Ungeachtet der harschen Kritik Obamas und Putins an Erdogans Kurs gegen die Kurden beim G20 Gipfel in Ankara, hält Erdogan am Konfrontationskurs gegen die überwiegend kurdische Bevölkerung im Südosten der Türkei fest.

Laut dem Medium bestanuce wurde Erdogan eine Abfuhr in Sachen Sicherheitszone in der syrischen Grenzregion zwischen Kobane und Afrin erteilt. Der Westen hätte daran kein Interesse, solange die Türkei ihr Verhältnis zu den Kurden nicht geklärt hätte. Sie werden an der Unterstützung der PYD (die regierende Partei von Rojava) festhalten, heißt es in dem Artikel. Die Politik der Türkei gegenüber Syrien sei gescheitert. Die Türkei müsse nun in einem Schulterschluss klar an der Seite der Staaten stehen, die sich vom IS distanzieren und ihn bekämpfen.

Turkey's policy on ISIS is dangerous for the whole world

KCK Executive Council Co-President Cemil Bayık stated that the AKP government blackmails the whole world by legitimating and promoting ISIS.

Calling the world's attention to the effective battle of SDF led by YPG/YPJ against the ISIS, Bayık emphasised that; “SDF is capable of pushing the ISIS out of Jarablus within a short time. They can take Raqqa as well unless there happens a support to the ISIS from Turkey's side. International powers should remove this obstacle of Turkey.”

Bayık made significant evaluations in his column on Azadiya Welat and Yeni Özgür Politika dailies, in which he wrote about the elimination of Turkey's barrier in the fight against ISIS, the pro-ISIS mindset growing among the Turkish society and the Turkish state's multidimensional military and political attacks against the Kurdistan people.

The German state continues subjecting Kurdish political activists to repression and criminalizing Kurdish institutions, as a result of which 6 Kurdish politicians have been arrested this year.

At the moment, 8 Kurdish political activists remain in German jails under heavy circumstances. All these stand trial in accordance with the Article 129b, which requires a particular approval by the Ministry of Justice.

Lawyers for Kurdish politicians jailed in Germany did previously apply to the Ministry of Justice demanding the revocation of the particular approval for the implementation of Article 129b for Kurdish prisoners. The Ministry is, however, yet to answer the application.

Die Blockade trifft die Gesundheitsversorgung und gilt spezilell für das selbst verwaltete autonome Gebiet Rojava. Die Bundesregierung kümmert das nicht

Seit drei Wochen sitzen 13 internationale Helfer und Helferinnen in der kurdischen Autonomieregion fest. Die drei Frauen und zehn Männer aus Marokko, Tunesien und Deutschland wollen zur Fertigstellung des Gesundheits- und Sozialzentrums nach Kobanê. Sie führen nicht nur das dort dringend benötigte Material mit, auch die notwendigen Fachleute sind mit dabei. Die meisten Helfer und Fachleute haben sich für diesen Einsatz Urlaub genommen, alle arbeiten ehrenamtlich und tragen ihre Kosten selbst.

In einem Offenen Brief an Bundeskanzlerin Merkel bitten sie um Unterstützung:

"I hate this town. The people are poor and conservative," utters Mustafa, an English literature student, whilst the coach struggles on its way to Bingol. It crosses a long straight line of parapets with barbed wire, between which the Turkish military supervises any intrusion, fingers on the trigger. Then it lets off its group of students who, just like Mustafa, come from Diyarbakir and study in this Kurdish town of 267,000 inhabitants.

Two months earlier, five residents from Bingol drove the 150km separating them from the main Kurdish town in Turkey in the other direction.

On 26 October, at dawn, when police forces in Diyarbakir forced the door down, two of them triggered their suicide belts. The assault lasted seven hours. In the end, 15 people were arrested and seven, including five youngsters from Bingol, were killed. The governor from Diyarbakir later declared that this was a branch of Islamic State (IS).

Die Lage in den kurdischen Städten eskaliert. Die Bevölkerung befürchtet die Vorbereitung eines Massakers seitens des türkischen Militärs. Zehntausende Bewohner Diyarbakırs sind auf der Flucht.
Die Auseinandersetzungen eskalieren zwischen den Bewohnern und der türkischen Polizei und der Armee. Bewohner fürchten, dass eine größerer Angriff seitens des Militärs bevorsteht. Dafür gebe es einige Hinweise, berichten kurdische Medien.

In den kurdischen Städten (inkl. Gemeinden) Cizre und Silopi hat der türkische Staat am Wochenende 3.000 Lehrer zurückgezogen. Sie wurden auf unbestimmte Zeit freigestellt, die Schulen geschlossen. Per SMS des Bildungsministeriums wurden die Lehrkräfte dazu aufgerufen, aufgrund von "Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen" die Region zu verlassen und in ihre türkischen Heimatstädte zurückzukehren.

Es gibt auch Berichte darüber, dass türkisches Gesundheitspersonal zurückgezogen wurde. Andererseits wurden die Staatskrankenhäuser in einem offiziellen Brief angewiesen, ihr Personal und alle Materialien "bereit zu halten“.

.........Erdogan said the operations would continue until the area was "cleansed" of the militants and their barricades and trenches destroyed.

"You will be annihilated in those houses, those buildings, those ditches which you have dug," he told a crowd in Konya. "Our security forces will continue this fight until it has been completely cleansed and a peaceful atmosphere established."

Ferhat Encu, a local deputy for the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), said the curfews there had "mutated into a process of destroying the towns", forcing people to flee.

"Das Problem ist die Statuslosigkeit Kurdistans" - mit diesem Satz bringt der Co-Vorsitzende der pro-kurdischen Partei HDP, Selahattin Demirtas in einem Interview mit der größten kurdischen Tageszeitung in Europa, Yeni Özgür Politika (YÖP), die aktuelle Lage in den kurdischen Regionen der Länder Türkei, Syrien, Irak und Iran auf den Punkt:

Turkish TV channel probed for terrorism after caller says army 'killing babies

Turkish prosecutors on Monday said that they had opened a criminal probe into the Beyaz Show broadcast on Kanal D on Friday night and would also investigate the programme's producer and presenter for allowing the caller on the air.

The woman, who said she was a teacher named Ayse Celik from the Kurdish-dominated city of Diyarbakir, urged people to raise their voices against what she said was the killing of "unborn babies, children and mothers".

"Are you aware of what is happening in the east of Turkey?" the caller asked. "People are fighting with hunger and thirst, in particular the children. Please be sensitive and do not remain silent. Please have some kind of sensitivity as a human," she said.

Kanal D is owned by the Dogan Group, one of Turkey's biggest conglomerates, and the channel subsequently issued a statement denying the programme had broadcast "terrorist propaganda" although it said that it would take legal action against the caller.

"Our channel, which has always stood with the state against terrorism, is deeply saddened that it became the target of a provocation,” Kanal D said in a statement.
