"The families just demand the government to charge whoever is responsible after the Roboski massacre" told Şırnak, Uludere Mayor Fehmi Yaman to bianet.
"There might be a fault. We declared the fault, the apologies and the compensation. However, some people abuse this. We'll not tell the things that the terrorist organizations want us to tell" told Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"I watched the images provided by Turkish drones. It's not a region inhabited by people; it's a region of terrorism. There's a group composed of 30-40 people and mules. It's impossible to determine these people one by one. Turkish Armed Forces sincerely performed its duty"
"The families who lost their relatives just demand the government to detect and charge whoever is responsible for the massacre decision" told Yaman when we asked him about the "sincerity" of Turkish Armed Forces.
"This massacre cannot be covered by compensation. The compensation is transferred to bank accounts of the families however they did not withdraw and spend it. They will not withdraw them until the cases are closed"
"I did not give directions, the authority is Turkish Armed Forces"
"I learned about the bombing after the operation," told Prime Minister Erdoğan regarding the allegations that he decided the operation. He also talked about the news on Wall Street Journal:
"Certain media organizations support a different political opinion. This is also the case in America and Wall Street Journal. This is made-up news to put the current government into a difficult situation."
"We've already announced it. This is the primary duty of Turkish Armed Forces (TSK). We authorize our security forces; our soldiers, police officials and they excersize their authority. We authorized Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and TSK exercised this authority. Who will make the fight against terrorism if we do not trust in our Turkish Armed Forces, police officials? (AS)
