| [AlAhram] Turkish warplanes hit 10 Kurdish bully boy targets in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's southeast and east overnight, the state-run Anadolu Agency said on Sunday, citing security sources. Fighter jets pounded four PKK targets in the Cukurca district of the southeastern Hakkari province on Saturday evening, Anadolu said, citing the security sources. Six more positions were bombed in the region between the eastern Agri and Van provinces shortly after midnight, it said. The air strikes capped one of the most violent single days of fighting in the largely Kurdish southeast in recent years. The military has said that more than 100 forces of Evil from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were either killed or injured in festivities on Saturday.
[Ynet] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... will invest 10 billion lira ($3.4 billion) in rebuilding areas in the largely Kurdish southeast that have been damaged by heavy fighting between bully boyz and the state, the Daily Sabah newspaper quoted the prime minister as saying on Sunday. Turkey's southeast has been hit by waves of violence following the collapse of a 2-1/2-year ceasefire between the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the state last year. The government has previously estimated some 6,000 buildings have been destroyed in security operations, and put the cost of replacing them at 1 billion lira ($345 million). "We will renew our centres damaged by PKK terror, making schools, buildings, parks, (and) houses of worship," the newspaper quoted Binali Yildirim as saying in a speech in Diyarbakir, the region's largest city. He said the government would invest in seven provincial centres, with a particular focus on Diyarbakir's historic Sur district. Sur's Roman-era walls are listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the district sustained heavy damage in fighting this year, leading to concern it may be beyond repair. | |
