While the anger against massacre which was carried out by the state through counter-guerrilla on 12 September in Amed grows, the state is trying to put the blame onto PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) despite the claiming of responsibility by a fascist organisation called TIT, (Turkish Revenge Brigadier), affiliated with JITEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence Organisation).
The massacre is being protested with `silent` marches in Istanbul, Amed, Ardahan, Mersin, Antep, Van and Ankara.
On the 16th of September, ten thousand people who came together in Amed-Kosuyolu Park, where the massacre was carried out, by the call from DTP (Democratic Society Party) and 32 other organisations have also organised a march demanding finding of the perpetrators of the attack. The march which was wanted to be organised in the city of Van is banned by the police. The masses read out their statement in Garaj Onu following the police intervention to their march behind the banner "We condemn Diyarbakir massacre" towards the Shopping City.
In Ankara, 150 people from DTP, EMEP , ESP , SDP , IHD and many other democratic mass organisations protested the massacre by a demonstration from Yuksel Street to Sakarya Street.
While the march which was wanted to be organised by DTP in Istanbul is prohibited by the police, the people from DTP have protested the prohibition and the massacre by a sitting-down action.
ESP has also protested the attack by organising a picket in Istanbul/Galatasaray. In their press statement, it was said that despite the Turkish Revenge Brigadier's claiming of responsibility, the state tries to divert attentions towards other targets, and that the Kurdish people who struggle for honourable peace and other democratic rights will come out of this surrounding in spite of all attacks. It was also said that we as the Turkish people and the revolutionaries and socialists of this people will be together with the Kurdish people and ask account from the killers and the counter-guerrilla state with our consciousness on the peoples` brotherhood and united struggle.
