Fascism always begins by targeting one group and then another. First they came for journalists, dissidents, liberals, minorities like Kurds, LGBT, they targeted Armenia and ethnically cleansed Afrin…they push antisemitism…and now they reportedly attack Syrians.

Anyone who has watched the far-right drowning Turkey in propaganda for years with stories of mythical “terrorists” and leading to purges snd mass prisons and harassment of free thinkers knows what has happened
Also the state controlled media that means most of Turkish media is run by one party means there is no check or balance
Also unfortunately some foreign media have come to appease or maybe work for the leading populist far right. So sadly no one is there to put the brakes on.
Sadly Ankara also illegally recruited Syrians to fight its foreign wars as cannon fodder. I told people that this was a horrid violation, that they were trying to dump them abroad. Use them against others in Syria to destroy peaceful areas. It’s awful what happened.
I watched as Ankara mobilized its lobby in the West to support its horrible policies and fan the flames of hate. And this harms everyone
