Corroborating the statements of the Turkish historian Ayse Hür, a young French woman living in Istanbul, urgently calls on the imminent danger of ethnic cleansing involving the Kurdish people, perpetrated on the orders of the Turkish authorities. In fact the only images broadcast by Haber TV sparingly, speak for themselves. While the eyes of the international community have turned to Syria and Iraq, Turkey proceeds methodically to silence Kurdish ambitions.
Here is the text addressed to the UN:
“Imagine a district of Lyon or Rennes reduced to ashes by the French army itself. Imagine, teachers receive a text message announcing the Ministry all schools in unlimited vacation and summoning you to leave your city, Nantes and Valencia, in preparation for a massacre by the army. Imagine that no relays these atrocities and that the vast majority of the country, lobotomized by state TV and intoxicated by nationalist hatred think it is a legitimate war against “terror” and welcomes the dead, “dirty terrorist” and less.
Well that is what is happening now in Turkey, in its eastern part, among the Kurds. That’s what state is the neighborhood of Sur in Diyarbakir (Turkey). Teachers Cizre were ordered to leave the premises, hospitals were sent indicating “be ready the equipment and personnel.” A massacre of State is preparing to general indifference. And all this policy is supported by the Western powers, our governments … “When I think that I was walking again in these streets a few months ago .. When I see what’s left … And it just beginning. Friends, I know that Kurdistan is far from being the only place or are happening such injustices but right now, battery hundred years after the Armenian Genocide, a real ethnic cleansing is preparing under the orders of President Erdoğan (supported by our own government in most of his actions!), in general indifference and impotence of many. Life in the cities of the West seems to continue as if nothing had happened, no news on most channels controlled by the state (the other censored) or even more absurd lies of the government. Here it seems that the people’s opinion has no weight but may be that in France you can make things happen .. disseminate, organize support visible movements etc .. to prevent further genocide in any country close to home, in 2015 “
