PARIS,— French police’s investigation into the 2013 assassination of three Kurdish women politicians in Paris’ Kurdish institute is complete. If there is no objection from the parties involved within one month, a trial will begin in the case.
An attacker entered the Kurdistan Information Center in Paris on January 9th, 2013 and killed Sakine Cansız (among the founders of the PKK – Kurdistan Workers’ Party), and Kurdish activists Fidan Dogan and Leyla Soylemez.
According to L’Express magazine, the judge in the case has announced that “there is nothing left to investigate.” If there are no objections from the victim’s family or from the suspected killer Omer Guney within one month, charges will be filed in the case and a trial will begin.
Although the Turkish intelligence service MIT is strongly suspected of organizing the killing, there is so far no plan to charge the forces who organized the attack. Omer Guney will be the only suspect on trial. Xavier Nogueras, lawyer for Omer Guney, said to AFP that if no evidence emerges for MIT’s responsibility, the suspected killer will have been “put in front of judges as a figure.”
There is strong evidence for MIT’s planning of the killing. Omer Guney repeatedly visited Turkey in 2012, and in January 2014 a tape leaked onto the Internet in which the suspect discusses and plans the killing with two MIT agents. Shortly thereafter, a MIT document leaked: an order to kill Sakine Cansız and an order to issue Omer Guney 6,000 Euros for “possible expenses.”
The AKP and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for their part, have taken to blaming the Gülen Society and the “parallel structure” for the killing.
French and Turkish intelligence services have refused to share information related to the killing and the investigation has been denied permission to include MIT.
