“Anatolia is witnessed developments that are very similar to what happened to the Armenians on April 24^th. This time, it is Kurdish political figures and intellectuals being attacked and apprehended in their homes, not Armenian political figures and intellectuals, writes Ermenihaber.am.

Such actions against Kurdish political leaders were inevitable, especially when Erdogan’s frustration is added to the fear of schism that is ingrained in the genes of the state,” writes Ergyun Babahan, columnist for the Turkish haberdar.com newspaper.

The author states that the Turkish government is fighting against the Kurds. Moreover, by government, in this case we need to understand not only Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP), but also the Republican People’s Party (CHP), the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and Homeland Party, which are ready to join forces with the AKP even temporarily for the sake of relieving themselves of the Kurds.

“In this stage of history, the state of the Kurds is no different from the state of the Armenians who have remained alone against the Sunni Muslims.

Fascism is growing in Turkey every day, but the response of the European Union and the United States is very weak. In spite of the humanitarian pathos, the West places its own interest above everything else and prefers to look at the events taking place in Turkey form the perspective of a spectator.”

Babahan notes that if this wasn’t the case, Erdogan could implement his threat and send millions of Syrians to Europe, turning the whole world upside down.

According to the author of the article, when the ancient nation of Anatolia was being extirpated from its lands, Germany was the ally of the Ottoman Empire. Today, the ally is Russia.

“There may not be caravans stretching towards the Syrian deserts or newborns being killed by being thrown off cliffs, but a very senseless and incomprehensible tragedy is taking place in our days.”

Babahan draws attention to the fact that an attempt is currently being made to deprive the Kurds of their identity and make them convert to Sunni.

“The state having extirpated the Armenians from these lands is certain that it can definitely achieve this goal as well and that since it has done it in the past, it can do it again.”

“Today, Anatolia is on the brink of a tragedy once again. It will either witness the bloody events similar to those that took place in 1915, or it will split by losing unity and consolidation,” the author concludes.
