Dear editor,
I have a few words on “Health-care crisis in Turkey : urgent actions needed”
As I know, Lancet is a prestigious medical journal. But, this time Lancet has been stretched
its limits. Although, the paper seems touching humanitarian topic, article has not been able to discriminate terrorism from human rights problem.
Have you ever heard the name Jean Charles de Menezes who was shot by snipers immediately following London bombings in July 2006? The reason for this shooting could anybody call up British government cease-fire against terrorist groups/attacks? It would be illogical.
Neither British nor Turkish government can not make peace with terror groups unless they
gave up terror.
In souteastern region of Turkey members of terror organisations under the name of PKK or YPG are in action against our constitutional system.
In Great Britain or at an another European country could it be possible to organize armed struggle against state rules? What would be the reaction against such revolt in your country?
In Turkey, PKK terror has been resulted in over 40 thousand death comprising mostly civilians, since 1984.
So, also in Turkey, government couldn’t let such a terrorist action. In other words,
Turkish government and security forces are simply trying to prevent terrorist actions
not only in southeastern region but also in the whole Turkish territory.
As mentioned, in the article, hospital hasn’t been transformed to fortress.
Security forces had no other choice in order to protect Cizre hospital.
In Great Britain or in an another European country it is possible to shoot someone in order to ensure security! Is it forbidden, to preserve integrity of country in Turkey?
Cant’t we have a security problem?
Is such a paradox acceptable?
