That is not what I meant. The general Kurdish people and the communist groups are not the same. I remembered last year hearing that YPG have droved the Arab locals out of their villages and wants to suppress the language. True? If yes, then whatever happened to the Arab locals in the YPG...

But why? Where is the "freedom of speech"? PDF is not North Korea and I am sure this is not in punishable by law in Turkey right?

Italy's fault, not the countries in Africa. Italy is among those who intervened directly in the Libyan conflict (Italy is Libya's neighbor) then leaving the country in the hand of corrupted tribal warlords. France included. Had the conflict in Libya solved straight after Ghaddafi fell, this...

What about the Kurdish force? Do they have any goals of cultural changes on the Suuni Arabs in the North? I mean, they have the vast territories of the North which you can see on the latest map.

Have anyone noticed Turks here are hardly talking about Erdogan these days? I remember how many Erdogan bashing post there was back 3 years ago lol. I think I know why. :)

Ethnically, I always assume the "real" Arabs originate from the Arabian Peninsula, aka the true descendent of Prophet Ismail, the rest aren't but assimilated. But I think after the spread of Islam and the conqueat, the term "Arab" have various meaning like mix of many races who got to adopt the...

He went from the bottom to the top. I remember back hearing he was too weak against the Kemalist and the public or couldn't do actions to change the country due to fears of being toppled like Adnan Menderes and the others so he learned the lesson. He reminds me of Senator Palpatine (no one knew...

I have always wondered why the previous Muslim empires haven't bothered discovering the oils despite ruling over the Peninsula for over 1,000 years. The Ottoman empire could have done this since they only fell recently and the oil discoveries were also recent. The British/French quickly...

YPG/PKK became Internationally recognized War on ISIS Intervention Refugee crisis Western betrayal Shifting alliance with Russia Coup Political turmoil Terrorist attack. All happen in 2016 alone. I wonder what will happen in 2017...

Reminds me of Emperor Palpatine. :D

It will end soon. The growing far right popularity leaders in Europe who seem to more pro-Russian than USA and Turkey (the second largest NATO) says it all.

Syria would be divided into informal zones of regional power influence and Bashar al-Assad would remain president for at least a few years under an outline deal between Russia, Turkey and Iran, sources say. Such a deal, which would allow regional autonomy within a federal structure controlled...

I still haven't got the answer what Turkey and the rebels will do once they secure Al Bab/Mabij? What will they do if Assad (and hisdecide to move East? Confront them? Remember, this is the Syrian opposition you are partnering with. They could probably go back and re-launch an offensive in the...

I think Saudi Arabia never cared about who runs Egypt, it was all about the Muslim Brotherhood who was the main threat to KSA. They would do everything to get rid of them and I believe that's why they gave Al Sissi tens of billion dollars as a gift to completely eradicate the Muslim Brotherhood...

Assad has Russian backing and he is fighting the rebels, the very same rebels who are fighting alongside with Turkey. Just picture what will happen if he re-capture Idlib alongside with Russia then decide to reach the North and East? What will Russia do? The same thing they did in Aleppo? What...
