İSTANBUL- Adnan Elma took the bones of her PKK fighter sister from the cemetery of the nameless and burried in their village as he has never seen his sister, but he has been grown with the tales of her. 

 

288 deceased bodies belonging to PKK fighters were taken out of Garcan Cemetery in the Yukarı Ölek village of Bitlis city and were brought to İstanbul Forensic Medicine Institution for the DNA examination. With the DNA samples taken from the families, the deceased bodies were burried in Kilyoz Cemetery for the Nameless in Zincirlikuyu, İstanbul. In the mean time, 18 families have found their lost ones.

 

One of the bodies belongs to Nadire Elma (Nalin), who has joined to PKK in 1991 and was killed in September 1 2007. The ceseased body of Nadire Elma has been brought to Eski Hisar (Marine) village, the village she was born and raised in Nusaybin, Mardin.  Her brother Adnan Elma expressed his feelings, "I have burried my sister's bones, whom I have never seen before. This is such an unprecented incident that not even experienced in Hitler's time. Which conscience can accept such a cruelty of attacking the people with bombs, who are already dead?"

 

Adnan Elma also called for the other families: "Do not be afraid. Take the deceased bodies of your family. This system has always committed the same incidents. AKP government has increased such unfair incidents even more. The fact that they are buried in the cemetery of the nameless does not mean that they are nameless. Do not be afraid and claim the bodies of your lost ones."
