Kurdish Cities Sustain the Highest Loss

Turkish Ministry of Defence has published the statistics of dead security forces. Oral Çalışlar recently wrote an article about it. Of course, the data wasn't published widely in Turkish media. The data presents which cities the dead security forces are from. It turns out that in terms of highest losses, six of the top ten cities are Kurdish. The security forces from Kurdish cities (Kurds) are sent to the front lines to fight the PKK. The fascist regime's policy of pitting Kurds against Kurds continues regardless. A Kurd is worthless to the state even if he sides with the state. Here is the data for top ten cities:

City	Number of Dead Security Forces from the City	City Population (2007 census)
1. Şırnak (Şirnex)	302	416,001
2. İstanbul	284	12,573,836
3. Hakkâri (Colemerg)	264	246,469
4. Ankara	260	4,466,756
5. Diyarbakır (Amed)	233	1,460,714
6. Konya	203	1,959,082
7. Mardin (Mêrdîn)	199	745,778
8. Sivas (Sêwas)	198	638,464
9. Adana	186	2,006,650
10. Van (Wan)	177	979,671
Total	2,306	25,493,421
Total Number of Killed Security Forces from the Kurdish Cities in top 10 and sum of their populations:	1,373	4,487,097
Total Number of Killed Security Forces from Non-Kurdish Cities in top 10 and sum of their populations:	933	21,006,324
Percentage of Losses from Kurdish Cities (in top 10)	59.54

For the top-10 cities which gave the highest loss of security forces, Kurds make up 60% of losses. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was higher because we know there are millions of Kurds living in cities like Istanbul and Adana. Unfortunately the identity of security forces originating from those cities are not available to the man on the street but I am sure TSK takes their identities into considerations before deciding where to send those people. After all pitting Kurds against Kurds is one skill the fascist regime has mastered.

The data reveals more. We don't see the most racist and ultra right wing cities (where the thugs attack Kurdish civilians at any chance they get) in the top 10 above. What's going on here, really? Can it be that the fascist regime is actually trying everything to protect those worthless thugs by pushing Kurds to the front lines?
