Katos vaan, tämä kun eskaloituu niin siinä ollaan taas uuden äärellä. No, tokkopa Putin sallii näin tapahtuvan.
 
Katos vaan, osa 2: USA:n alahuone äänesti lauselman puolesta, jossa Turkin tekemä armenialaisten kansansurma todetaan, niin, kansansurmaksi. Genocide. Mitä sen onkaan suomeksi. Erdoganin Valkoinen talo-vierailua odotellessa...

Pelosi taisi laittaa myös Trumpille tuossa kuittia, mutkan kautta.

No, siviilejä Turkki nytkin lahtaa, ettei tavat ole paljoa muuttunut vaikka mittakaava toki ihan eri. Yksi eilinen otos aiheesta:

Turkey should face charges in front of the international court of justice for being complicit in acts of genocide against the Yazidi people, while Syria and Iraq failed in their duty to prevent the killings, an investigation endorsed by British human rights lawyer Helena Kennedy has said.

The groundbreaking report, compiled by a group of prominent human rights lawyers, is seeking to highlight the binding responsibility states have to prevent genocide on their territories, even if they are carried out by a third party such as Islamic State (IS).

The lawyers, grouped under the title of the Yazidi Justice Committee (YJC), said there was accountability under international law for states to prevent the crime of genocide under the Genocide Convention. Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, chair of the YJC, described the genocide of the Yazidi people as “madness heaped on evil”.

“Mechanisms in place could have saved the Yazidis from what is now part of their past, and part of their past partial destruction,” he said.
It is widely accepted that genocide was attempted against the Yazidis, a religious minority, from 2013 in Iraq and Syria. The report, which followed a three-year inquiry that investigated the conduct of 13 countries, concluded three of them failed in their duty to take reasonable steps to prevent the genocide.

In the case of Turkey, the committee went further by accusing its leaders of being complicit in the massacres, alleging it failed to police its borders to halt the free flow of IS fighters, including a significant number of Turkish nationals. Turkish officials have said the criticisms are baseless.
