I share some satellite images from destroyed Kurdish villages. Here Bağarası, Mardin. Everybody can see the destroyed villages on google earth, but nobody cares enough from the @UN to punish the ones who destroyed them. No judge or soldier got prosecuted so far for these actions. Image
Not identified by google. In Mardin. Most ruins are identified by google from old maps, probably. From the maps they probably add the coordinates in a system and the village has a name. Image
A village where you se very well that before the village was rather big and with many streets, and today... Also not identified by google. In Mardin. Image
Taşıt,Mardin, has also been bigger in the past. Today a few people live there among ruins of destroyed houses. Image
Pirinçli, a village where you see well, that the Turks erased a whole village (left in image). Image
The village Kuruçay, an other image where you see the former streets of a village but no houses anymore. How many people must have left? What were they feelings? Where did they go? Image
Bei Dikili, Sanliurfa. Ein Dorf wurde zerstört (links im Bild), ein anderes aufgebaut. Zerstörte Ortschaften findet man vor allem in Kurdistan. Um Izmir, Trabzon etc. lebten Griechen, deren Orte wurden von Türken erobert und renoviert. Die Kurden durften nicht in ihre Orte zurück Image

What happened here? Is there any investigation by the Turkish government?

Are investigations by Kurdish scholars allowed? Image

I can go on for weeks like this. I can post 10 destroyed villages per day for a year, and I wouldn't get to an end.
All visible on google earth, for free. Also for the @UNESCO and the @UNHumanRights, the @EUCouncil ... Image
Yellice, Sivas, Kurdistan

Nice example on how the Turks destroy Kurdish cultural heritage to build homes for Turkish loyalists right beside their destructions, to remind them how it can end if they oppose the Turks. Image
Unknown, Sivas, Kurdistan

Seen at google earth. Image
Here the full map. Maybe some villages are marked wrong, but yellow means a little destroyed and violet means very destroyed. The map of weeks or months. google.com/maps/d/viewer?…
