Those bodies belong to people who lost their life during the conflict that took place in the 90s between Kurdistan Workers Party (aka PKK) and Turkish army. Those who died were killed by ‘unidentified’ people during the daytime, security forces never found attackers even though there were tangible evidences. Most importantly victims were not carrying arms; they were just civilians, journalists, intellectuals, politicians, businessmen. Today the whole media learned that attacks on civilians were conducted by Turkish authority.  Today another site was discovered in southeastern Turkey and hundreds of bones were found. As a result of these attacks on civilians, PKK was labeled as a terrorist organization by USA and EU. So, my question is, while the truth is being discovered, why we don’t change the role of PKK? Are they really terrorists? If they are terrorists, can anyone tell me what Turkey is?

Beginning of the 90s Turkish military killed hundreds of Kurdish politicians, human rights activist, journalist, students many spent years in jails and been tortured. Those who disappeared, were never returned to their home again, their bodies were never found, murderers were obvious but no one took a step against those unlawful actions. Recently a Turkish prosecutor ordered digging up several sites where it is believed those bodies were dumped after detention and torture.
