“Some indirect evidence for possible violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention was found,” it said in its report.
Türkiye has rejected the claims that it used chemical weapons during its military operations. The HDP calls for an international investigation. The Turkish Medial Association head is facing an investigation following her comments supportive of the claims.
