NEWSDESK, — German expert have remarked that Turkish warplanes have used chemical weapons against the Kurdish guerrillas of the PKK on 22-24 October.
Following the examination of photographs of the body of Ebru Muhikancı, a female guerrilla who was among those 36 who lost their life following the operation in Chele district of Colemerg on 22-24 October, well-known German military and secret service expert Erich Schmidt-Eenboom remarked that the Turkish army could have used new chemical weapons in Kazan Valley.
In an interview with ANF Eenboom said that the white stains seen on the photographs of Muhikancı’s body are the most remarkable proof of chemical weapons.Defining the photographs as “utterly terrifying”, Eenboom remarked that “The plenty of white stains and marks on the photographs are absolute evidence to the use of chemical weapons since these can’t be made by standard bombs.”
Mentioning the statements of HPG guerrillas who survived the bombardment in Kazan Valley, Eenboom commented the expressions of “a smell resembling the smell of fruit and milk” and “great nausea, sore throat and suffocation feeling after the bombs”.
Eenboom said that “These descriptions are beyond the effects of napalm or other bombs which do not spread that kind of smell. If survivors really felt this smell, a new kind of chemical weapon was used there with a high degree of probability.”
Pointing out that the Turkish army violated international conventions by using this kind of weapons, German expert commented that; “It seems that Turkey wants to display a show of force and give message to the states in the region by means of the fight against PKK.”
