ANF spoke to the German landlord of the house where Ömer Güney had lived for about a year before he moved from Germany in mid 2012. The householder described Güney as a person with fascist ideas and quoted him saying "If you are a Nazi, I am an Ottoman Turk", during a discussion.

Ömer Güney, from Şarkışla district of Sivas, has been arrested on 19 July in connection with the killings of Sakine Cansız,a co-founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Fidan Doğan, representative of the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK) in Paris and Leyla Şaylemez, member of the Kurdish youth movement who were found dead in the Kurdistan Information Office in Paris on 10 January.

The old German landlord, who wished to remain anonymous, gave some information about suspect Güney's recent days in Germany. 

According to the landlord, Ömer Ziya Güney lived in his house in the town of Schliersee, 50 km far from Munich, from mid 2011 until August of 2012 when he hastily left the house with a group of people accompanying him.

"Ömer Güney told us that he had moved to our house after he divorced from his wife in the town of Bad Tölz. He used to live alone, we didn't see anybody coming to visit him home. He was very kind to us and he always paid the rent on time, we never had any problem with him. He also spoke German fluently", said the landlord.

Asked about Güney's political opinion, the landlord said: "It was obvious that he was a Turkish nationalist. One day we had a discussion with him for an unimportant reason as I asked him why he had a buzz cut. He immediately stood up in anger and shouted at me 'You may be a Nazi but I am an Ottoman Turk'. Only a person with fascist ideas can say this to a German".

The landlord said that he last saw Ömer Güney in mid-August when he seemed quite nervous; "His family  returned from a holiday in Turkey that day and they came here instead of going to France. Ömer seemed quite nervous as he told us that he was going to France with his family and leaving his household goods to us in return for the rent of that month".

The landlord added that; "He told us those people were his parents and sisters. We suggested to go and see Schliersee, but they said they were in a hurry and left together with two cars, one of which had a French numberplate and the other a German one.  The cars were large and full with people. He introduced the two women there to us as his sisters. One of them spoke English with us when we warned them as they were making noise that night."

The German landlord says that  police has not asked him any information.
