My grandfather was a terrorist : that's how the Nazis used to call the resistance fighters under the occupation. I take that kind of empty rhetoric for what it's worth.
Is that your best shot ?
That hardly contradicts dozens of twitter users reporting live from scene ...
HDP Hakkari deputy Nihat Akdoğan said locals in Hakkari's Gever (Yüksekova) district told him that Turkish forces used chemical gas in civilian areas.
Voicing concerns over the safety of life of Gever people, HDP MP Akdoğan said he called the governor of Şırnak and district governor of Gever numerous times to ask about the allegations of chemical weapon use, but he wasn't answered.
Akdoğan told the following; “The town is under bombardment for 7 days. Announcements are being made from armored vehicles in order for the evacuation of civilians who are, however, not allowed to get out either. Locals from Eski Kışla, Mezarlık and Orman neighborhoods have called us and asked for help as they cannot breathe due to the gas, the kind of which we do not know but it certainly leaves our people in a very difficult position. Some other reports say that 30 to 40 people were killed by chemical gas, and their bodies are completely burned. An elderly mother called and asked us to save them from 'this gas'.”
Pointing to the threat of an imminent massacre against Gever people, Akdoğan said; "Neither the governor nor a military official can endure the responsibility of a savagery that might be committed here. Crimes against humanity do not drop due to prescription."
HDP deputy called upon all political parties and institutions, NGOs and everyone with conscience to break this silence on the ongoing massacre of Kurds.

Research Paper: ISIS-Turkey Links
By David L. Phillips
Introduction
Is Turkey collaborating with the Islamic State (ISIS)? Allegations range from military cooperation and weapons transfers to logistical support, financial assistance, and the provision of medical services. It is also alleged that Turkey turned a blind eye to ISIS attacks against Kobani.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu strongly deny complicity with ISIS. Erdogan visited the Council on Foreign Relations on September 22, 2014. He criticized "smear campaigns [and] attempts to distort perception about us." Erdogan decried, "A systematic attack on Turkey's international reputation, "complaining that "Turkey has been subject to very unjust and ill-intentioned news items from media organizations." Erdogan posited: "My request from our friends in the United States is to make your assessment about Turkey by basing your information on objective sources."
Columbia University's Program on Peace-building and Rights assigned a team of researchers in the United States, Europe, and Turkey to examine Turkish and international media, assessing the credibility of allegations. This report draws on a variety of international sources -- The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, BBC, Sky News, as well as Turkish sources, CNN Turk, Hurriyet Daily News, Taraf, Cumhuriyet, and Radikal among others.

So everybody is a terrorist in Turkey unless your are a follower of the Great Leader ?
The only things you can blame on Turks is the consequence of Turkish actions.
Erdogan gone will not remove the problem, he is a product of Turkey. So maybe seeing Turkey implode in a civil war is the best thing to consider in order to relieve the people living in the area at the moment.
For those who fled abroad, it may be re-assuring to back the Caliph in order to avoid thinking about the reasons why so many Turks already left Turkey.
What can Turkish expats find elsewhere than in Turkey ? Freedom of speech, democracy, safety, secularism ... ?
Or do one hope to bring 'Turkish values' with him : endemic corruption, police state, ethnic tensions, ...
So you will NEVER EVER admit the Caliph used WMDs against his own population just because you can't handle the fact ? Sad.
This is fresh news I admit, it took place this afternoon. Just wait 'til this becomes mainstream.

Turkish Troops will be sitationed in Ukraine at some point in this summer .
Syria is a bygone conclusion , Ukraine is going to get warmer this summer .
At a meeting in the Kremlin’s St George Hall, Vladimir Putin presented state decorations to service personnel and defence industry specialists who distinguished themselves in the performance of special missions in the Syrian Arab Republic.
Our bases in Syria are at Tartus and Khmeimim, the service personnel there are reliably protected from land, sea and air. All the components of the deployed air defence system, including close range Pantsir-F and long-range S-400 Triumph units will be on regular duty.
I would like to note that we have significantly restored the potential of the Syrian air defence forces as well. All the parties concerned have been made aware of this. We proceed from fundamental international norms – nobody has the right to violate the airspace of a sovereign country, Syria in this case.
We have created together with the American side an efficient mechanism to prevent air incidents, but all our partners have been warned that our air defence systems will be used against any target that we deem to be threatening Russian service personnel. I want to stress – any target.
We will of course continue to provide assistance to the lawful Syrian government. This assistance is comprehensive in nature and includes financial aid, supplies of equipment and arms, assistance in training and building Syrian armed forces, reconnaissance support and assistance to headquarters in planning operations. And finally, direct support, I mean, the use of our space force and strike and fighter aviation. The Russian forces that remain in Syria are enough to ensure this.
I would like to note here, for this audience and for the entire country: Russia’s main agenda today is that of peace. It has to do with developing the economy in complicated conditions, with maintaining and improving the wellbeing of our people. However, without ensuring our security, without creating a battle-ready, modern and efficient Army and Navy we would not resolve a single task. Moreover, the very existence of a sovereign and independent Russia would not be possible without it.
Turkish Troops will be sitationed in Ukraine at some point in this summer . Syria is a bygone conclusion , Ukraine is going to get warmer this summer .
Topic is Russian forces leaving Syria .
Obviously you like going around circles ; pls spare the reader of your vitriol and do try to stick to topic .

Assad government is officially representing Syria at the UN assembly. Give me your definition of a dictatorship ...

Turkish war crimes? Don’t be absurd - they’re in NATO!
