A funeral ceremony held for a newborn baby who was killed in a YPG/PKK attack in the last week on October 11, 2019
Sister of Ferhat Kanat, one of the seven victims of a PKK suicide attack in Ankara, mourns the killing of her brother during the funeral ceremony in 2007. The PKK killed 33 unarmed Turkish soldiers, who were being transported by shuttles into their respective units, after ambushing the shuttles on Elazig-Bingol highway. The PKK brutally massacred 33 peasants in Erzincan’s Basbaglar village. They burned the village after the massacre.
Figen Yuksekdag, an MP of People's Democratic Party, which is linked to the PKK, attends the funeral of two YPG terrorists' who were gunned down by the Turkish forces a few years ago. In late July, Turkey’s governing Justice and Development Party declared a “Solution Process” that was regarded as a major political development concerning the Kurdish question.
In April, US also designated Cemil Bayik and Duran Kalkan, who were two of PKK founders, as Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers. The year marked the most violent period of the PKK since 1999, leading to the deaths of hundreds. Erdogan signaled that the peace process started with the democratic opening will continue anyway though all sabotages. It was the first year of the peace process which was named by the Turkish government as “Resolution Process.”
Yasin Boru, a 16-year-old Kurdish teenager, was murdered by the PKK supporters in Diyarbakir in 2014. The mob that killed Boru was part of the crowd that responded to the protest call of Selahattin Demirtas, the leader of HDP. During the second court trial, people protested against the PKK in Ankara in 2015.
Turkey accused the PKK of escalating the Ayn al Arab conflict and extend it in Turkish territories through Ayn Al Arab riots. Despite many differences, Ocalan’s letter to PKK leadership and others were read during March Newroz celebrations in Diyarbakir. The letter asked PKK leadership to disarm and end its 40 years old of terror campaign against Turkey.
