YAZIDI politician Merwan Bedel was killed by Turkey as revenge for the defeat of Isis in Shengal, co-chair of the regions autonomous administration Rihem Hesen has told the Morning Star. 

She accused Turkey of continuing where the jihadists had left off, slamming the international community for its silence over another attempted genocide of the Yazidis. 

Speaking exclusively to the Star, the Yazidi leader said that Turkey had declared a war on her people with the deliberate bombing of political institutions and the extrajudicial execution of elected officials.
