Turkish security forces fire on protest in southeast

[Piling]

(Reuters) - Turkish security forces killed one person and wounded seven on Friday when they fired on a group of people protesting against construction of a new gendarmerie outpost in Kurdish-dominated southeastern Turkey, security sources said.

The incident happened in the village of Kayacik in the Lice district of Diyarbakir province, the sources said. It was not immediately clear why the protesters were opposing the new outpost.

Kurds protest since many weeks against the construction of that military camp, but they had no support from Western movements.

Not sure that they will receive more now. 'South-East' is another planet from Istanbul…

By the way on that video, Kurds ask Öcalan's freedom, no mention of the camp :

Kurds protest since many weeks against the construction of that military camp, but they had no support from Western movements.

Not sure that they will receive more now. 'South-East' is another planet from Istanbul…

By the way on that video, Kurds ask Öcalan's freedom, no mention of the camp

The west does NOT want to know about Ocalan - BUT - if Kurds UNITED and protested against the flooding of Hasankeyf that could get worldwide publicity - I know this because I was involved in the original campaign - we were on BBC News and other programs - we were in many newspapers and media outlets - at that time we did achieve a temporary hold on the project - many of those involved in that campaign were non-Kurds - many of the Kurds who were involved were from SK not NT even though there are many more Kurds from NK than SK in England

Kurds NEED publicity

Unless Kurds obtain POSITIVE PUBLICITY nobody is going to take ant notice of them

Kurds in NK are misguided and misinformed - they have been lead to believe the Ocalan/erDOGan lie of a peace plan with more freedom and rights for Kurds - the reality is that the EU has told Turkey that unless it grants Kurds more rights the negations for Turkey's membership will not progress - nothing at all to do with Ocalan negotiating for more rights - total rubbish

The bonus for Turkey is the fact that with the PKK on the retreat - Turkey is now able to speed up the destruction of Hasankeyf and the building of more military bases in NK - erDOGan is laughing at the Kurds

It is time that Kurds woke up to what is happening and the shameful way that a once proud and powerful spokesperson for Kurdish rights - Abdullah Ocalan - is being made use of to help Turkey assert control over the Kurds
