KURDISH REBELS SAY TURKISH NATIONALISTS PERPETRATED PARIS KILLINGS
January 11, 2013 - 19:57 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Kurdish rebels suggested on Friday, Jan 11 that
clandestine Turkish nationalists may have assassinated three Kurdish
activists in Paris, but Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said the killings
appeared to have been the result of an internal feud, Reuters reported.
The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) said the execution-style killings
in an institute in central Paris had been premeditated and planned
and warned France would be held responsible if it failed to get to
the bottom of their deaths.
Sakine Cansiz, a founding member of the PKK, and two fellow activists
were found shot in the head early on Thursday in an attack which
shocked the Kurdish community and overshadowed peace moves between
Turkey and the rebels.
Turkey put its missions in Europe, home to a large Kurdish diaspora ,
on alert and asked the French authorities to boost security around
its interests there, after the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party
(BDP) called for protest meetings.
