NEWS CENTER - Germany Left Party MP Gökay Akbulut, who applied to the OPCW, wanted Turkey's chemical weapons crimes to be investigated, while the German government gave the duty of investigation to the OPCW in a parliamentary question on the subject.
 
Condemnations against Turkey's use of chemical weapons in HPG areas in Southern Kurdistan continue. Despite the images released, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has not launched an investigation so far, while German Left Party MP Gökay Akbulut made an attempt to take action for the OPCW. Sending a letter to Germany's representative in OPCW, Ambassador Thomas Schieb, Federal Assembly Member Gökay Akbulut drew attention to the report of the International Doctors Association Against the Atomic War (IPPNW) regarding Turkey's chemical weapons crimes and the images of guerrillas affected by chemical weapons.
 
'A INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION CONDITION'
 
Pointing to the existence of much information and findings regarding the use of chemical weapons by Turkey, Gökay Akbulut said:"An independent investigation on this issue is now essential. Turkey has been a party to the Chemical Weapons Treaty since 1997. The addressee organisation is therefore OPCW. We demanded that the OPCW take action."
 
GERMANY GAVE THE DUTY OF INVESTIGATION TO OPCW
 
Responding to the parliamentary question of Left Party MP Andrej Hunko on the subject, the German government also gave the duty of investigation to the OPCW and said: "Turkey is within the OPCW's monitoring mechanism."
 Katja Keul is Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the German government gave a short written response: “We are aware of the IPPNW (International Association of Doctors Against Atomic War) report and the statement of the Turkish Minister of Defense regarding the use of tear gas, but we know that the government has obtained other information from its own resources. there is no information. Turkey signed the Chemical Weapons Ban Treaty on April 29, 1997. When Turkey became a party to the agreement, it declared that it did not have any chemical weapons in its inventory. OPCW decides whether the agreement is complied with and Turkey, as a party country, is within the monitoring mechanism of this organisation."
