WILL TURKEY EVADE JUSTICE FOR WAR CRIMES - AGAIN?

Revelations of horrendous crimes committed by Turkey against the Kurds are only the latest in a long catalog of Turkish regional violence that has gone unpunished.

From the massacre, some will say genocide, of more than one million Armenians to the murder of Greek Cypriots and the continuing occupation of northern Cyprus to the more recent violent provocation by attacking Israel's legal blockade of Gaza. The ships may have been manned by the Turkish IHH but the hand of Prime Minister Erdogan was clearly on the steering wheel of the Mavi Marmara.

Turkey has evaded justice for these crimes, but the terrible use of chemical weapons on Kurdish people, including two women, and then attempting to cover up this heinous crime by ripping the bodies to pieces, brought back memories of Saddam Hussein.

Photographic evidence of these war crimes is in the hands of the major news agencies who claim that they are so appalling they refuse to print them. German experts have confirmed the authenticity of these pictures and Kurdish witnesses can identify the victims.

It is inconceivable that Turkish Prime Minister Recip Tayyip Erdogan did not know of, if not order, these terrible crimes.

In the last year he has imposed his chosen officers to the hierarchy of the Turkish military. It is impossible that he would not have been informed of and approved the use of chemical warfare against the Kurds.

Erdogan has been quick to accuse Israel of all sorts of abuses. He insulted President Peres at Davos, accusing him of war crimes in Gaza. He insisted that Israel "must pay the price" over the recent flotilla incident.

Now it is Erdogan's turn to pay the price.

Torture tools displayed ahead of Turkey referendum

Turkish exhibit displays coup-era torture instruments ahead of constitutional referendum

A wooden pole used to suspend suspects by their arms. A baton used to beat prisoners on the soles of their feet. Cables used to give electric shocks.

All are displayed at an exhibit ahead of a referendum on changes to the constitution that was crafted in the wake of Turkey's 1980 military coup, which was marked by torture and other abuses.

The coupist were not pro-islamist so what it has to do with Islamo-fascism?

So many people arrested yet you do not see the irony of torture tools displayed?

Turkey’s Parliament Approves Another Year of Attacks in Iraq

In a 428-18 vote, Turkey’s parliament today agreed to extend the military’s mandate to launch attacks against Kurdish forces in Northern Iraq for another year. The vote came following a closed-door debate about the issue.

Since the 2003 US occupation of Iraq, northern Iraq has been governed by a largely independent Kurdish regional government. Since that time, Iraq’s neighbors have complained the region has become a popular staging ground for their own Kurdish rebel factions.

Turkey objects to Nato missile shield targeting Iran

Turkey has imposed hurdles to Nato's planned anti-ballistic missile shield in Europe by demanding proof that the system would not exclusively target Iran.

The development raised further concerns that Turkish foreign policy was tilting outside the sphere of the Western alliance towards alignment with its eastern neighbour.

A Turkish official said Ahmed Davutoglu, Turkey's foreign minister, had opened "negotiations" on the targeting of the missiles at a preliminary meeting in Brussels last week.
