- The PKK is a political/military organisation that has claimed to fight for Kurdish recognition and rights for 4 decades. - No, I do not recognize it as a terrorist organization. - Yep. Just did.

Can you believe the absolute lack of shame in this tweet? The majority of the 300,000 #Kurdish refugees were displaced because of your support for ISIS or your own invasion of #Afrin .

You’re right, a four-year-old could find it to sound the same. You’re government: - Threatened Iraqi #Kurdistan with starvation. - Is imprisoning democratically elected Kurdish politicians at home. - Ethnically cleansing #Kurds in northern #Syria . I’m not OK with this. Are you?

The premise of yours “Turkey’s war against PKK is war against Kurds” sounds like “US war against ISIS is war against Muslims”. I’m sure you are ok with the former while categorically denying the latter.

Forget all the acronyms and the “legitimate security concerns” for just one second!!! The fundamental question is: Do the #Kurds , a people who number 40 million, have the right to exist in their homeland of thousands of years with their distinct culture and language?

ABD-TR ilişkilerinde yeni bir evreye giriliyor: 70 yıl boyunca bu ilişki TR’nin NATO’nun sınır karakolu olması karşılığında ABD’nin de TR’nin iç meselelerine karışmaması üzerine kuruluydu. TR’nin NATO’dan uzaklaşması ile ABD’nin TR’nin iç meselelerine karışması orantılı olacak.

‘Erdogan is one of the biggest threats to peace in the Middle East – the US needs to realise this’

As long as Turkey is at war with the PKK, that war will not be confined to Turkey’s borders. It is a situation that threatens the stability and security of US partners and allies in Syria and Iraq
