a primary school in #urfa lets #kurdish kids, aged 9 and 10, dress up like turkish soldiers and perform a militarist death-cult show, turkish flags all over the place. this is fascism. #turkey

today, 1937: seyid rıza is taken to court in elazığ, where he would be sentenced to death. he was the leader of the #resistance against the state's genocidal campaign against the alevi kurds of #dersim , 1937 & 1938. he was hanged, and never forgotten. a #hero in kurdish history.

today the #pkk celebrates its 45th #birthday . an important day because the foundation of the pkk is seen as the start of the re-awakening of the kurdish people. the reversal of forced assimilation of #kurds started.

Violence in #Belgium , with #Turks attacking #Kurds with weapons after hunting them down. I don't doubt @ScharoMaroof 's account of events: he's reliable, and I know this dynamic between Turkish and Kurdish communities in Europe: Kurds don't provoke, let alone start violence.

Late last night, I decided to drive to the Castle by myself to clear my head. But, seeing this did not sit well with me and truly blinded me. I question whether this is an example of ‘good diplomacy’?! I’m sorry, but it doesn’t seem to be.

Soldiers in Şemdinli are terrorizing Kurdish citizens minding their own business in a minibus. The soldiers are harrassing, insulting and threatening them, and shooting in the air. The citizens get angry, one is brave enough to film it. DEM Party MP @oznurbartin shared the video.

no, he said 'the threat of terrorism', not 'fetö terrorism', you manipulative liars of erdogan's trt. jens stoltenberg would never say 'fetö terrorism', it's quatsch. fetö as a terrorist group only exists in turkey's imagination, nobody recognizes it as such, let alone nato.
