By Dr. M. Koohzad: President Erdogan of Turkey came to Washington threatening, demanding, asking, even begging for a few things he badly needed.

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…
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…
By Dr. M. Koohzad: Introduction: The Turkish Tyrant President Erdogan did not devise state sponsored terrorism.

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.

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…
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…
By Dr Jan Best de Vries: In The Netherlands Erdogan Turks have accused 9 schools of being Gülen schools and the result is that 588 children have been removed from these schools by their parents out of fear that they might be stigmatized by the Turkish comnunity. All the schools are secular ones and the…
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…
Analysis by the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK): On 15th July 2016 an unsuccessful attempt at a coup happened in Turkey.

By Rebwar Rashed: The modern history of Turkey is the history of racism, discrimination and exclusion. Thus, it is a history of assimilation, extermination, deportation, displacement, harassment, imprisonment and persecution. The victims are many: Kurds, Assyrians and Armenians and also other non Hanafi-Islam sorts, especially the Alawits. In the rhetoric of Turkish state ideology and…
By Arian Mufid: Yesterday’s terrorist attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport highlights the ultimate folly of President Erdogan’s policy of fostering ISIS and other jihadists, such as the Al Qaeda-affilliate al Nusra, mainly to counteract the righteous Kurdish movement for self rule. Now the deadly chickens he hatched in Syria are coming home to roost. Given…
