Three Women Executed In Paris: Kurdish Activist Dead To Undermine Peace Talks With Turkey and Ocalan

Three Kurdish activist were executed in Paris. Turkey's prime minister believes the feud among Kurdish rebels were the caused of the shooting deaths of the women. Turkey officials believe the executions were an attempt to undermine peace talks with their jailed leader who is in holding.

The murders shocked the Kurdish community in France when the activists were found including the founding member of the Kurdistan Workers Party, also known as PKK. Turkish officials are being accused of the Kurdish executions, but they claim the slayings were caused by an internal feud. 

On Friday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that the slain women must known the killer, because that would be the only way to enter the locked Kurdish Center, which required a code, "It's not something that people who don't know the code can open," Erdogan told journalist aboard his plain heading to Sengal. "Those three opened (the door). They wouldn't open the door to people they don't know."

In a statement the PKK condemned the killings saying it was an "attempt to undermine" talks between Turkey and Ocalan. The statement continues blaming the death on "international powers"  adding, "the killings will not remain without a response."

Currently, Turkey is in  the middle of peace talks with Kurdistan Workers Party, in order to seek self-rule for Kurds in the country's southeast, a conflict dating back to 1984.
