 The "genocide" does not include the practice of large-scale killings against an ethnic group only, but there are other measures that fall within the framework of "genocide" if committed intentionally by one of the parties.

 It falls within the framework of what is known as genocide working to destroy society, the country and sovereignty, in addition to committing systematic killings.

 Turkey..a long history of genocide

 Researchers in history believe that the Ottoman Empire, on whose ruins current Turkey was founded, was based on bloodshed and massacres of the peoples of Mesopotamia and the Anatolian plateau.

 Perhaps the most prominent historical stations of the Ottoman-Turkish bloody approach were the Armenian massacres (1914-1916), which figures say that one and a half million Armenians perished as a result.

 In addition to the  Sayfo massacres against the Assyrians (1915-1920), which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, and the massacres of Christian Greeks, which claimed the lives of about half a million Greeks during World War I and a few years later.

 It is clearly noted that the Ottomans, before the collapse of their state, liquidated millions of non-Turks in the geographical spot that is now known as Turkey, and the Greeks and Armenians were the most prominent victims.

 After the establishment of the modern Turkish state following the Lausanne Agreement (1923), Turkey - the heir of the Ottomans - began systematic killing operations against the Kurds, who constitute a large proportion in Turkey.

 Dersim district in Bakur (Northern Kurdistan) was the scene of a new massacre at the hands of the neo-Ottomans, between 1937-1938, which according to some statistics killed 40,000 Kurds and displaced thousands of others.

 The massacre was neither the first nor the last, but it was one of the most heinous crimes committed by the neo-Ottomans against the Kurds, as it was followed by a policy of extermination against the Kurds at home and abroad.

 On this, Kurdish writer and political activist Buzan Karao says that "Turkish hostility to the peoples of the region, especially the Kurds, is not limited to Erdogan. Rather, it is a historical hostility to humanity that is not new to today, as it targets the history of the peoples of the region."

 He adds: "Their crimes are countless, for example, the execution of Jamal Pasha, the Ottoman-Turkish butcher of a group of Arab resisters on May 6, 1916, the Armenian massacre between 1915-1916, the Zilan massacre in which more than 15,000 Kurds were martyred.  Some of the survivors of this tragedy conveyed horrific testimonies about the massacre committed by Turkish forces in Zilan. They spoke of the Turks using machine guns and bayonets during the executions of the Kurds, and their slashing the stomachs of many pregnant women, in addition to hundreds of massacres.

 North and East Syria, a new Turkish arena for a new genocide!

 The Turkish military and political dealings with northern and eastern Syria show that the Turkish authorities are moving steadily towards committing a new genocide, to be added to the Turkish/Ottoman record of massacres.

 The Turkish occupation attack on Afrin, Serêkaniyê/Ras al-Ain, Gire Spi/Tal Abyad and other occupied Syrian areas brought Turkey back, displacing the Kurds from it and harassing those who remained of them, bringing to mind the history of Turkey and its ancestors.

 Turkey has worked systematically to displace the Kurds from the occupied Syrian areas, as it has killed hundreds during its attacks.

 This coincides with Turkey targeting everything that reaches the Kurds;  Historically, culture, and existence, through Turkification campaigns, and in the targeted areas, it seeks by various means to destroy the social structure by supporting groups that promote drugs from the occupied Syrian areas. It also bears full responsibility for blocking the waters of the Euphrates River and exposing Syria to the risk of food and water insecurity.

 In addition to contributing to the tightening of the economic and political siege on the Autonomous Administration areas, with the aim of restricting the population to push them to emigrate, and preparing the ground for new occupation attacks.

 On the 20th of this April, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan came out in a speech before his party's deputies meeting in Parliament and threatened to launch new attacks on NES.

 'An enmity as old as history before the emergence of the Kurdistan Workers' Party'

 The writer Buzan Karao says that "there are those who are trying to link Turkey's hostility to the Kurds in northeastern Syria with its fight against the PKK, but in fact the reader of history is well aware that this hostility is as old as history before the emergence of the PKK and the birth of the party's leader, Mr. Abdullah Ocalan,  Therefore, Turkey's goal in its bombing of northeastern Syria is to strike the Autonomous Administration and eliminate the Kurdish dream in Western Kurdistan (northeastern Syria)."

 The political activist and writer residing in the Austrian capital Vienna added that "Erdogan himself stated in one of his speeches: "We will not allow the establishment of a swamp-like (terrorist corridor) in northern Iraq on our southern border in northern Syria."  To make way for al-Nusra and al-Qaeda networks, to revive the role of Muslim Brotherhood groups and al-Qaeda offshoots, and to enable the dissemination and distribution of what are known as notorious lone wolves, to carry out bombings and assassinations not only throughout Syria, but also abroad.

 Looking to the future, the Kurdish writer said, "It seems  that the government of Ankara insists on pursuing this direction, and does not care much about the positions of Arab and non-Arab neighboring countries, not even the five permanent members of the Security Council."

 Confrontation options

 Member of the Leadership Committee of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Murat Karayilan, says in his last statements, which he made after Turkey launched new genocidal attacks on the legitimate defense areas in Başûr (Southern Kurdistan) on the 17th of this April, that the ongoing war there is based on a strategy whose first goal is to eliminate  The PKK and then the achievements of the Kurdish people, and then the control of the Arab peoples, as they aim to put the two capitals, Erbil and Baghdad under their rule.

 In fact, this strategy applies to the Turkish war in Syria. It is true that Turkey targets the Kurds in the first place, but if it succeeds in eliminating them, the next role will be on the Arabs, and history shows the great Turkish/Ottoman hostility to non-Turkish nationalities.

 From this point of view, writer and political activist Bozan Karao says that "the peoples of the region must unite to confront the new Ottoman goals and intentions led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who established a new Janissary army from the terrorist Syrian opposition represented by the Syrian National Coalition opposition to thwart his plans aimed at planting the seeds of division and dispersal  and hostility.”

 In practice, the Syrian Democratic Forces, whose banner includes Arabs, Kurds, Syriacs and others, is the only force facing Turkish expansion inside Syria.
