Fascist Turks protest ‘Kurdish people should apologise for Dersim massacre’
The National Party (Ulusal Parti) protested today in Turkey following the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyib Erdogan apology over the Dersim massacre where thousands of Kurdish civilians were systematically killed. The nationalist party held up banners saying, ‘We are with Ataturk’s ideology‘ and ‘People of Dersim should apologise to the state‘.
One of the signs held up says, ‘We are on Sabiha’s way’. Sabiha Gökçen was the adopted daughter of Attaturk and the first female pilot who was directly involved in the Dersim massacre with her Breguet 19, she dropped bombs from her plane killing children, women and men indiscriminately in 1937.
This illustrates that despite Erdogan’s apology, there are fascist people who are unwilling to acknowledge Kurdish grievances. One Kurdish writer, Nuri Dersimi whose daughter committed suicide while trying to escape from Turkish armed forces, and whose brother was killed by them wrote ‘All who tried to escape or sought refuge with the army were rounded up. The men were shot on the spot, the women and children were locked into hay sheds’, that were set fire to’.
Comments
I’m apologising TO THE HEROIC TURKISH ARMY/HOLY STATE/GLORIOUS NATION (CHILDREN of ATATURK) on behalf of those massacred in Dêrsim/Kurdistan:
“So sorry you had to spend 1.5 million bullets, countless amount of bombs + chemical weapons to slaughter us all! Sorry also that we were too many and it took your precious time during which you could well have committed a few more genocides elsewhere, occupying other lands, confiscating more property, raping more women and exterminating more villages in shorter time, with less ammunition.
My over 50 thousand – in 1938!! – fellow dead bodies, most of whom disappeared to the unknown (men bullet-riddled and thrown into the river; women/children rounded-up and burnt alive in haystacks), are deeply sorry that we caused so much inconvenience to your holy state and glorious nation.
We’re also angry at God because he created us in one of the lands that you, the heroic Turkish nation of eternal invaders, were going to conquer a few millenia later on. Forgive HIS recklessness in planning!
May God thunder our graves and burn the bones of those of us without graves; plague our living compatriots with cost-effective massacres!
May God also bless your glorious nation, holy state, heroic army, successive ruthless governments and international supporters!
Amen!”
