Erdogan, a Runaway Man!
By Rebwar Rashed: Despite Mr. Ocalan’s call for a peaceful solution of the Kurdish question on the Kurdish New Year, Newroz, in 2013, Erdogan instead chose steps in the opposite direction, for instance: to militarize the Kurdistan region even more than previous governments; to build military outposts everywhere, even on top of those mountains which…
Turks Teaching Trump to Dump
By Dr. M. Koohzad: President Erdogan of Turkey came to Washington threatening, demanding, asking, even begging for a few things he badly needed. He wanted the U.S. to dump the Syrian Kurds who are bravely fighting ISIS, extradite his old friend Fethullah Gulen to Turkey to be executed, and fire Mr. Brett McGurk, the American…
Turkey Has Slid Into International State Terrorism!
By Rebwar Rashed: By now everyone is aware of the atrocities that the Turkish State has committed since 29th October 1923 against Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds, non-Sunni religious such as Allawites and others like the Jewish community, the Yazidis etc. Anyhow, the subject of this article is not about Turkish state terrorism inside Turkey, but rather…
Turkey’s Path from Fascism to Fascism!
By Rebwar Rashed: As a kid I was always amused by the magician’s ability that, with just a wave of the hat, he could pull a rabbit or a dove out of an empty hand. What a performance! I never quit comparing the magician’s venture to the Western Democracies’ amazing propensity to put rose-colored glasses…
Erdogan’s State Sponsored Terrorism Breeds More Terrorism
By Dr. M. Koohzad: Introduction: The Turkish Tyrant President Erdogan did not devise state sponsored terrorism. It was Ataturk, Father of the Turkish Republic, out of fear of the non-Turks, who applied this tactic to control the Kurdish uprisings.

Erdogan’s AKP is Killing the Image of Turkish Civilization
By Arian Mufid: In 1934 Reza Shah, the ruler of Iran, was so impressed by the Turkish rule, the structure of Turkish civilization, and the nation’s founder Kemal Ataturk that he decided to travel there to meet Ataturk in person.

Erdogan Invites The Turks To Go Back to Mongolia!
By Rebwar Rashed: In the last few weeks there have been rather warm discussions in Erdogan’s presidential palace and in other important decision-making arenas of the Turkish political establishment. The discussions among the Turkish gentlemen have been about how to turn political jokes into reality. We all remember the man with the faint and fixed…
Turkey Headed In The Totally Wrong Direction!
By Rebwar Rashed: With a portfolio comprising the Copenhagen criteria, respect for national, democratic and human rights and a little understanding that other people also need freedom, peace and friendly neighbors, Turkey could have gone a great way towards sustainable peace and a wellbeing future. Turkey’s situation, however, is exactly the opposite. Turkey slides slowly but surely…

Will the USA and EU Punish Turkey If It Doesn’t Commit To Democracy?
By Abdul-Qahar Mustafa: Most people including me know that Turkey has a bad history in dealing with minorities and has never had any true approach to democracy. It started from the time when their ancestors took the land by force from Kurds, Assyrians, Armenians, and Greeks in the 11th century. They have subjected and murdered…
Turkey’s Failed Coup and Erdogan’s Anti-Kurdish Agenda
Analysis by the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK): On 15th July 2016 an unsuccessful attempt at a coup happened in Turkey.
