Kurds complain to UN office in Yerevan about Turkish policy

In Shaumyan Square in Yerevan, about 50 Kurdish women and children organized a protest action demanding to "stop the genocide of the Kurdish people in Turkey."

The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports that the protesters marched from Shaumyan Square to the UN Office in Yerevan, where they handed a letter addressed to Bradley Buzetto, the head of the Office.

Activists are chanting: "Freedom for Öcalan!" (Leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party) and "No to female genocide!" In their hands, they hold portraits of the Kurdish women, killed by Turkish militaries.

Full text of the article is available on the Russian page of 24/7 Internet agency ‘Caucasian Knot’.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
