Executions of Orhan Aslan (16) and Emrah Aydemir (15) by special operations teams in Diyadin district of Ağrı
Thursday, August 13, 2015 at 3:00 PM
AĞRI – ANF
Witnesses gave striking information on the executions of Orhan Aslan (16) and Emrah Aydemir (15) by special operations teams in Diyadin district of Ağrı.
Filiz Kahraman, who lives in the building above the wood storage where the two children were killed, said that her family members were beaten up during their arrest. She said police put on guerrilla clothes on the massacred children, and tried to do same on her family members detained there.
Witnesses of the massacres of Orhan Aslan (16), Emrah Aydemir (15) by special operations forces in the Atatürk neighborhood of Ağrı’s Diyadin district spoke to DİHA. Tensions remain high in the district where a man reported to be a HPG fighter also got killed and dragged behind a panzer in Murat Neighborhood.
Nihal Kahraman who lives in the building above the wood storage where the two children were killed, witnessed the whole incident. Kahraman said that her husband Feyzi Kahraman was outside tying down livestock at the time of the massacre, and was beaten up before getting arrested by special operations teams.
‘THEY BEAT UP AND ARRESTED EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE’
Kahraman said that her husband Feyzi Kahraman was near River Murat when they heard gunshots, and came to the house after the shooting ended. Kahraman said that a panzer came to the house and her husband turned off the lights of the barn out of fear. Special operations teams then took Feyzi Kahraman under custody and beat him with their guns until he passed out. Nihal Kahraman noted that she did not allow her son to leave the house because the police were shooting at everywhere randomly. The Kahraman family soon left their house in order to check up on Feyzi Kahraman, and heard more gunshots at that moment. Two children were retrieving wood from the storage unit of a bakery, and were both shot down by the police. The police then raided the house of Kahraman family, put a gun on Nihal Kahraman’s head and threatened to shoot her if she did not keep still. Kahraman stated that all men in the house were arrested brutally, and the children massacred in front of the bakery were known by the entire neighborhood.
‘POLICE TRIED TO PUT GUERILLA CLOTHES ON THE WITNESSES AS WELL’
Filiz Kahraman is another witness of the same incident and said that special operations teams first killed the two children and then put guerrilla clothes on their bodies. She noted that the police tried to put guerrilla clothes on her arrested relatives as well, and his brother-in-law Feyzi Kahraman resisted this police attempt. Police beat up Feyzi Kahraman for this reason.
Kahraman added that the police also forced her relatives Aytekin Kahraman, Rıdvan Kahraman, and Muhammed Kahraman to put on guerrilla clothes, but soon gave up on this idea because of the family’s reaction.
‘THEY WERE BOTH POOR FELLOWS’
Recep Birgül who owns the bakery where Orhan Aslan and Emrah Aydemir worked and got killed at, said that police targeted these two children purposefully. Birgül stated that he was with another baker friend of his at the time of the incident, and came to his bakery as soon as he heard about the massacre. Birgül noted that he had 7 employees including the slain children, who were both poor fellows trying to make a living. Birgül ended his statement by saying that Orhan had been working for him for 7 months, and Emrah was a student who was working during the summer to make some pocket money.
