GENEVA (Sputnik) — According to Turkdogan, Turkish justice is "not independent and unable to correctly assess the actions which can be considered as crimes against humanity."
"It is essential that the International [Committee of the] Red Cross sends a delegation to Turkey or a mission that will report on major damage and civil war underway in Turkey. It is essential that the international community notices the war crimes that the Turkish authorities commit in Turkish Kurdistan," President of the Human Rights Association Ozturk Turkdogan told RIA Novosti in an interview.
Turkdogan expressed his intention to meet the ICRC leadership later on Tuesday and raise the issue of sending the monitoring mission to Turkey, adding that a special mission on investigation from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights was likely to be discussed as well.
The Kurds comprise ancient tribal groups currently living in parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria.
