Turkey: A Terrorist State
Turkey doesn’t belong to
European Culture and must be Expelled immediately
We
are in no way surprised by the ongoing policies of repression and
discrimination that this exercised by the Turkish government against the
Christian minorities and the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate. After the
keeling of the Armenian journalist in 2007, as recently as couple weeks
ago the editor of the Greek news paper in Istanbul was assaulted for being
not Turkish, while the government of Ankara was watching without taking
any action to protect the ethnic journalists, living in an environment of
fear and danger for their own life. Turkish repression has been ongoing
throughout the twentieth century- from the Genocidal policies of the Young
Turks and their successor Mustafa Kemal, the butcher of the Christian
minorities of the country and continues up to present day.
As
recently as this week for seven days in a row, the Turkish war planes are
continuously bombing civilians in North Iraq, keeling thousands of
innocent civilian, under the pretence of combating the Kurdish Liberation
fitters, an armed group of repressed people fitting the Turkish murderers,
for the right of their people to free expression and national
integrity.
We
are however, shocked and dismayed by the indifference of the western
world, of governments and media alike, to the appalling mistreatment of
Turkey’s religious and ethnic minorities and the keeling of so many
innocent people by the “the deep government”.
We
recall also with great sadness that the infamous pogroms of September 6,
1955, (which succeeded in destroying the Greek presence in Istanbul and
the islands of Imbros and Tenedos, occurred during a time when the
international conference had taken place in Turkey. As such, the offensive
against the Greek minority in Turkey occurred in the open, with the
international community fully aware of the violations of human rights and
religious freedoms taking place.
Unfortunately,
despite present-day abuses and atrocities, Turkey continues to be treated
as a respected member of the international community, and its European
Candidacy appears u untroubled by its continued assault of all the
Christian populations and the international low. Just to tell that only
last July, both the Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch and also the
Armenian Patriarch were targeted in an assassination attempt by retired
military officers.
Furthermore
despite international pleas to re-open the Greek Orthodox theological
Seminary of Halki, it remains closed, thus ensuring the complete
extinction of the Patriarchate if not reopened.
Under
the pretension of Ankara’s national interests, the Turkish war planes
are continuously bombing Kurdish villages and cities in Northern Iraq,
using mostly American supplied arms and ammunition, as the European and
international communities watching the crime without any reaction.
For
all the above we do believe that it is time for the government of the
international communities and special the European to accept their
responsibilities and stand up for the protection of the innocent members
of the minority groups of Turkey.
We
are also urging the Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis to immediately
denance this policy of terror of the Turkish state and cancel his visit to
Turkey, in protest, scheduled for January 23-25, 2008.
Besides
the bombing of the Kurdish territory in Northern Iraq, Turkey continues to
occupy since 1974 the small island republic of Cyprus, against the will
and the decisions of the international community and the United Nations.
The
experience s of the Western world with totalitarian and authoritarian
regimes throughout the twentieth century, have left a legacy of protecting
minority populations all over the world. Today rather, appears again that
mythical strategic considerations (as in the case of Turkey), have
condemned minority populations in Turkey and the Turkish occupied Cyprus
and North Iraq, to a permanent state of misery.
It
is time therefore for the Administrations of the World, the White House,
the Government of Canada and the United Nations to put an end to the
mistreatment of the minorities in Turkey and the Turkish occupied Cyprus,
Armenia, Pontus, the Islands of Imbros and Tenedos and the Kurdish
Population of Northern Iraq, which escaped the same treatment from Saddan
Hussein, only to continue its misery under the war planes of Turkey.
History
proves that Turkey never belonged to Western civilization, for centuries
now showed disregard for the rights of its people using a barbaric and
murderous mentality.
This
is the reason we are appealing to European Community to stop immediately
any talks of joining and cut Turkey form any possibility to become its
member.
The
daily actions of the Turkish administration are proving that this country
has nothing in common with the civilized world.
