journalists, occupational groups, politicians, deputies, villagers, students and tradesmen, fell victim to unsolved murders in this period when, according to unofficial records, 18,000 people were killed in "unsolved murders".

She stated that the perpetrators of these killings still remain unsolved as the investigations into killings remained ineffective or dropped due to prescription.

Buldan also noted that the evidences to shed light on unsolved murders have been kept confidential as state secrets up to the present. She remarked that the Parliamentary Commission to Investigate Unsolved Murders had ended its works without launching an effective investigation because of the confidentiality of important sources of the state.

Buldan underlined that it was essential to shed light on unsolved murders in terms of creating a mutual trust environment in the ongoing process of talks in search for a solution to the Kurdish question. She said these political murders were a great shame for a state of law.

Buldan ended saying that it was a must by now to establish a commission to shed light on the unsolved murders in the country, to disclose the perpetrators and all reasons behind these killings and to pave the way for an effective investigation so that the legal process against those responsible could be launched.
