Nine books published by Avesta Publishing were pulled off the shelves by İdil Criminal Judicature of Peace within “the fight against terrorism.”
The books withdrawn from shelves are as following: “Kan, İnançlar ve Oy Pusulaları”, “Cesur Adamların Ülkesine Yolculuk”, “Tasavvur mu Gerçek mi?”, “Mahabad Kürt Cumhuriyeti Büyük Güçlerin Politikasında Kürtler 1941-1947”, “Mağdur Diasporadan Sınırötesi Vatandaşlığa mı?”, “Ülkemde Bir Yabancı”, “Çaldıran Savaşı’nda Osmanlılar Safeviler ve Kürtler”, “Tanrı ve Şeyh Adi Kusursuzdur: Yezidi Tarihinden Kutsal Şiirler ve Dinsel Anlatılar” ve “Kürdistan Bayrağının Altında ve Irak’ta Soykırım.” One among them is the sacred text of the Yezidis and others published at reputable universities of the world as Ph.D theses.
Two people, whose houses were raided in İdil, Şırnak due to ‘KCK/PKK charges’ possessed the aforementioned books; their possession became a reason for the books to be pulled off shelves.
