Tanks moving into Mahabad

Local Citizens claim to have heard the soldiers speaking in Turkish language. The Kurdisch human rights watch organization (KHRW) now states that more than 70 people died in the recent uprising in Rojhalat.

? This is a bit unclear. Iranian soldiers?
They are all Iranians living in one country called Iran.
Shouldn't we be worried about people in other parts of the states?
It is confusing. It's hard to know if there are Turkish mercenaries, of if these reports of speaking kurdish are just meant to inflame
It means that regime brings troops from turkish part of Iran (They speak Azeri, not turkish) to suppress the local protestors.
thanks. It's a bit clearer now.
They are not all Iranians, They are Kurds , been forced to be a part of Iran,they as Moderate Suunis Kurd been opressed by Extremist Shia Persians.
They want their own rights and their own self-determaition .
sorry it doenst meant to inflame.
Mahabad the Kurdish City been included in "Azerbaijan Province" in Iran (instead of being in Kurdistan Province)
and that city is controlled by Iranian Turks , and it is pretty normal that Turk governor ask Turk sodiers to kill Kurds (as they are more fierce toward Kurds)
wrong!
They are Iranians. They are not separatists!
Kurds are ther wild card in this power game. They are also unhappy about the Syrian regime.
Please tell me we aren't going into Iran? I'm getting too many emails about it.......making me nervous.
