AFP reports, "Two civilians were killed on Sunday in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region by a Turkish army bombardment as forces battled the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) rebels, local officials said."
Turkey keeps killing Iraqi civilians and the world keeps looking away.
Like many observers, I'm not getting how this is different from the Armenian genocide that Turkey carried out at the start of the last century.
They have their cover story, they're just going after the PKK. But to Turkey, apparently, every Kurd is PKK. That would explain, after all, why they persecute the Kurds that live in Turkey.
This is violation of Iraq's sovereignty and it's a genocide.
It needs to stop but it won't until people start calling it out.
Do you think all the people who knew the Armenian genocide was being carried out but refused to speak out, do you think they ever felt any guilt? Do you think they ever wondered if maybe they'd taken a moment or two just to speak out maybe 1.5 million Armenians might not have been slaughtered? Of if they'd spoken out a little, the Turkish government couldn't claim today to be the ones being persecuted?
Meanwhile, in the right now, the Turkish government keeps terrorizing people in northern Iraq, terrorizing and killing. When does it stop?
