Turkey Destroys Evidence of Assyrian Genocide

 
Dara(Turkey) – ESNA — The mass grave found on the 17th of October 2006 outside the village of Dara in southeastern Turkey has been emptied of all remnants of bodies. When the mass grave was found the news agency DIHA took many pictures which showed a heap of skeletons in the grave.

The 21st of April 2007 the state-controlled news agency AA (Anadolu Ajansi) showed pictures of the grave totally empty of skeletons. Professor David Gaunt from Södertörn University (Sweden) is at the moment in Turkey to examine the grave.

The Turkish authority responsible for the handling of the massgrave issue, was unwilling to allow David Gaunt to visit the place of the massgrave. After the case had received attention in both the media and the Swedish parliament, the Turkish authority was forced to allow a visit to the grave.

The Turkish authorities’ recent actions can be compared to nothing other than the actions of a criminal, cleaning up all traces of his crime. When the Turkish authorities were forced to open the grave, they also, at the same time, decided to remove all the skeletons from the site.

According to the villagers and the mayor of the village where the grave was found, a lot of work has been done lately, in a frantic manner, in and around the massgrave. According to information from the villagers the Turkish authorities have removed all the remains of bodies, in order to clean up all the traces.
