Turkey has bombed the city of Afrin. Turkish President Erdogan describes the organizations YPJ and YPG as "terrorists" and tries to justify military intervention in Syria, which is actually directed against the Kurds in the Roja province.



Erdogan does not want to see a progressive Kurdish movement that has been successful in organizing tens of thousands of female YPJ squadmen and forming three democratically managed cantons.

In order to conceal these crimes, Erdogan needs a scapegoat. Therefore, all Kurdish organizations and other people ministries and socialist organizations in Turkey are targeted as "terrorists".

Now that IS / Daesh was driven out of Rojava and the people there were able to organize democratically, the Turkish state has taken place in IS / Daesh's place.

All in order to prevent a popular and democratic development in Rojava.

Today, none of the states in the region involved in the conflict in Syria can not be considered as functioning democracies. It belongs to Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and, of course, Syria itself.

The two major powers of the United States and Russia are looking after their own interests and are also involved.

All the states that surround it, which should be an independent Kurdistan, play a bloody game with each other about influence and natural resources. A game where you tie and break alliances when it suits.

In the end, the victims will be Kurds in all the Middle East countries.

The Turkish government's last act in Afrin is also a human rights violation by attacking an area belonging to Syria.

Erdogan therefore throws additional fuel on the fire and war crimes, war crimes and human rights violations that constitute the civil war in Syria.

The bloody conflicts in the Middle East are one of several threats to world peace today.

Turkey's behavior increases this threat and it is a threat not in Southeast Asia, in Africa or in Latin America. There is just outside the door to Europe.

39 years ago, the western world, Ayatolla Khomeini, supported the power which became one of the worst tyrants in the Middle East. For a couple of years, one has done the same with Erdogan.

The UN Security Council does not clearly and clearly condemn Turkey's intrusion in Syria showing the route unit in the political game.

Why is Erdogan's assertion that it is fighting terrorism? It's a sunny political scandal.

The political game is taking place over the heads of the people in the Middle East, with the superpowers as secondary. But no one takes into account the approximately 40 million Kurds and other national minorities in the region.

Erdogan has previously clearly stated that "democracy is not the goal". The attack in Rojava is a clarification.

It is not the alleged "terrorism" that threatens. For Erdogan, all struggles for democracy are dangerous.

The fight for democracy is dangerous in Rojava, and it is home in Turkey, where the prisons of full opposition HPD politicians and outspoken intellectuals.

Sweden and the EU can not silence watch when the Erdogan regime calls everyone in opposition to terrorists.

For Erdogan, democracy is a form of terrorism.
