Two Kurd activists killed in Turkey

Ankara, July 27: Two men, apparently members of pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP), have been killed in southeastern Turkey near the Iraqi border, security sources say.

The bodies of Necman Olmez and Ferhat Edis have been found dead on Sunday near the town of Beytussebap in the southeastern province of Sirnak.

Turkish security forces have been searching for the two men from Saturday when local residents said they had seen unknown people arresting them on a road outside town.

Meanwhile, no official statement has so far been released over the killing as an investigation into the incident is underway.

Meanwhile, Ahmet Turk, chairman of DTP, said Monday that the ‘deep state’ was behind the murder of two party officials in southeast Turkey.
