Dictators love to collect stuff and turn it into useless stuff
Yep and enslave everyone.
If not enslaved, they kill them.
You may have read about it, but if you haven’t; just look at the things they have done to Christian churches that they took. They took them by forcing the church members to leave over time. Slow Cultural Genocide. In other times it was not slow but so brutal it was the reason that the word genocide was created.
And now, they have gone so far as to have agents in the EU, UK and even in the US. Yes, I do not exaggerate, they have active agents in the US seeking to silence those who dare tell the truth about Turkey. I have a friend who is a writer (grew up in Turky, but is in the US) who has vanished from Twitter. I suspect they have threatened her family.
And in France 3 female Kurd activists were murdered and it is much talked about public knowledge that Turks did it, and in Germany the found a ring of plotters doing the same thing.
I’ve had 2 of them follow me on Twitter and they wanted to meet with me in the US. Not going to happen. They said they were Kurds, but into conversation the questions gave them away. If they are ethnic Kurds they are Pro Turkey and supporting this crap.
Have another friend in Syria who is well know on the web, they contacted family and threatened them about what they would do if my friend continued to wrote the truth about the Turks.
Evil things surround/support Erdogan the Islamist.
