In der kurdischen Stadt Cizre, auf türkischem Staatsgebiet an der Grenze zu Syrien gelegen, herrscht Ausnahmezustand. Ganze Stadtteile liegen in Trümmern und ein Ende des Krieges ist nicht in Sicht. Immer wieder kündigte die türkische AKP-Regierung die erfolgreiche "Säuberung" der Stadt an. Die Bilder einer Stadt, die in Teilen mittlerweile Städten wie Kobanê ähnelt, prägen sich ein. Jedoch sind es die aktuellen Ereignisse, wie das Schicksal der bis zu dreißig in einem Keller in Cizre eingeschlossenen Personen, welche die Dimension des Krieges deutlich machen.

Erdogan’s new Kurdish allies

Ahead of the June 7 elections last year, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put the Kurdish settlement process on hold. Then, addressing a rally in Istanbul in September, he said, “Turkey has no Kurdish problem. Are the Kurds the only ones who have problems? The Lazes, the Circassians have problems too.” As recently as Jan. 6, Erdogan stood his ground. “Turkey has no Kurdish problem, but a terror problem. No one should try to palm it off on us as a Kurdish problem,” he said, referring to the rekindled conflict with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The president seemed to have utterly forgotten his landmark speech of 2005, when he told a big crowd in Diyarbakir, the hub of the Kurdish-majority southeast, that “the Kurdish problem is my problem” and promised to resolve it.

Dabei werden bei Menschenrechtsverletzungen in der Türkei gegenüber der kurdischen Bevölkerung großzügig beide Augen zugedrückt - trotz wachsender Kritik und erschreckender Bilder aus dem Südosten der Türkei in unseren Medien. Wegen eigener politischer Interessen schaut Deutschland nicht zum ersten Mal weg.

Video: Der Krieg der Anderen: Warum Deutsche gegen den IS in den Kampf ziehen

Denis Cuspert aka Deso Dogg, der Deutsche, der für den Islamischen Staat in den Kampf gezogen ist, ist inzwischen vielen ein Begriff. Hingegen weiß in einem Krieg— in den Deutschland nach den Anschlägen von Paris direkt und mit Waffenlieferungen an die Peschmerga, aber auch an Saudi-Arabien, den Irak und andere Golfstaaten mehr als nur indirekt beteiligt ist—kaum jemand um die deutschen Zivilisten, die im Norden Syriens gegen die Terrormiliz kämpfen.

Turkish TV channel probed for terrorism after caller says army 'killing babies

Turkish prosecutors on Monday said that they had opened a criminal probe into the Beyaz Show broadcast on Kanal D on Friday night and would also investigate the programme's producer and presenter for allowing the caller on the air.

The woman, who said she was a teacher named Ayse Celik from the Kurdish-dominated city of Diyarbakir, urged people to raise their voices against what she said was the killing of "unborn babies, children and mothers".

"Are you aware of what is happening in the east of Turkey?" the caller asked. "People are fighting with hunger and thirst, in particular the children. Please be sensitive and do not remain silent. Please have some kind of sensitivity as a human," she said.

Kanal D is owned by the Dogan Group, one of Turkey's biggest conglomerates, and the channel subsequently issued a statement denying the programme had broadcast "terrorist propaganda" although it said that it would take legal action against the caller.

"Our channel, which has always stood with the state against terrorism, is deeply saddened that it became the target of a provocation,” Kanal D said in a statement.

"Das Problem ist die Statuslosigkeit Kurdistans" - mit diesem Satz bringt der Co-Vorsitzende der pro-kurdischen Partei HDP, Selahattin Demirtas in einem Interview mit der größten kurdischen Tageszeitung in Europa, Yeni Özgür Politika (YÖP), die aktuelle Lage in den kurdischen Regionen der Länder Türkei, Syrien, Irak und Iran auf den Punkt:

"Die Frage bezüglich der Zukunft der Kurden und Kurdistan ist weltweit eine Frage des politischen Status bzw. der weltweiten Akzeptanz Kurdistans innerhalb der Internationalen Gemeinschaft. Die Kurden müssen unweigerlich einen politischen Status haben. Und dieser Status hat den Namen Staat..."

.........Erdogan said the operations would continue until the area was "cleansed" of the militants and their barricades and trenches destroyed.

"You will be annihilated in those houses, those buildings, those ditches which you have dug," he told a crowd in Konya. "Our security forces will continue this fight until it has been completely cleansed and a peaceful atmosphere established."

Ferhat Encu, a local deputy for the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), said the curfews there had "mutated into a process of destroying the towns", forcing people to flee.

Die Lage in den kurdischen Städten eskaliert. Die Bevölkerung befürchtet die Vorbereitung eines Massakers seitens des türkischen Militärs. Zehntausende Bewohner Diyarbakırs sind auf der Flucht.
Die Auseinandersetzungen eskalieren zwischen den Bewohnern und der türkischen Polizei und der Armee. Bewohner fürchten, dass eine größerer Angriff seitens des Militärs bevorsteht. Dafür gebe es einige Hinweise, berichten kurdische Medien.

In den kurdischen Städten (inkl. Gemeinden) Cizre und Silopi hat der türkische Staat am Wochenende 3.000 Lehrer zurückgezogen. Sie wurden auf unbestimmte Zeit freigestellt, die Schulen geschlossen. Per SMS des Bildungsministeriums wurden die Lehrkräfte dazu aufgerufen, aufgrund von "Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen" die Region zu verlassen und in ihre türkischen Heimatstädte zurückzukehren.

Es gibt auch Berichte darüber, dass türkisches Gesundheitspersonal zurückgezogen wurde. Andererseits wurden die Staatskrankenhäuser in einem offiziellen Brief angewiesen, ihr Personal und alle Materialien "bereit zu halten“.

"I hate this town. The people are poor and conservative," utters Mustafa, an English literature student, whilst the coach struggles on its way to Bingol. It crosses a long straight line of parapets with barbed wire, between which the Turkish military supervises any intrusion, fingers on the trigger. Then it lets off its group of students who, just like Mustafa, come from Diyarbakir and study in this Kurdish town of 267,000 inhabitants.

Two months earlier, five residents from Bingol drove the 150km separating them from the main Kurdish town in Turkey in the other direction.

On 26 October, at dawn, when police forces in Diyarbakir forced the door down, two of them triggered their suicide belts. The assault lasted seven hours. In the end, 15 people were arrested and seven, including five youngsters from Bingol, were killed. The governor from Diyarbakir later declared that this was a branch of Islamic State (IS).
