Two people found tragic deaths from the fires raging for 7th day in different areas of Turkey While the “unknown” organization called “Children of Fire”, who claims to have ties with the PKK, has taken responsibility for dozens of arson in various parts of the country.
An 81 -year -old man is one victim of the fires, who was alone at home when the flames wrapped it. Shortly afterwards, an excavator operator, Ibrahim Demir, was killed while involved in fire extinguishing operations in the area of Endeomiz, Turkey, anadolu agency reports.
An organization that calls itself “children of fire” took responsibility for “dozens of fires in six Turkish cities”, according to a statement posted online.
This organization is not particularly well known. He argues that it is linked to the Kurdistan Labor Party (PKK), which is considered a “terrorist organization” by Turkey, the US and the EU.
The PKK, which last May that it is ending the 40 -year -old guerrilla war and will be resolved, has made no comment so far.
