As part of the investigation carried out by the Ankara General Prosecutor’s Office, the police arrested the Kurdish mayor of Kars Ayhan Bilgen, and transported him to Ankara by plane, Haberturk reports.
The Ankara General Prosecutor’s Office accuses seven key members of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) of organizing illegal rallies for Kobani, a primarily-Kurdish-populated town in Syrian, and “praising the terrorist organization.”
One of these seven members included in the case is the Turkish parliament’s Armenian member Garo Paylan, but the latter has parliamentary immunity. The Ankara Prosecutor’s Office has already started a process to stripping Paylan of his parliamentary immunity and arresting him.
Human rights issue is a big problem in Turkey, and NATO, EU, USA and other big countries play it dam and close their eyes and ears. It’s about time the world speaks up about the atrocities committed in Turkey with regards to human rights. Boycott Turkey if they don’t stop with the human rights issues. Kurdish people need to have their own country and Kurdistan needs to be created and Kurdish people need to live free, just like Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, and every other people that live in Turkey. Turkey should stop invading other counties and should start to care about it’s people that are suffering due to poverty and should treat all peoples living in Turkey equally and with respect.
