The official account of what happened, which conveniently brought in all the government’s adversaries, has already been shown to be riven with contradictions.
LAST Sunday’s fatal bombing in a busy Istanbul Street has raised echoes of Turkey’s violent pre-election period in 2015. Then, after bombs had killed more than 100 people outside Ankara Railway Station in October 2015, European Union investigators argued there was reason to believe that the government had commissioned the terrorists.
This, interior minister Suleyman Soylu, claimed, was the captured bomber, who had been sent by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and the Kurdish Syria-based Peoples Protection Units . While every new piece of evidence raises more questions over the Turkish government’s story, the biggest problem is that their main claim does not make any sense. In every crime we need to ask who benefits. In this case, the PKK and YPG would not only gain nothing from the bombing, they stand to lose a great deal from being associated with it.
Both want to see the Kurds discredited at home and abroad, and both would welcome the excuse created by this scenario to carry out an attack on Kobane.
