UK’s Home Secretary cannot say on live TV that Trump shouldn’t annex Greenland.
Embarrassing.
But this is the state of the US allies, everyone is quite frightened to criticise Trump
Eric Hacopian, host of CivilNet, talks about the information war against Azerbaijan, says that every negative story about Azerbaijan should be spread immediately:
"Everyone who speaks about peace is preaching a false gospel" - he says 1/2
Nothing undermines democracy and the reputation of the West in post-Soviet countries than the geopolitisation of democratic elections. Why is the rather dubious outcome in Moldova - achieved through amplified diaspora vote in the West and suppressed diaspora vote in Russia - is a triumph of democracy and the Georgian outcome isn’t?
Said it many times - the West could have served as an arbiter in post-Soviet countries advocating a genuine rule of law. It would be welcome by all countries here, including pre-Bucharest summit Russia. Instead it is seen as a side in the neo-imperialist contest for spheres of influence in which law is just a tool that can be used or discarded depending on circumstances.
In the long term, these policies will only degrade the Western bloc’s clout in the east of Europe. The latest trajectories of both Georgia and Moldova, in which votes were won by a statistical error margin, are a good example of that. It’s the Yeltsin 1996 election dilemma over and over again.
@sfrantzman So, Turkey should work together with SDF/YPG/PKK whose ultimate goal is to occupy turkish territories? What about telling that story to your audience 🤡
Recently I have been travelling through northern Kurdistan, and have met with Kurdish people from all different kinds of backgrounds. They told countless stories of the current systematic oppression and repression they face – especially from the Turkish state –, as well as a history full of massacres.
Destruction and exploitation of the nature – such as unlawful forest cutdowns, sacrificing zones for mining companies and fires – is one of the many tools used as part of the continuous attacks against the Kurds. This often leads to devastation of local communities and biodiversity as well as forced displacement. Erasure of culture and identity, state violence, political prisoners, forced displacement, ecocides and disappearances are just some examples of the discrimination people face on an everyday basis, as well as being denied the right to self determination and freedom.
To build genuine bridges of solidarity in Turkey, autonomy and self-governance for Kurdish regions are essential. The Kurdish people deserve the right to shape their own lives, culture, and communities.
Turkey must clarify its stance on the Kurds and other minority groups by enshrining their rights in the constitution. The government continues to use “terrorism�� as a pretext to silence its political opponents. Tens of thousands of politically active individuals remain imprisoned without fair trials. International organizations such as the ECHR, UN, and Amnesty have condemned this and call for their release.
For a sustainable peace and a just future, the Kurds’ right to freedom and autonomy must be respected and the violent attacks against Kurdistan must end.
No one is free until everyone is free. Bijî Kurdistan!
