Staff | truthdig.com | 2019-10-25

Don't Call it Ethnic Cleansing: Erasing Turkey's State Terrorism in Syria
Anthony DiMaggio | counterpunch.org | 2019-10-24
Turkey's incursion into northern Syria is a continuation of its longstanding policy of ethnic cleansing against the Kurds. This policy dates back decades, and is pursued in the name of fighting the "terrorism" of Kurdish nationalists who seek an independent Kurdistan. But Turkey's policies amount to a vicious form of state terrorism and collective punishment against an entire people.
