Turkey's Mardin Governorate has established a special Commission for Liquidation & Sharing of the properties owned by the Syriac community. — ???? ??? ????? (@zaliin) June 24, 2017
The Turkish-Armenian daily Agos reports:
After Mardin became a Metropolitan Municipality, its villages were officially turned into neighbourhoods as per the law and attached to the provincial administration. Following the legislative amendment introduced in late 2012, the Governorate of Mardin established a liquidation committee. The Liquidation Committee started to redistribute in the city, the property of institutions whose legal entity had expired. The transfer and liquidation procedures are still ongoing.

It would be better to burn them to the ground than to surrender them intact.
USPolicy:
(1) Unsuported allegations against Syrian government that has done nothing to the USA — attack!
(2) Turkey eradicating Christianity — do nothing.
The news to me is that there were still at least 50 Syriac Churches left in that part of Turkey.
One would think some of the churches must have seen this coming. E-Dog has been tightening the proverbial noose for over the last year. Ever since that ‘attempted coup’ which was likely staged.
That ‘attempted coup’, where armed soldiers allowed unarmed civilians to smack them over the head and snatch the soldiers guns away. When it happened I heard many of the soldiers had been told that ‘this was JUST A DRILL’, not the real thing. That makes sense when you allow for that scenario. Why else would the unarmed civilians be so bold?
Turkey should be kicked out of NATO. These are not the actions of a western or civilized nation.
Turkey cannot be trusted. It has two faces. One for muzzies and other savages. The other, a fake face, for normal people. They pretend to be our friends, but actually favor their best buds.
The genocidal Turks must be driven out of Anatolia into the howling wastes of the Asian Steppe.
Erdogan should be rolled up in a carpet to be trampled to death by horses and his body fed to pigs.
Mr. President Trump: We have a civilian DISASTER here !
Just DO it ———— BOMB THE H3LL OUT OF THEM !!!
Erdogan is reinstituting polices, and apparently recreating organizations, from the Genocides that Turkey committed in the early 20th century.
A trade, travel and immigration embargo against non-complying countries can be the next step, once we stop using Arab oil. Aside from oil, the Muslim world produces nothing of note anyhow.
“The genocidal Turks must be driven out of Anatolia into the howling wastes of the Asian Steppe.
Erdogan should be rolled up in a carpet to be trampled to death by horses and his body fed to pigs.”
Imagine what you’d do to him if you didn’t like him?

Correct.
That is a fact.
Thanks you sir.
There are a growing number of people who have observed this and know where this leads.
The Middle East is still divided. Not between Shia and Sunni, but between Jihadi’s and non-Jihadi’s. There was a time when that division was the same as the old Shia/Sunni divide. It appears to be not exactly that way now.
There is great risk and great potential reward associated with this.
If the move toward true secularism as is happening in parts of Syria actually jell due to the horrors of ISIS, we could see nations flower. If the norm is like Turkey, there will be huge blood bath and slaughter and destruction of nations.
May God help US all.
It is very clear to anyone who looks honestly at the actions of Turkey where they are going.
Every step has been in the direction of the Fascist past. And they openly advocate a Neo Ottoman Empire. And Erdogan has the arrogance of someone who truly believes he is “chosen” to rule such a “great nation” (sarcasm).
But this is not a movie, it is for real. We will need all the allies possible to prevent this disaster.
This is horrible.
