It happened near the village of Sirnak, there is less than a week. In this part of Turkey, which form a wedge between the Iraqi border in the east and the Syrian border to the west. In a region claimed by Kurdish separatists. At night, the residents of a refugee camp witnessed the arrival of military trucks, some carrying bulldozers. In a few minutes, seven pits were dug and bodies were buried hastily and covered. With just large stones without inscription to mark their location. How many were there? Refugees who have shown the graves to a Times reporter did not know, because they were hiding while taking place this macabre operation. They still have to realize that there were children in this mass grave.

Since the cease-fire with the PKK, the Kurdish separatist movement, has been broken, there are two years, swordsmen Erdogan hastily baptized indiscriminate terrorist civilians. Which, incidentally, is sometimes true, as the PKK continues to commit attacks against the Turks, including the heart of power in large cities like Ankara or Istanbul. arbitrary arrest

The problem is that Turkish President has given full powers to the army to fight the separatists and the latter in used and abused with the full approval of power. Arbitrary arrests, liquidations multiply, supposedly to fight terrorists. Neither opinion, which fears the power nor the press, increasingly muzzled, really protesting.

But the worst is the embarrassed silence and therefore complicit in Europe. Erdogan pretext justify his evil deeds in the fight against terrorism, European leaders leave the nearly. Forgetting that those Turkish President massacred brethren are these which peshmerga, Syria or Iraq, are central to the fight against the Islamic State alongside the Western coalition. Their fighting spirit is not for nothing in military setbacks suffered by jihadis on the ground.

The truth is that we attack of cowardice before the Turkish satrap. When we accept the forced resignation of the EU Ambassador in Ankara on the grounds that the diplomat criticized the way Erdogan made fun of human rights. When the Germans agreed to prosecute a comedian because he lampooned the Turkish President. When Angela Merkel feebly protested against the anathemas launched by Erdogan against members of the Bundestag with Turkish ancestry who voted a text on the Armenian genocide conviction. When we do not block the process of Turkish accession to Europe while the Turkish power checks of journalists and silenced media permanently.
