| Erbil (IraqiNews) Large swathes of farms in the bordering areas of the Kurdistan Region were destroyed on Tuesday during air raids conducted by ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... .The Mahmud Niheli, a media official from the area, told BasNews that the bombardments had no human causalities but caused "a huge damage" to the people from Sargale, Dere and Sgere villages. Most of the people from these villages are farmers and their plantations were destroyed heavily by the attack, Niheli explained. He added the offensive has scared the residents of the area who left their farms behind to save their lives. This week Amedi mayor, Rozhan Ismail Mustafa, called on the PKK guerrillas to stay away from the residential areas near the borderlines in order for the civilians not get hurt by Turkish strikes. Thousands of villagers from Kurdistan Region borders have been displaced due to the constant fight between PKK and Turkish army and several have bit the dust in the bombardments. |
