WASHINGTON, — A number of Kurdish, Armenian and Greek civil society organizations in the United States wrote a letter to the House of Representative demanding an investigation on the use of US-supplied armaments in Roboski Massacre in which 35 civilian Kurds were killed on December 28, 2011.
Kurdish National Congress of North America, Kurdish Human Rights Watch (KHRW), American Kurdish Information Network (AKIN), Armenian National Committee of America and American Hellenic Institute sent a joint letter on the Roboski slaughter to the US Congress, US Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense inspection commission members.
The letter demanded an official investigation against the government in line with the complaints about the violation of Arms Export Control Act which prohibits the usage of US-supplied arms against civilians.
The letter pointed out to the fact that the attack was carried out by Turkish F-16 warplanes on the basis of intelligence provided by unmanned air vehicles sold by the United States.
