The Turkish government supported terrorists attacked another anti-government rally on October 10 in the nation’s capital, Ankara. At the time of writing the death toll has reached 97.
The state organized terror against the people rallying for peace was planned near the popular and crowded central train station in Ankara where the crowds hoping to bring peace to the nation were gathering. The attorneys for the progressive Peoples’ Houses said around 10 rounds of gun shots were heard right after the two bomb blasts took the lives of more than 90 people. Police who were not present at all during or prior to the blasts immediately raided the square with armored vehicles and started pepper spraying the wounded, the victims and those who were at the rally. Ambulances came very late to the incident and there were no security measures taken prior to the meeting.
In Van, a Kurdish town, people protesting the state terrorist attacks both in Kurdistan and in the West of Turkey clash with the police. Gathering for the demonstration, the police was able to arrest two early comers before the masses showed up. No charges, of course, were filed for the arrests. The arrested were pushed into an armored police vehicle and taken away, their fate still unknown.
Pro-Kurdisih, progressive leftists HDP (Peoples Democratic Party – PDP) Van representative in the Grand National Assembly took the stage to accuse Erdogan, the president, of the biggest terrorist massacre in its history.
After the mass participation in the rally, people of Van started marching towards the city center. The crowd staged a sit-in at the crossroads to the city center. However this peaceful protest was confronted with the Turkish police attacking the sitting people with pepper sprays, water cannons and blasts. People in response tried preventing the police attack by throwing rocks and sticks to the cops. Clashes continued in the side streets until police had to retreat.
In Erzurum, a crowd protesting the state massacre of its own citizens marched and shouted the most popular slogan in Turkey these days, “Murderer Erdogan.”
In other Kurdish towns Of Cizre, Mardin, Adiyaman, Antep, Igdir, Bitlis, Mus, Kars and Hakkari, the state terror was protested with mass demonstrations where people demanded freedom to the Kurds, brotherhood between the peoples of Turkey and an end to the state dictatorship of Erdogan.
In the West, as well as the East, the murder of nearly 100 people marching for peace by the government was protested loudly. In towns and cities across the nation such as Canakkale, Yalova, Kocaeli, Tekirdag and Antalya staged demonstrations at the time of writing calling Erdogan a murderer. Demonstrators called for peace against the civil war the government is waging against its own Kurdish citizens and all progressives.
In Mersin where a huge number of Kurds were forced to migrate after the Turkish state’s terror and forced migration policies were in effect in the 1990’s, Kurds and Turks joined hands to protest the government massacre. The crowd chanted, “Murderer Erdogan, Murderer JDP, Murderer ISIL” referring to the collaboration of the Turkish state, the government and the president Erdogan with the ISIL jihadist mobs that the Turkish state supports in Syria.
