Yaygılı köyünde yurttaşların topraklarına el konuldu

Villagers in Yaygılı village, whose lands were seized by Kasım Gülpınar and his relatives, reacted angrily to the incident, calling it an act of oppression. The villagers said, "What can we do? We're leaving here as seasonal workers. This time, we're being attacked in the west. We're Palestine, they're Israel." In Yaygılı (Teyşt) village, Siverek district, Urfa, AKP MP Kasım Gülpınar and his relatives allegedly seized citizens' land and transferred the deeds to their own names. Land disputes had previously occurred in previous years, but Kasım Gülpınar later stated that he sold some of his land to the villagers of Yaygılı for free and some for money. However, on August 7, Kasım Gülpınar's relatives arrived at the villagers' lands accompanied by gendarmerie officers with numerous excavators, tractors, and cars, and seized the villagers' land. It was learned that when the villagers who reacted to the incident appealed to the gendarmerie, the gendarmerie sent the villagers back, saying, "I have no authority."
