Re: Kurdish-Turkish Clashes

Will Erdogan execute Abdullah Ocalan?

Turkish Supreme Court hinted to the possibility of issuing a death sentence against Abdullah Ocalan, the prominent Kurdish leader and founder of Kurdistan’s Workers Party (PKK) if his followers continue their armed rebellion in southeast Turkey. Speaking in the annual meeting or provincial prosecutors, the Turkish general prosecutor said if the imprisoned Kurdish leader insists on stirring the revolt in the predominantly-Kurdish areas, his life imprisonment verdict might be annulled and eventually replaced with a death sentence by next Augustus. In a massage directed from his imprisonment to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ocalan lashed out on the former’s strategy in dealing with the Syrian crisis and war against ISIS, stressing that Turkey’s current foreign policy will definitely lead to catastrophic repercussions in the already-chaotic Middle East region.

NATO is a pain in the ass. A lot of countries want payback vs turkey and would be willing to intervene against it if not for NATO backing it up. This execution would undoubtedly bring more militants against turkey.

Five soldiers killed, 14 wounded in PKK attacks in Turkey’s southeast

Five soldiers were killed and 14 others were wounded in separate attacks by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey’s southeastern provinces of Mardin and Hakkari on May 18.

Four soldiers were killed and nine others were wounded when PKK militants detonated an improvised explosive device buried under the asphalt road stretching between Aktütün and Beyyurdu near Turkey’s border with Syria.

The blast occurred during the passage of two armored army vehicles at 2:05 p.m., around 70 kilometers from the center of the Şemdinli district of Hakkari.

One of the vehicles was said to be mine-resistant and seated 13 personnel, and initial reports claim that at least one ton of explosives was used in the attack.

At least four soldiers were killed immediately, while nine wounded soldiers were transferred to the Hakkari Military Hospital for treatment, an official statement released on the website of Turkish Armed Forces said. Four of the soldiers sustained severe injuries, according to the statement.

A large-scale air-borne operation was reportedly launched in the area to apprehend the militants.

In an earlier incident, one soldier, identified as Sergeant First Class Anıl Gül, was killed as a PKK sniper shot at him with a Kanas-branded sniper rifle during an operation on Tunç Street in Diyarbakır’s Yenişehir neighborhood.

Later in the day, the PKK staged a bomb attack in the same neighborhood, this time on Reyhan Street. An improvised explosive device was reportedly detonated with a remote control during the passage of security officials.

Five soldiers were wounded in the attack and were taken to the Nusaybin State Hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, the governor’s office in Mardin released a statement announcing that a total of 385 PKK militants have been killed so far in military operations carried out in the restive Nusaybin district since March 13.

A total of 385 militants have been killed, 371 barricades have been removed, 950 improvised explosive devices have been destroyed as of May 18, the office said, adding that 62 security officials were killed in the process.

“In addition, 1,621 citizens were moved to safe zones,” it stated, also providing statistical figures on the services provided to residents of clash-hit regions in terms of healthcare and nutrition.
