    Mark Lowen Retweeted Demirören Haber Ajansı

    The gunman charged with shooting dead a Turkish diplomat in #Erbil is arrested. And pro-government news agency DHA blurs the Kurdish flag, as if that’s the most outrageous part of the story.https://twitter.com/dhainternet/status/1152576353104998400 …

        Apart from the outrageousness of the attack and the unacceptability of the killing of a diplomat, did you notice that it was mentioned that he is the brother of an HDP Diyarbakır MP? I don’t think that should be relevant or even ethical to mention unless he is a suspect himself

        They were decorating airports and Erdoğan's palace with this flag recently, when Barzani was coming to Ankara

        @marklowen @p_zalewski so, blurring a flag is more important news than a bloody terrorist killing a diplomat in a restaurant.. http://f.ck  off ..

        It illustrates the deep running racism that state has built into this country which is the source of all these conflicts today.

        @TheorePhysics so, it justifies killing diplomats ?

        Do know that Kurdish separtist groups in Turkey are considered terrorist by the US. Similar groups in Iraq and Iran are not.
