Turkey's Human Rights Association (IHD) has expressed concerns over
the continuing violence against ethnic Armenian women in Istanbul's
Samatia district, the Radikal reported.
In a statement following the Wednesday incident that saw an Armenian
woman assaulted and brutally injured, the organization says an
organized group may be behind the assaults.
The head of the Association's Istanbul department, Umit Efe was
quoted as saying that the chain of violent acts might be motivated
by racist policies.
"The signs are the same, with the targets being elderly, helpless
women. The death of Maritsa Kucuk and the assaults against the three
other women add to our concerns," he said.
The police, according to him, work day and night to resolve and
prevent the crimes.
"We expressed our concerns that the attacks occur repeatedly and pursue
an organized scheme. We will see to it that the cases are resolved,"
said Efe.
