Turkey's proxy war : Pan-Islamism, Jihadi groups and crimes against Kurds in Iraq and Syria

Human rights violations in Turkey have been widely reported in print and electronic media across the globe to expose the so-called Amerul Momineen of Ottoman Empire Recep Tayyip Erdogan. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet noted in a statement that human rights situation in parts of northern Syria under the control of Turkish forces and Turkish-affiliated armed groups was “grim, with violence and criminality rife” UN Human Rights office warned that an alarming pattern of grave violations in these areas, including in Afrin, Ras al-Ain, and Tel Abyad, where increased killings, kidnappings, unlawful transfers of people, seizures of land and properties and forcible evictions have been documented.President of Genocide Watch, Dr. Gregory H. Stanton, (October 08, 2019) warned that Kurds, Christians, and Yezidis in Northeast Syria are at grave risk of genocide by the armies of Turkey and Syria: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced his intention to create a “twenty-mile buffer zone” in northeastern Syria, an area now controlled by the Kurdish and Arab Syrian Democratic Forces. He has conducted a diplomatic offensive to get promises of non-interference from Russia, Iran, and the US for his invasion of Syria. Turkey has already stationed tens of thousands of troops, tanks, and heavy artillery along the Syrian border.Noor Dahri is Founder & Executive Director of Islamic Theology of Counter Terrorism (ITCT). Turkey is committing crimes against humanity across a region spanning Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This book is the first to explain the machinations that the country's leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has put in motion in his rise to power from leading the Muslim Brotherhood's Istanbul branch to President. The atrocities being committed are ongoing and continue against a backdrop of global condemnations of the dismal security situation and violence that exists within areas controlled by Turkish forces. The book highlights the long-simmering conflict between Turkey and its Kurdish minority, which has spread further afield and resulted in the targeting of the Kurdistan Workers' Party in Iraq even as popular discontent grows against the Erdogan regime at home and abroad. Erdogan's murky political and military-strategic agenda is further exacerbated by Turkey's fomentation of ISIS and deployment of the terrorist group's militants. This book describes how Turkish intelligence operatives smuggled ISIS militias into Libya and Azerbaijan, who then carried out heinous war crimes with the intent to destabilize the region. Moreover, the desperate situation of Syrian refugees has been exploited by the Turkish administration, which has hijacked their plight in a cynical manoeuvre to exert political pressure on Europe while also routing refugees into Kurdish territory, dubbing it a "safe zone". The Muslim world does not know enough about Erdogan's dangerous authoritarian leadership and its grave consequences. This book aims to change that by revealing the continuity between Pan Islamism, Turkish Islamisation, and Erdogan's proxy militias, and how those interrelationships have led to war crimes against Kurdish people in Iraq and Syria.
