The savagery of the Turkish state is not limited to the Kurdish regions of Turkey, however. During its cross-border operation in northern Iraq in March and April of 1995, disregarding international outcry, members of the Turkish armed forces massacred seven shepherds in Dahok in the same manner.
Do not misunderstand this message: This is not simply exterminating the Kurdish people, this is terminating humanity.
Halt This Savagery!
"The barbarism demonstrated by soldiers posing for photographs with the decapitated heads of those recently killed is wholly unacceptable to decent-thinking people across the world."
- Pauline Green, leader of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament
