"Mr President, we are shocked by the pictures and the news that have been reaching us since Monday of last week from many Kurdish towns, but mainly from Diyarbakir. The resemblance to the sort of pictures we get from Gaza or from West Jordan is astonishing. So far, 11 people have been killed by the Turkish security forces, the youngest of them being a three-year-old child.
Hundreds of people have been injured, some of them severely, while hundreds have been imprisoned. This situation must be prevented from escalating further. Prime Minister Erdogan’s statements, to the effect, for example, that ‘Our security forces will take whatever action is necessary against all those who make themselves the instruments of terrorism, even if they are women or children’ do nothing to help achieve a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish problem.
I ask the Commission, and you, Mr Borrell, to contact Mr Beydemir, the mayor of Diyarbakir, and I demand that an
delegation be assembled and despatched to examine in detail what has happened in the affected areas."@en1
