Kurdish forces claim 308 Turkish fighters killed in Afrin

January 27, 2018 By administrator

The Syrian Defense Forces’ press service reported of 308 Turkish servicemen killed since the start of the Olive Branch operation in Afrin. This number contradicts Ankara’s reports, Sputnik reports.

“We have 43 victims among our fighters, including eight women from the YPJ (women’s self-defense forces). 134 civilians were wounded and 59 are dead,” the statement said.

According to the Syrian Defense Forces, since January 20, the Turkish Air Forces have carried out 191 sorties and dropped 699 shells on the territory in the north of Syria. During the operation, there have been 136 clashes between the SDF and the advancing forces. The SDF even mentions seven more clashes, “the results of which have not been not confirmed.”

“Turkish aggression led to… the deaths of 308 members of various offensive troops, with four officers and a general among them,” the SDF stated.

However, the Turkish Health Ministry has refuted the number of its servicemen killed, claiming that only three have died since the start of the operation.

“Three Turkish servicemen were killed during the country’s operation in Syria’s Afrin and 16 remain hospitalized, a spokesperson of the Turkish Health Ministry told Sputnik on Friday.

“To date, three Turkish servicemen have been killed during the operation in Afrin …Several dozen have been injured, most of them received medical assistance on site. As many as 16 are in the hospital, their condition is not critical,” the spokesperson said.

According to the latest data released by the Turkish military, a total of 343 “terrorists” have been eliminated since the beginning of the Olive Branch operation, which was launched on January 20.

Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed that Ankara could extend its third military advance in Syria all the way east to the border with Iraq, emphasizing that the country would “completely clear the region of terrorists, beginning with Manbij and throughout our entire border [with Syria].”

The Olive Branch offensive was launched on January 20 in the Kurdish-dominated Syrian city of Afrin, controlled by the US-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG). The latter is considered to be an affiliate of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), designated as a terrorist group in Turkey and some other countries.

January 16, 2018 By administrator

Leader of the Civic Initiative SDP Oliver Ivanovic was assassinated on Tuesday in Kosovska Mitrovica, the Russian news agency TASS reports, citing Blic newspaper which quoted the politician’s lawyer.

“Apparently, he died on the spot. We know now that he received five gunshot wounds. He was immediately sent to hospital and doctors tried to save him, but this was to no avail,” his lawyer Nebojsa Vlajic said.

Head of hospital in Kosovska Mitrovica confirmed to Serbia’s state news agency Tanjug that the politician died of wounds. It was impossible to save him as he sustained many wounds to the upper part of his body, he added.

Kosovo’s police confirmed the assassination saying that a search for the attackers is underway.

The assassination occurred when Ivanovic was entering his party’s building.

Crowds of people have started gathering outside the building and the hospital and police are blocking the neighboring areas.

 

In the wake of the killing, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic convened an emergency meeting of the country’s Security Council. Marko Duric, who heads the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, said the Serb delegation was suspending its technical dialogue with Pristina in Brussels and returning to Belgrade.

Oliver Ivanovic, one of leaders of Kosovo Serbs, earlier served as the State Secretary of the Ministry for Kosovo and Metohija in the Serb government. In January 2016, he was sentenced to 9 years in jail for war crimes against Albanians in 1999. In February 2017, the sentence announced by the first-instance court was overturned and a new trial began. Ivanovic was under house arrest and in April 2017 he was released.

December 4, 2017 By administrator

This photo released on social media shows a Yemeni fighter holding an ID card purportedly belonging to the country’s former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, after his death in Sana’a clashes on Monday, December 4, 2017.

Yemen’s Interior Ministry has issued a statement confirming the death of the country’s ousted president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, during clashes in capital Sana’a.

The confirmation came after a Yemeni radio station announced earlier on Monday that Saleh had been killed during clashes in the Yemeni capital.

The Interior Ministry further said in its statement that Saleh had been creating “chaos” in the country through cooperating with “militias of aggression” and by providing help to “extremist militias.”

The ministry added that the Yemeni forces, backed by fighters from the popular Ansarullah Houthi movement, were in full control of all positions previously held by Saleh’s militias in Sana’a.

The statement also noted that conflicts, which had plagued Sana’a during past days, were actually over after death of Saleh.

“The Interior Ministry announces the end of the crisis of the treason militia and the killing of its leader and a number on his criminal partisans,” it added.

Later in the day, Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television quoted sources in Saleh’s General Peoples Congress as confirming that he had been killed.

The news channel added that the sources had said Saleh was killed by sniper bullets.

Earlier on Monday, Saudi Arabia unleashed a fresh wave of aerial bombardments against targets in Yemen’s capital in an apparent effort to support forces loyal Saleh.

Malta’s overdue struggle against corruption, crooks and imbeciles

Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb on Monday

Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb on Monday

The murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia has refocused attention on corruption and money-laundering scandals in Malta. The island that critics – including her own son – described as a “mafia state.

After the murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, EU lawmakers have called on the European Commission to do more to combat money-laundering and corruption in Malta after looking the other way for too long.

Caruana Galizia was thefirst to reveal the Maltese names in the “Panama Papers,” the 11.5 million documents leaked in May 2016 that revealed how wealth was hidden and laundered across the world.

Perhaps most notably, she wrote about offshore shell companies held in Panama and elsewhere by members of Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat’s government – as well as his wife. Many of the accusations in her widely read blog, whose last post was published less than an hour before her death on Monday, were repeated by her son Matthew Caruana Galizia in a Facebook post published on Tuesday.

“It is of little comfort for the prime minister of this country to say that he will ‘not rest’ until the perpetrators are found,” he wrote. “First he filled his office with crooks, then he filled the police with crooks and imbeciles, then he filled the courts with crooks and incompetents. If the institutions were already working, there would be no assassination to investigate – and my brothers and I would still have a mother.”

An Armenian was killed while fighting ISIS (DAESH) forces in Syria, the Armenian Weekly reports, citing its sources.

Nubar Ozanyan, a member of the Communist Party of Turkey (Marxist-Leninist (TKP/ML)) and the Liberation Army of the Workers and Peasants of Turkey (TIKKO), was killed in Rojava, Syria on Aug. 14.

Following his death, the Istanbul-based Nor Zartonk movement released a statement in Turkish praising Ozanyan’s fight against ISIS.

“We have learned with great sadness that Armenian revolutionary commander unger (comrade) Nubar Ozanyan died when fighting against ISIS with TKP/ML and TIKKO in Rojava, on Aug. 14, 2017. With revolutionary modesty, commitment, resolve, courage, and internationalist spirit, unger Nubar has been one of the important bearers of the Armenian revolutionary tradition. We are deeply saddened to have lost a genuine revolutionary who has succeeded in becoming an agent of the revolution,” read the Nor Zartonk statement, as translated by the Armenian Weekly.

According to some reports, Ozanyan had taken part in the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Liberation War in the 1990s. “From Lebanon and Palestine to Nagorno-Karabakh and Rojava, we are so honored to have known Orhan, who showed us what it means to be a guerrilla,” the International Revolutionary People’s Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF) tweeted on Aug. 15.
