    Medical workers have been among the recent victims, says Fadime Kavak with the Turkish Medical Chamber. The latest casualty was Abdul Aziz Yural, a nurse who was shot by a sniper while treating a neighbor in the town of Cizre.

    Another nurse, Eyup Ergen, was killed by a sniper while trying to get home, she adds. In addition, “an ambulance driver, Seyhmuz Dursan, was killed, also by a sniper, while out on an emergency call.”

    Turkish officials deny that their forces target health care workers or civilians. With much of the conflict zone locked down, independent confirmation is extremely difficult.

    Et une très belle analyse sans doute empruntée à son voisin Bachar :

    “Turkey doesn’t have a Kurdish problem,” Ergodan said. “Turkey has a terrorism problem.”
