As I´ve said, I think the term "genocide" is best reserved for the Jewish holocaust. That was a unique event, for reasons I´m sure I don´t have to explain, and I think it needs a special term to preserve its uniqueness.

The army´s split now. No chance of a coup.
What you say about the AK Party getting elected because, unlike the CHP, they actually do something to improve the lot of the poorest is quite true. The situation is comparable to Venezuela in that regard.
Interesting. Did the anti-Turkish propaganda you were fed come from the British government?
There´s a museum dedicated to the Cyprus invasión in Istanbul. It provides evidence of horrible atrocities committed by the Greeks. Not exactly an unbiased source, but still.
Evet salak, you´re lucky you blocked me. I was about to take you to task for calling me an "AKP groupie." Sitkirgit.

Now Phil if you are Turkish or a Kurd has insulted your mother please 'fess up.
I like you Phil but please do not play the devil's advocate, like some past it father here trying to torment his children. People are being slaughtered as we sit nice and cozy in front of our computers.
You know full well genocide is not a proper noun. The term for the extermination of Jewish people by the Nazis is 'Shoah', that is the proper noun. You can use 'The Holocaust' for the extermination for Jews, Gypsies, Communists etc.
I would greatly appreciate some sincerity on this thread.

No from talking to Greek Cypriots senior Brits were much less pro Greek generally of the view the Greeks deserved all they got and then some.
Real politik probably saw the Turk invasion as the best of bad situation

A large assault at dawn on saturday morning was pushed back after 90 minutes of heavy fighting.
ISIL bid to storm Syrian town repelled
There is an interview with an older YPG fighter who has been sent out of Kobane as the fighting has intensified. He is 65 years old.

Surely we already have aword (holocaust) for just that. Genocide for me is a term that best describes the more extreme end of the ethnic cleansing spectrum, into which the Rwandan and Armenian genocides both fit.

Eh!
Years ago I worked for a fella who'd been a sergeant based in Cyprus at the time of the invasion and that was exactly his opinion.

No, guess again, IS has pushed its luck too far, they may have one or two more 'victories' but they are about finished. Then again,that's just my personal interpretation.
In the coming months IS will be seeking retrenchment and consolidation in rocky outcrops, hopefully

Another death-blow to imperialism.
From the beginning of imperialist intervention the revolution has proceeded from victory to victory.
Military victory to the Islamic State - death to its politics! Death to imperialism.

Crap. We have been misinformed.
Tehran supplies media propaganda to the West and the victories of the insurgents are covered up.

That misinformation is what I call 'war propaganda' or psyops.
The revolutionaries have learnt that there is no negotiations with imperialism.

We should not be talking about the so-called "Islamic State"
Instead, we are talking about the legitimate revolutionary uprising of the Arab masses in Iraq and Suria.

The crimes committed by the so-called 'Islamic State' are absolutely deplorable. However, they are the strongest fighting force against an imperialist government that has murdered many more people in Iraq than the so-called Islamic State.
When Bashar Assad bombed homes and schools and hospitals he was condemned, in terms only, as a war criminal. Thousands of Iraqis have been massacred (by aerial bombing alone) since January with the backing of the international community (including the US and Russia). Why the double standard? Because of a secret alliance between Iran and Israel.
