Turkish authorities’ destruction of a condolence house built by Yazidis, who were forced to migrate in 1980s and returned recently in Kaleli village in Nusaybin district of Mardin province draws ire.
A condolence house of Yazidis was torn down by Mardin Metropolitan Municipality which was appointed a trustee last year, on Saturday. Destruction of the house by municipal units recorded by the villagers by their phones. Pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Mardin deputy Ali Atalan has also confirmed the demolition.
According to a report by pro-Kurdish Fırat news agency (ANF), Yazidi House in Cizre district and Yazidi Union in Afrin province of Syria released a joint statement and condemned the destruction of the condolence house in Kaleli village.
“The barbaric practices of the Turkish state are not just confined to one sphere of Yazidi life. All spheres of the Yazidi society, people, monuments, nature, are under attack from the Turkish state,” read the statement.
Reminding that Turkish military blew up the building of the Afrin Yazidi League and the statue of Lalesha Nurani, the statement condemned the destruction of the Kaleli condolences house and stated that is “violates human values and international principles.”
The statement underlined that demolition took place during Ramadan and added that “The aim of these attacks is to eliminate any trace of the Yazidi culture and cult and force the Yazidi people to emigrate.” The statement has also called on all concerned parties and the United Nations to stop the attacks and oppression by Turkish government.
