    Turks continue to silence the kurdish people. The whole world is silent while thousands of kurdish people are murdered and oppressed by the Edrogan and his “Justice Party”. When will the Kurdish people unite in to a ONE Force and fight the turks. My condolences to the families of those 3 women murdered by turks evil empire.
