Regimes of evil: colonization continues

It is not even a secret. Turkish state authorities are doing this very openly, in front of the rest of the world. How can this happen?

After the concept of terrorism, now the new strategy of ‘safe zone’ or ‘security zone’ is shaping the colonialist state’s expansionist wishes and illegitimate international actions. We have observed over the last three decades how the concept of terrorism has worked perfectly for the nation states and almost every large and powerful nation state has benefited from this. The new strategy is expected to serve for a similar excuse.

Now any powerful or large nation state, such as the USA against Mexico, India against Kashmir, Europe against North Africa, Saudi Arabia against Yemen, Russia against Ukraine and China against Hong Kong, can follow this same path and expand their interest and authority at the expense of others, in the same way that Turkey is currently carrying out in their actions against Kurds in Syria and elsewhere. This newfound strategy of ‘safe zones’ is just a new name for old-style colonization, which continues to enable the monopolistic privilege of some ethnic or religious groups over others.

The evil of the twentieth century continues.

The twentieth century was the century of genocides. Many serious crimes against humanity took place. Turkey alone, at least twice, committed this crime; once against Armenia (1915) and then against Alevis and Kurds (1937-38). The evil of the twentieth century continues. The crime against small and weak sections of society, the colonization and occupation has not ended. Regimes of evil and their immoral reasoning, methods, rule of government and administration just take different shapes.
