Syrian man claims Turkey is building new tomb on his property

February 24, 2015 By administrator

205569_newsdetailA Syrian man from Syria’s Kurdish town of Kobani has claimed that the land on which Turkey has chosen to move the recently exhumed remains of Süleyman Şah actually belongs to him and that no one informed him that the tomb would be built on his private property, a Turkish daily has reported.

According to a report published by the Vatan daily on Tuesday, the plot of land Turkey chose to rebuild the tomb, which is about 200 meters away from the Turkish-Syrian border in Şanlıurfa in an area being called Syrian Eşme, belongs to a 45-year-old Syrian man named Bozan Osman

Speaking to the daily, Osman, who took shelter in Şanlıurfa’s Birecik district near his relatives when clashes between Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants and Kurdish fighters broke out last autumn, said the land where the new tomb will reportedly be built belongs to him. He added that he didn’t sell the land or make any agreement with anyone regarding it.

“I saw Turkish soldiers going toward our village on [Saturday] night. I mean, the distance is [so close], around 200 meters. When we looked there [his land] in the morning, we saw the troops. I went to our mukhtar, Suphi Yavuz, and asked if the Turkish troops were on our land. The mukhtar told me: ‘Nothing bad will happen. The Turkish Republic is a big state and it won’t cause you grievance.’ The area is around 1,000 square meters. The whole of it belongs to me. No one came to me beforehand to inform me [that the tomb would be placed there],” Osman said.

The Syrian man also claimed that he went to speak with the Turkish soldiers and they also told him that “nothing bad will happen.”

He spoke about how the conditions of war in the area have affected him and the 12 members of his family, and he asked the Turkish government for help: “We are already in a difficult situation. While we were in Syria, we were earning our living by farming the land where the tomb will be built. We had planted wheat and barley. We are asking for help from the Turkish government. Land in Syria is too expensive. We don’t know what will happen.”

Turkey evacuates troops at Süleyman Şah tomb in Syria, one soldier killed in accident

February 22, 2015 By administrator

205401_newsdetailThe Turkish military has carried out an operation to protect troops guarding the tomb of Süleyman Şah in northern Syria, evacuating the tomb and brining the soldiers back to Turkey.

The Turkish military has successfully completed an operation into Syria to evacuate Turkish soldiers guarding a tomb, but one soldier was killed in an accident during the mission, according to a statement from the Turkish military. The statement saidthat no clashes erupted during the operation. Report Zaman

Commenting on the operation on Twitter, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said the soldiers guarding the tomb safely returned to Turkey. The prime minister also confirmed reports that remains of Süleyman Şah were exhumed during the operation. He said a new area in northern Syria has been designated and has been brought under the control of the military to transfer remains of Süleyman Şah. Davutoğlu congratulated the military for the sucessful operation.

In remarks to reporters on Sunday morning, Davutoğlu said 38 troops guarding the tomb were safely brought to Turkey.

At a press conference, Davutoğlu said 39 Turkish tanks, 57 armored vehicles and 572 personnel took part in two operations inside Syria — one in Süleyman Shah tomb in Aleppo and a simultaneous one in another region in Syria near the Turkish border to take control of anarea designated to be the new burial place for Süleyman Şah’s remains. Both operations got under way as of 09:00 p.m. on Saturday night. The troops arrived at Süleyman Shah tomb at 00:30 a.m. and left the tomb as of 04:45 a.m. after exhuming the remains in a ceremony. Remains of Süleyman Şah were brought to Turkey and the troops destroyed the tomb’s complex, said Davutoğlu, apparently to prevent it from being used by ISIL militants.
