It is still shrouded in mystery the Istanbul massacre. Ihake Mashrapov, the 28-year-old Kyrgyz accused yesterday of being responsible for the deaths of 39 people in the New Year's attack, has been cleared. According to Akipress, Mashrapov was in Turkey on business between December 28 and 30 and then again between January XNUMX and today, while he was in Kyrgyzstan on the night of the massacre.
Mashrapov explained to the Kyrgyz authorities, as well as to the Turkish police, that he had nothing to do with the attack, demonstrating from the stamps in his passport that he was not in Istanbul on New Year's Eve.
In the meantime, therefore, the investigation continues. And the Turkish Parliament, also in the light of the attack on the Reina disco, has approved the extension of the state of emergency for 3 months. The proposal by the government led by the Islamist party Akp to extend the state of emergency imposed on 20 July after the failed coup d'état for another three months was voted on by President Erdogan's Akp and the Nationalist Movement (Mhp), the fourth force in the Parliament. The main opposition forces, the People's Republican Party (CHP) and the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP), are against it, according to which the measure undermines freedom of expression and human rights.
In the evening The Wafa Media Foundation, an information agency headed by ISIS, in a message on the web captured by the monitoring site Usa Site, defines jihad as the "true meaning" of tourism and the New Year's massacre at the Reina disco as "the most important date in the history of Turkey" and calls for new attacks.
