Ağrı Bar President: Law Enforcement Officers Killed Two Teenagers

Ağrı Bar President Ali Artuk, affirmed Muhammed Aydemir (15) and Orhan Arslan (16) were killed by law enforcement officers after an attack carried out on August 13 against gendarmerie station in Ağrı province of eastern Turkey. Artuk told the person captured dead was a member of PKK.

“Teenagers got killed in the woodshed"

Artuk told bianet:

“Those teenagers were working in a bakery at nights. Conflict broke out near the bakery. When they went to the woodshed to bring woods for the oven, they got killed. They had no political connections.

“It was claimed that teenagers got a sawn-off weapon near them but it was ambiguous.

“Dead bodies of the teenagers were sent to forensic medicine institution in Erzurum province and then will be taken by their families.

“They have no connection with HDP”

Artuk indicated Aydemir and Arslan had no connection with PKK or Peoples’ Democratic People (HDP).

“Governorship behaves in accordance with the state”

Artuk said he wasn’t surprised when Governorship of Ağrı announced “three terrorists were killed” and the governorship behaved in accordance with the state:

“The prosecution has no document right now. How does the Governor know the case although he hasn’t got the documents?”

“I heard from the prosecutor that there was no trace of struggle on the scene or force on the door.”

Governorship of Ağrı made a written statement and claimed two teenagers were not civilians.

Press and Public Relations Management of the governorship told bianet many media organs tried to reach Governor Musa Işın but he refused to answer due to “disinformation” reasons. The management stated the governorship already made a written statement. (EKN/BD)
