Roboski families are still seeking justice after 56 weeks from the massacre by Turkish warplanes which claimed the lives of 34 Kurdish civilians, mostly children, in the village of Roboski (Uludere/Şırnak) on 28 December 2011.
Families of the victims gathered at the graveyard of 34 people on Thursday and released a statement to protest against the non-progress of the investigation on the perpetrators of the massacre.
The families pointed out that the Turkish state has a history of numerous massacres from Dersim to Zilan, from Maraş to Çorum , from Roboski to Paris, and noted that  the state has been carrying out these massacres to suppress the people by killing them in masses, and to receive further support for war from circles that it controls with racist and chauvinistic attacks.
Families underlined that the war system and massacres aim to take both sides, those killed and those supporting the killings, captive and added that they will not end their search of justice until light is shed on the Roboski massacre.
Speaking after, Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) council member Ferhat Encü said that “Since the very first day of the massacre, we see that the Prime Minister and the AKP government are trying to cover up the massacre and to make us forget about it”.
In response to PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan who said at the group meeting of his party on Tuesday that “I am dropping bombs on terrorists, not on my Kurdish brothers and sisters”, Encü said that; “Then which country and which prime minister was it that allowed the bombs dropped on 34 people most of whom were children? I wonder if the PM sees anyone who thinks different from him as terrorists?”
Encü also reminded another statement by PM who has recently said that “What about the tears of the child of the police officer who has been killed in Mardin? Will we not take revenge on those who killed him?, and commented PM's statement as a precipitating cause for the emergence of feelings of grudge, revenge and conflict. “What about the tears of the mothers and sisters of the 34 people who were killed here? Or, do the tears of Kurdish mothers and sisters have no importance to you?”, he asked in response to the PM.
Encü also criticized the Parliamentary Uludere Sub-Commission for delaying its report on Roboski and demanded the urgent presentation of the report.  
We will not forget the Roboski Massacre and we will not let it be forgotten, Encü added.
