Two Italians who were part of a delegation going to Diyarbakir to join the Newroz celebrations have been rejected at the border and not allowed entering Turkey. The first man, F.M. had been expelled after reaching Istanbul airport. The same fate was lived by A.O. president of a solidarity association with Kurdish people. Rete Italiana Kurdistan expressed their condemnation in a statement released in their website. The organization underlined that one of the two people expelled was a long standing friend of the Kurds, and has been going to Turkey for the past fifteen years.
