Certainly those who accuse Turkey of discrimination are not only
those who lack information about this matter. Some intelligence offi-
cers, politicians and writers who are ready to do whatever needs to be
done for a Kurdish state to be established in the region – even though
they are very well aware of the true nature of the PYD – are frantical-
ly trying to use the situation there to their advantage. As a matter of
fact, almost all of the mainstream media has been used to this end and

European and American politicians have forwarded serious criticisms
about this point against the Turkish government. The reason why
Turkey did not help the terrorists from the YPG has been questioned
numerous times, and Turkey has been placed under enormous pres-
sure by an international dictatorship during this period. Right now,
Turkey is probably the only country in the history of the world which
is being questioned why it is not helping blood-guilty terrorists

who've been killing its citizens for years. This extraordinarily weird
situation has somehow never been voiced by anyone: Turkey has
been made the target of a smear campaign, masterfully planned and
implemented, especially by the international media oligarchy.

Let us state an important point here; in the Southeast of Turkey,
the PKK has suppressed our brothers, particularly Kurds, for some
four decades and the great majority of the people they've killed are
Kurdish as well. The same situation is also valid for the Rojava region
in the north of Syria. Our Kurdish brothers there have for years been
crashed under the horrific persecution of the PYD, which is an exten-

sion of the PKK.

During the first years of the civil war in Syria, the first Kurdish
refugees to reach Turkey from Rojava came from the Jazira canton.
