On 11 May 1999, in a cave near Balikaya in southeastern Sirnak, 20 PKK fighters were killed in an armed clash with the Turkish military. Site remains a grenade were found that were the Red Crescent handed over to a German TV journalist. An analysis of forensic medicine at the University of Munich have been evident traces of CS gas grenade at the ruins. According to the German television news program "sign D" the grenade type RP707 was produced by the German firm Buck & Depyfag and delivered since 1995 in Turkey.
Takes a long while for the TRUTH to come out
This gas use was documented on video [1], where you can hear, like a soldier tells about radio. "Due to the used gas grenade inside the toxicity hazards for our soldiers." He continued: "We have waited a day, but the effect of the gas continues. "[2] in the video you can see that the soldiers entered after using the cave and the terrain in front without protective clothing. [3] this tends to suggest that the course was tear gas and not a more deadly nerve gas
CS gas is tear gas. In high concentrations, especially in enclosed spaces, it can be fatal. After the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) may indeed tear gas during demonstrations, but are not used in armed conflict. So here is an forensically proven violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention, which Turkey ratified in 1997. "
Recently, suspicions have re-emerged that the Turkish military has been using chemical weapons
in its fights against the Kurdish organisation PKK. Between 22 and 24 October 2011, 36 PKK
fighters were killed during a Turkish military operation in the Kazan Vadesi region (near Çukuca,
Hakkâri Province). One survivor and local residents reported that chemical agents were used
during the operation.
