You have recently heard that #Turkey used mercenary groups in Syria, Libya and now #NagornoKarabakh conflict.
Bu I want to remind you that #Turkey / Ottomans always used mercenary groups as a part of their ethnic cleansing operations in Middle East, Kurdistan & Anatolia.

A mercenary group called "Gecici Koy Koruculari" (Security Village Guards of Turkey) was founded in 1985.
Turkey started to force Kurdish villagers to become a member of this criminal unit fight PKK or their villages would be torn down by Turkish military (I am an eyewitness).

Overwhelming majority of Kurds rejected to join Turkish mercenary groups (GKK) to fight #PKK (Kurdistan Worker' Party).
Human rights groups say Turkish regime forces destroyed as many as 4,000 villages and hamlets and displaced hundreds of thousands of Kurds in 1990s.
