A Kurdish satellite channel alleges the discovery of a mass grave in southeastern Turkey, which holds the remains of former members of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
There are two women among the 12 bodies found at the site located in a village in the city of Diyarbakir, Newroz TV reported on Friday.
It claimed that they had been killed by the Turkish military in 1993.
PKK, which is known as a terrorist group by much of the international community, has been fighting Ankara since 1984 for an independent state in the southeastern Turkey.
The channel — which is linked to the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), a PKK offshoot — accused the military of trampling on humanistic standards in its battle against the Kurds by leaving behind ‘hundreds’ of such graves.
Those killed allegedly did not have any weapons as they had just joined the ranks of the separatists.
