Kurdish party DTP official Emine Ayna, “You too know how to kill children”
Kurdish Party vice president Ms. Emine Ayna criticized the hypocrisy of the Turkish prime minister Mr. Erdoğan when he told the Israeli president Perez that Israel’s know how to kill little children.
Giving a speech during the opening of an election office in Elaziğ, a Kurdish populated eastern town in Turkey, Ms. Ayna said the Kurdish people had been suffering just like the Palestinians. She recited what the Turkish prime minister had said when in March of 2006 the Turkish forces killed 11 people, 4 of them children during the traditional Kurdish new year, or Nevruz, celebrations. Then, Erdoğan had said, “Even if they are children or women we will do what we have to do.”
“We are saying to the ruling party JDP (AKP): You too know how to kill little children. Weren’t you the ones saying ‘those who want freedom will get what they deserve even if they are children or women’? How can you now say to Israel that they are killing children? The only people who can accuse Israel of these atrocities are the Kurds because Kurds are the people who are suffering from the same pains that the Palestinians are experiencing. That is why we feel the very pain of Palestinians deep down in our hearts. Kurdish people are suffering from the very same misery the Palestinians are facing. We are dying from the same bombs. That is why we tell you: Before giving advice to others first do your own house cleaning.”
