Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım addressed the governors of 81 provinces, ordering further massacres along Turkey's borders.

Speaking at the Governors' meeting in Ankara, Yıldırım stated that they have entered a new process with regards to the war policies they call “counter terrorism”. Reiterating the order he recently gave to the troops in Hakkari, Yıldırım said: “This is a process of offensive, not defense”.

The Prime Minister of Turkey instructed new Roboski massacres, saying; "We will secure our border gates. Every crossing from outside the border gates is an enemy crossing that will be retaliated immediately. Such a crossing is an unlawfulness and a crime, against which what is necessary will be done, in the same manner the attacks of enemies are retaliated.”

Yıldırım also mentioned the legal arrangement that enables the appointment of trustees to DBP-held municipalities in the Kurdish region. He said; "The terror-affiliated party argues that they will start popular resistance if the municipalities get interfered. Turkey is a state of law and nobody is superior to law. If the court summons them to testify, they will go there willy-nilly."
