Turkey’s Wars: Quelling Kurdish Uprisings, and Suffering From Terror Attacks
Keywords: Turkey, Turkey Kurds, Turkey Erdogan, Turkey Refugees,
This NYT report by Patrick Kingsley shows how the hopes for peace with Kurds in Turkey under the Erdogan government have faded. By 2015 peace talks faltered with Kurdish separatist groups. Kingsley's report shows towns such as Sirnak and Cizre in the southeastern part of Turkey are now ghost towns after government troops and tanks moved in. This means that Turkey not only has about 3 million refugees from Syria and Iraq fleeing the war there, but also large numbers of refugees in Kurdish areas inside Turkey. Added to this are the tensions between the party of prime minister Erdogan and the opposition, following a crackdown and as the referendum for granting new powers to the presidency under Mr. Erdogan approaches.

The situation in Syria in 2017- negotiations between the U.S. supporting Kurdish forces in the north, Russia, and Turkey
03/09/2017
By 2016 Turkey sets aside its goal of supporting rebel forces in Syria to focus on what it perceives as a threat from Kurdish forces on its border with Syria. Russia supports Turkey against the Kurds, as the U.S. sends ground forces in small numbers to support the Kurds in the north, and negotiations take place between the three countries.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
