Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and president of the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Massoud Barzani coordinately targeted Rojava before the two days visit they paid to the main Kurdish city Amed/Diyarbakır at the weekend.
Turkish security forces killed three Kurdish civilians on the Qamishlo border soon after Tayyip Erdoğan said in Amed that he “understands the pain of Qamishlo”.
Three people from Rojava were executed by Turkish special operation teams while on their way from Qamishlo to Mardin's Nusaybin district on Saturday evening. Officials have ruled confidentiality on the file of the investigation. The massacre has been the very first consequence of the joint plan against Rojava.
Differently from what he said in Amed on Saturday, Erdoğan described the new Turkey as “one nation, one state and one flag”, in his speech in Bismil, a district of Amed he visited on Sunday.
Barzani who had forgotten about Öcalan on the first day of the visit remembered the Kurdish leader the day later.
According to the reports obtained, three people from the Hîmo village of Qamishlo city passed through a mined land and reached the silk road as they tried to enter the Nusaybin district of Mardin city at around 01.30 on Sunday night.
Three villagers lost their life after being shot by Turkish soldiers from an armored vehicle. A number of police, soldier and special operation teams were sent to the scene after the incident. The bodies of three villagers were taken to the Forensic Medicine Institution of Malatya following a preliminary autopsy done by prosecutor on duty. Officials have launched an investigation into the incident.
