Images and videos surfaced this past weekend that appeared to show an armored police vehicle dragging the body of a Kurdish man tied by the neck to the back of the vehicle. Much of the state-controlled media in the country quickly questioned the authenticity of the footage, though also said it was likely done as a safety precaution. The pro-AKP Aksam daily claimed that dragging bodies was a “routine practice” that is performed across the world as a security precaution, for dead bodies suspected of being booby-trapped.

“Security Precaution”? And how intelligent is that, dragging the so-called booby-trapped body through residential streets. My condolences to the victims family.RIP.
The dragged body image is most likely to be photoshopped because Neocons want to take advantage of AKP’s stupidity when it comes to Foreign Policy, so Neocons, War Hawks and other groups can implement the evil Sevres Treaty via the Greater Middle East project. This is just a plot to glorify the PKK because the Neocons want to break the brotherhood between Kurds and other various diverse ethnic groups in the Turkish Republic’s borders. All ethnic groups in Turkey have a right to unite against Neocons and War Hawks.
Is there a sale on tinfoil at Costco or something?
This is the war which officially declared against the Kurds by the Turks since 1923,
There’s a big differences between Kurds and the PKK. PKK and Kurds are 2 separate entities. Many Kurds have fought and died for the Turkish Republic, like Turkey’s many various ethnic groups inside it’s borders and are still on the frontlines of protecting the Turkish Republic from PKK terrorists created by Western Imperialism. PKK is just a tool of Imperialism and many Kurds are against the PKK. Infact you got 2 Presidents of Turkey that were Kurds (Ismet Inonu and Turgut Ozal). The guy who heads MIT is a Kurd (Hakan Fidan). Also Turkey’s top cleric is a Kurd (Mehmet Gormez). The MHP Deputy Leader Oktay Vural could possibly be a Kurd too (since he is from Diyarbakir). There were also many Kurds openly supporting the Turkish army after PKK killed many soldiers are few weeks back. Check the facts, period.
