    Seriously , do you have any evidence that PKK was behind it? If yes, we would love to see it, too.

    The PKK's murdering of a Turkish diplomat in Erbil provides Ankara with casus belli against the group --if proven guilty-- in Iraq and Syria (Washington will have to all but agree to a potential Turkish incursion into Syria+Iraq to punish the group for killing a Turkish diplomat)

    All fingers have been pointed at the PKK but it has denied involvement with the assassinations.

    Whoever did this harmed Kurdistan’s reputation as a safe haven for diplomats and foreigners. And, they helped Turkey to further justify its military incursion into Kurdistan Region. Bad move in every sense possible.

    Reports that a number of Turkish diplomats had been shot in a restaurant in Erbil.

    Would ever tell a white immigrant - whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th+ generation - to "go back to your country"? No. That's why the comments were racist and unacceptable. America is a nation of immigrants founded on the ideals of free thought and free speech. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Blackmailing the USA did not work. Turkey has already defected. It tried to blackmail Washington to get concessions, crush Kurds, and have the USA overlooking Turkey's support for Jihadists in Syria.

    An Istanbul-based Turkish publishing house has decided to pull a translation of ‘Eleven Minutes’ off the shelves after readers realized that the translated version omitted the word ‘Kurdistan’ & changed it to ‘Middle East.’

    Creating thousands of job opportunities as claimed by IKR president is good. But in what sector? Are we going to have more cafes, restaurants, mini markers, supermarkets, malls? It seems to me that every house in Kurdistan is about to become a cafe or a restaurant.

    The brain of the Turkish retired general seems to be retired as well. Let him see the Turkish-Israel trade in 2019.

    Turkish retired General Ergin Saygun just said US wants to create a state in northern Syrian in order to have a pro-Israel country in the Middle East. This conspiracy used to be about until US helped abort independence after 2017 referendum.

    They're from America, and you're right about one thing: Currently their government is a complete and total catastrophe.

    So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

    Turkey has made a very bad choice. This is not the conduct of an ally. Unless it reverses course, Turkey will not receive the F-35 aircraft and any move to deploy the Russian S-400 system must be met with immediate sanctions under U.S. law.
