NEWS CENTER - Relatives of the family massacred in Barkh Botan village said, "Where are the human rights institutions? The Turkish state must definitely account for these massacres."

 A Turkish drone attacked Barkh Botan village in Kobani, North and East Syria, killing a mother, father and 7 children. 2 people were also wounded in the attack. 
 
Speaking to Hawar News Ageny (ANHA) on behalf of the family, a citizen named Cihan Mistefa said, "Those who were massacred were civiliens. Children were massacred with their parents. The genocidal Turkish state has again carried out a brutal massacre. 
 
Cihan Mistefa said that the murdered family lived in the village to make a living and said, "We say to the Turkish state, enough of these brutal massacres. And in this state, the Turkish state talks about peace. Where is peace?"
 
REACTION TO HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS
 
Edle Heci said, "They burned our hearts during Ramadan. The Turkish state committed a brutal massacre against the civilian population. What does it want from civilians? Where are the human rights organizations? Can't you see the massacres happening in front of your eyes? Why are they silent about these atrocities? The Turkish state must definitely account for these massacres."
