| 2016-09-20 |
| [AA.TR] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Monday called on the UN to investigate serious human right violations committed in Syria by the YPG terror organization, the armed branch of the PYD, the terrorist PKK’s Syrian affiliate. "ISIS constitutes an enormous threat to the region and beyond. Terror is our common enemy, and Turkey’s determination to fight terrorism remains firm. We also would like to draw attention to serious human right violations committed by the YPG, which deserve a more detailed and separate investigation," Turkey's ambassador to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... office in Geneva, Mehmet Ferden Carikci, told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. "YPG acts such as trying to change demographics and kidnapping local Kurdish politicians may lead to Syria falling apart," he warned. Noting that despite relevant UN Security Council resolutions, the Syrian regime has continued to block unimpeded humanitarian access, Carikci said, "The UN Joint Investigation Mechanism recently confirmed that the Syrian regime is responsible for the use of chemical weapons in at least two cases, which is both a war crime and a crime against humanity. The regime has the same mindset as ISIS, which also used chemical weapons." |
