Kurdish villagers under fire in PKK-controlled Iraq say Turkey is ‘no different from Isis’
‘For the Turkish Kurds in northern Iraq, the bombing raids, abandoned villages and innocent lives lost are all-too-familiar tragedies.
On the outskirts of the Iraqi town of Makhmour on Sunday, two Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) soldiers stood guard outside a camp which has, over the years, twice become a ramshackle village of 12,000 refugees. It has provided sanctuary in Iraqi Kurdistan for Turkish Kurds who fled the worst days of Turkey’s internal conflict in the 1990s.
In the summer, the jihadists of Isis overran the camp – a warren of mud and stone houses. They were eventually ousted by Kurdish Peshmerga and PKK fighters, supported by US-led coalition air strikes.’
