German ambassador to Turkey, Eberhad Pohl, has paid a visit to Suruç, where over one hundred thousand people from Kobanê went following the assaults of the ISIS gangs on the town.

Pohl first visited the Suruç Municipality and then the tent cities where the people from Kobanê stay.
Eberhard Pohl and the delegation with him was first welcomed by the HDP deputies İbrahim Ayhan and Aysel Tuğluk, DBP Urfa branch co-chair, İsmail Kaplan, DBP Suruç branch co-chair, İsmail Şahin and Rojava Aid and Solidarity Association member, Faruk Tatlı, at the municipality building in Suruç.
The delegation was briefed about the situation of the refugees in the town. HDP deputy Ayhan gave information about the state-run AFAD tent city and the attitude of the state towards the refugees, stressing that the state authorities who promised to build a tent city for 200 thousand people have not yet kept their promises. Ayhan also emphasised that the tent cities built by the municipalities receive no aid from the state, adding that they expect the AKP and the state authorities to abandon this attitude.
Deputy Aysel Tuğluk stressed that the Turkish state acted together with the ISIS gangs, adding: “Everyone knows this. The wounded gang members are treated in luxury hospitals in Turkey, while those who fight for their own lands and are wounded are arrested. Two days ago, 4 wounded persons from Kobanê, including two in a serious condition, were arrested and sent to prison”.
Pohl said he was quite happy to come to Suruç, recalling that hundreds of thousands of Kurdish people live in Germany. Pohl said the resistance in Kobanê had resonated in Germany as well as in other parts of the world, adding that he came to Suruç out of humanitarian sensitivity. Pohl said they would do whatever they could for the people of Kobanê, and added that he monitored the Kobanê resistance very closely.
Pohl further said that he followed the news about the attack of the ISIS gangs last week on the Mursitpınar border gate, adding that these gangs committing humanitarian crimes pose a big danger to Turkey as well.
Following the talks at the municipality, Pohl handed over 500 packets of aid material sent by the German Food Programme to the Rojava Aid and Solidarity Association and then visited the tent cities.
