The Conflict in Syria as it Relates to Turkey | Updates & Discussions

That kind of situation? This isn't PJAK:

"KDPI leader justifies attack on revolutionary guards, saying Iran is no ‘island of peace’

The leader of Iran’s Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDPI) defended the recent attacks on Iranian revolutionary guards by members of his party, dismissing claims that the action was against peace, saying that Iran’s peace was a product of “internal suffocation and dictatorship,”

“The Islamic Republic wants to show an Island of peace in the war zone of the Middle East by using force and violence against different voices inside the country including Kurds and other nations,” said KDPI leader Mustafa Hejri in a speech on Sunday. “They want to say the silence means satisfaction. That is not the true face of Iran.”."

So ... What do you think?

Turkish border guards kill 11 after 'firing indiscriminately' at Syrian refugees

Turkish border guards have reportedly shot dead nearly a dozen Syrian refugees, including children, as they tried to cross into the country.

At least 11 people were killed after they were “fired on indiscriminately” at the unofficial Khirbet al-Jouz crossing, around 30 miles south of the Turkish city of Antakya.

Many of the victims were from the same family, which had recently fled the northern Islamic State-held town of Jarabulus.

Local activists gave their names as Obaid al-Abo, 50, and his children; Hassan, six, Waed, 15, Walaa, 17, Fatoum, 20 and Amani, 21. His wife and another son were injured, they told the Telegraph.

Footage purportedly taken after the incident showed a woman weeping as she cradled the body of a young girl of around two years old, who appeared to have been shot in the stomach.

Another child is seen lying prone on the floor, covered by a blanket.

"Several families from the city of Jarabulus, north east of Aleppo and Idlib tried to cross the border on Saturday night towards Turkey," one activist said. "The guards opened fire on them indiscriminately.”

A senior Turkish official said they were so far "unable to independently verify the claims" regarding the shooting, but said authorities were investigating.

The Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence across Syria, said as many as 60 civilians have been shot dead by guards while trying to flee since the start of the year.

Ankara claims the country has an open-door policy for refugees trying to escape the civil war, however it has closed all legal crossings.

Last year Turkey, which is hosting some 2.7 million Syrian asylum seekers, shut its once-porous border, permitting entry only to critical medical cases.

The government has come under increasing pressure to stem both the tide of refugees reaching Europe and of foreign jihadists crossing the frontier.

As a result, an estimated 160,000 people who had fled fighting elsewhere in Syria are now trapped near the Turkish border living in makeshift camps.

The UN and other humanitarian organisations have condemned actions taken by Turkey against Syrian refugees, calling on the government to open its borders to thousands fleeing the bloody conflict in Syria.

A Human Right Watch report released last month accused Turkish border guards of regularly shooting and beating Syrian asylum seekers.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied the reports, and the army says it only fires at armed smugglers, not at civilians.

The incident casts fresh doubt on Europe’s migrant deal with Turkey, which some critics say should not be considered a “safe country” for refugees to be returned to.

“While senior Turkish officials claim they are welcoming Syrian refugees with open borders and open arms, their border guards are killing and beating them,” said Gerry Simpson, a senior refugee researcher at Human Rights Watch.

“Firing at traumatised men, women, and children fleeing fighting and indiscriminate warfare is truly appalling.”

@Bismarck
In reality, creation of PJAK was basically PKK's response(revenge) to Iran's attempts in warming up relations with Ankara and also cooperating with Ankara against PKK during the Khatami administration. PJAK was totally removed from Iranian soil in summer 2011. After that, PJAK has not been able to operate inside Iran. Although, Assad/Iran had similar interests with PYD in Syrian Civil war against Takfiri/Salafi/Wahabi groups, but it doesn't mean that Iran considers PKK/PJAK/PYD as an ally. At the end of the day, PKK wants to seperate parts of Iran which is obviously against Iranian interests. Also, considering the formation of SDF, and SDF being close to capture Manbij and Al-Bab, it provides a common area of inetersts for both Ankara and Tehran to start bilateral talks and even cooperation in Syria after 5 years. In reality, syrian civil war has resulted federalization of Syria and formation of a new Kurdistan under PKK/PJAK/PYD control, weakening of both MB and Assad, Takfiri/Salafi/Wahabi groups getting stronger, destruction of a trade partner of both Iran and Turkey, huge financial loses(because of refugees, and direct/indirect aids to warlords), losing influence of Iran and Turkey in Syria to Russians, gulfies, and, ... Also, after all, AKP is the unofficial MB of Turkey, and Iran is an MB inspired government. They are both progressive muslim nations (unlike reactionary Arab monarchies) and have much more interests in cooperation than enmity.

Yes indeed, Turkey is generous (and in my opinion,naive) enough to host 2.3 million refugees while the world watches on. You may show yourself out.

No such thing, army already refused the baseless allegations.
