Around 40 skulls that are believed to belong to the victims of unsolved murders in Turkey have been found in a cave in the southeastern province of Mardin the Kurdish Mezopotamya news agency said.
The Human Rights Association said they believed the skulls likely belonged to victims of the forced disappearances that took place in 1990s. İrfan Yakut, whose father disappeared after he had been detained in 1993, had seen a number of bones in the Gülbiş Cave system in a rural area of Dargeçit. He then applied to the Dargeçit Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office requesting further examinations.
The examinations determined that there were skulls and bones belonging to around 40 individuals, and sealed off the area to everyone except Yakut – who said that he had asked for further examinations to be carried out to determine whether any of the bones belonged to his father.
