A senior Turkish cabinet minister declared Wednesday he wished to become a “martyr” as the government fights an unprecedented offensive against Kurdish rebels, prompting astonishment and mockery on social media.
“My goal is to be martyred, if Allah desires, for my religion, my nation and my country,” Energy Minister Taner Yildiz told reporters at a conference in Ankara.
Turkey is currently waging an “anti-terror war” against Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants, who have hit back by killing members of the security forces on a daily basis.
Each of the slain troops is buried with full honours and described as a “martyr” (“sehit” in Turkish) for the fatherland.

“Those are brave men out there! Let’s go kill them!” — Tyrion Lannister
Hopefully someone with a BMG .50 Cal will grant his wish before he takes out more than himself in a suicide bombing!
As they told us in the USMC, our job is not to die for our country, but to make that other SOB die for his.............
Sorry Turk, im rooting for the Kurds.
The Kurds are the Medes in end times Bible Prophecy.
I don’t really know about all that. That kinda sounds like revelation stuff. And the thing about revelation, is that its anybody’s guess as to how to interpret it.
I just know the Kurds are about only people in the whole infernal region who don’t instinctively hate America. And they get a raw deal from everyone. So I’m on their side.
God bless and help the Kurds. Those are the only seemingly sane people in the Iraq, Iran, Turkey area.
The only ones there who don’t hate America, and who didn’t attack our troops in Iraq. They are the only ones who fight ISIS with gusto. So of course, we let our retarded Turkish ally bomb them.
How much longer will Turkey be our ally? Unless the elections will get rid of that horrible Erdogan.
Turkey is run by Muslims. The Muslim part is what matters, there’s really no Turkey anymore once Islam is installed.
I Love the smell of dead muslims in the morning, apologies to Duvall.
