The Turkish government is waging a war against its own people, deploying tanks against civilians, MP says.

On January 3, a rally held by pro-Kurdish activists in Istanbul ended in clashes with the police; numerous protesters were arrested by the authorities, according to RT.

The protesters gathered to express their dissatisfaction with the government's heavy-handed activity in the southeastern part of the country, which is populated predominantly by Kurds. The Turkish military has launched a so called 'anti-terrorist operation' in that region, having deployed about 10,000 servicemen supported by armored units and attack helicopters.

About 100 civilians have already been killed during this campaign, according to media reports.

President Erdogan also accused Selahattin Demirtas, co-chairman of the People's Democratic Party, of committing a constitutional crime after the latter reportedly advocated granting more autonomy to the restive region in hopes of resolving the conflict peacefully. Demirtas and his colleague, Figen Yuksekdas, are currently facing an investigation launched by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Diyarbakir for "inciting people to revolt," "propaganda for a terrorist organization" and "attempting to disrupt the unity of the state and the country".

All in all, the situation in the country continues to deteriorate, according to Feleknas Uca, a Turkish MP of Yazidi descent representing Diyarbakir, and member of the HDP.

"I'm currently in the city of Diyarbakir, where the police are using tear gas against civilians every day. There are dead bodies lying in the streets," she told RT. "A 16-years old kid was killed only a few days ago. The families of the victims went on a hunger strike in protest."

Uca said that the Turkish government must put an end to these reprisals against civilians, and that Europe should provide assistance in that matter.

"This country wants to join the EU, while Europe wants Turkey to become a safe place for the refugees. But when a government deploys tanks and armed forces against its people, I call it a war. This is why I call upon Europe to break the silence. The people must open their eyes to what's happening here, to see how civilians are being killed," she said.

Comment: It is thus unsurprising that Erdogan admires Hitler's methods of running a country as he seems to be following in his footsteps.

ISIS Selling Yazidi Women and Children in Turkey

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7078/turkey-isis-slaves/

"Some of those women and girls have had to watch 7-, 8-, and 9-year-old children bleed to death before their eyes, after being raped by ISIS militia multiple times a day." — Mirza Ismail, chairman of the Yazidi Human Rights Organization-International.

"An office has been established by ISIS members in Antep [Turkey]; and at that office, women and children kidnapped by ISIS are sold for high amounts of money. Where are the ministers and law enforcement officers of this county who are talking about stability?" — Reyhan Yalcindag, prominent Kurdish human rights lawyer.

"Five thousand people have been taken as captives. Women and children are raped, and then sold. These must be considered crimes." — Leyla Ferman, Co-President of the Yazidi Federation of Europe.

"Turkey has signed several international treaties, but it is the number one country when it comes to professional non-compliance with human rights treaties." — Reyhan Yalcindag.

"Some of those women and girls have had to watch 7-, 8-, and 9-year-old children bleed to death before their eyes, after being raped by ISIS militia multiple times a day.

"I met mothers, whose children were torn from them by ISIS. These same mothers came to plead for the return of their children, only to be informed, that they, the mothers, had been fed the flesh of their own children by ISIS. Children murdered, then fed to their own mothers.

"ISIS militias have burned many Yezidi girls alive for refusing to convert and marry ISIS men. Young Yezidi boys are being trained to be jihadists and suicide bombers. All of our temples in the ISIS controlled area are exploded and destroyed. Why? Because we are not Muslims, and because our path is the path of peace. For this, we are being burned alive: for living as men and women of peace."

Erdogan once said that democracy for him is a bus ride. “Once I get to my stop, I’m getting off."

* King Abdullah II of Jordan
* Quoted by Jeffrey Goldberg, Bloomberg News, July 4, 2013.

Erdogan quoted a Turkish Writer:
Democracy is only the Train,which we ride to our Destination;
The Mosques are our Barracks;
The Minarets our Bayonets;
The Domes our Helmets;
The Believers our Soldiers!

women are valued slightly below cattle and goats in the muslim world...

I think it needs mention again (for those who do not know), according to the Quran, ONLY NON MUSLIMS can be slaves. The slaves in Turkey, although these women & children are THEIR own citizens; are CHRISTIANS. The girls who refuse to convert (as slaves) or marry them are BURIED ALIVE with rocks (on link).

So at this point..I think women, children & all NON Muslims must be considered beneath cattle.
* And homosexuals, being tossed from cliffs & high buildings.. Not in the link, but in the Quran & happening throughout the world.....daily. *

JIHAD IN WW1, Ottoman Jihad against the Russians, French, British and genocide on Christians

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/11/14/muslim-brotherhood-overruns-national-cathedral-in-dc/

Dr. Sebastian Gorka14 Nov 201454

100 years ago today, the last Caliph, or emperor of Islam, declared the last Jihad against the infidel– and today is the first time ever that the National Cathedral in the nation’s capital will host Muslim prayers.
Most American’s will have no idea that, as part of World War I, the then-Caliph of the Ottoman empire declared a Holy War against infidels, as was his right within sharia law and Islamic theology. You can read the full fatwa here (ignore the date of 1915 which is an original typo).
That statement by the last sitting head of what was the theocratic empire of Islam was the catalyst which led to religiously-fueled genocide against Christian Armenians and Assyrians.
The Episcopal church leaders who agreed to the host Muslim prayers inside the Washington cathedral probably have no idea what happened a century ago in Asia Minor, or that there even was a Caliph in office at the beginning of the 20th century.
However, we can rest assured that the co-organizers do, for they include the Council on Islamic-American Relations (CAIR), The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the All-Dulles Area Muslims Society (ADAMS) Center.
Both CAIR and ISNA will be fully aware of the significance of November 14th, seeing as both organizations were declared by a federal court to be unindicted co-conspirators of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood terror group, in the largest terrorist financing trial in US history.
Those muslims who have a supremacist understanding of their religion, such as members of Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood – which was recently declared an illegal terrorist organization in the country of its founding, Egypt – have a special regard for historic dates and anniversaries.
It is, of course, no accident that the 9/11 attacks, the worst terror attacks in world history, occurred exactly to the day in 1683 when the Islamic Ottoman forces were defeated outside the city walls of Vienna, the deepest the Islamic Caliphate’s forces made it into the heart of the Christian West.

There is nothing inherently wrong about interfaith initiatives as long as they start from the same place: a mutual respect for the belief system of the other, and their inherent dignity as humans created by God. When one party acts in bad faith based upon its ideological commitment to see other faiths destroyed or subjected, then the event runs the risk of becoming a propaganda coup for the extremists and their followers.
The fact that this event is occurring just as ancient Christian communities are being destroyed in the Middle East and “non-believers” are being actually crucified by ISIS jihadists makes it all the more egregious.
We know that the Episcopal church is in trouble with more conservative believers leaving in great numbers and the remaining adherents not exactly outdoing their Catholic cousins in terms of reproducing the next generation of believers. But I doubt they also understand the finer points of jihadist doctrine, one of which is that if a place of worship is used by Muslims for their prayers, that territory subsequently becomes part of Dar al Islam, sacred muslim land. Forever.

"There is nothing inherently wrong about interfaith initiatives"

funny how i hear this all the time, but never from a muslim...

yep,strange,ain't it?
