Yüksekdağ: AKP must prove that it is not involved in attack on Kobanê
ANKARA (DİHA) - HDP Co-chair Figen Yüksekdağ said that the Turkish government must prove that it is not involved in the attacks on Kobanê.
People’s Democratic Party (HDP) Co-chair Figen Yüksekdağ held a press conference in the party headquarters regarding the ISIS attacks on Kobanê this morning. Yüksekdağ said that the Turkish government must prove that it is not involved in the attacks, and failure to do so would show the truth in the accusations and claims of the Kurdish forces.
'Aattacks on Kobanê were planned as an act of revenge'
Yüksekdağ stressed that the Turkish government could accept neither the electoral success of HDP nor the military success of YPG/YPJ forces in Girê Sipî. HDP Co-president added that the attacks on Kobanê were planned as an act of revenge.
'The government is responsible'
Yüksekdağ further stressed that the support of the Turkish government to ISIS gangs has been documented several times so far, and said that the government is responsible for proving that it has not been involved in the attacks. Yüksekdağ said that Kurdish forces did not have the responsibility to prove that today’s attack was carried out with the support of the Turkish government.
'Turkish authorities are responsible for massacre in Kobanê'
Yüksekdağ also said the Turkish government was not disturbed by having a border with ISIS gangs, but is disturbed now due to the liberation of Girê Sipî. Yüksekdağ added that Turkish authorities have expressed their distress at the success of YPG/YPJ in Girê Sipî many times, and that it is those authorities that are responsible for today’s attack on Kobanê.
