24 persons who were murdered in Dersim massacre in 1938 have been laid to rest yesterday in the 79th anniversary of the Cabinet decision as to the massacre.

As a first decision on the "1938 Dersim Incidents", the Hoza Prosecution decided to drop procedures because "the crime of genocide was not constituted" and the case "fell under the statute of limitation". Lawyer Agyün: "We will appeal and go until the ECHR if necessary".
