Türkiye National Day
The attached statement by the Secretary of State congratulating the Türkiye people on the 101st anniversary of the Republic, refers “to our shared values and mutual interests.”
I assume the shared values includes, but not limited to:
· 1974 illegal invasion and continued occupation of our strong ally, the
Republic of Cyprus.
· Support of terrorist groups, Hamas, Isis and Hezbollah.
· Partnership with Russia and Iran.
· No sanctions on Russia and the purchase of the S400 defense system.
· Bombing of the Kurds in Syria.
· Religious freedom and conversion of Saint Sophia Cathedral to a mosque.
· Refusal to allow our troops to cross during Desert Storm.
· Restricting the use of our American base in Türkiye.
· Violations of the Exclusive Economic Zones of Greece and Cyprus.
· Interfering in the war between Armenia and Azerbajian.
· Interfering in our war against Isis.
· Interfering in our efforts to stabilize Libya.
· Imprisonment of Journalists and the restriction of Freedom of Speech.
· Veto the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO.
· Blackmailing Europe with illegal migration.
The list of shared values with Türkiye is extensive and I guess American values are no longer meaningful to our State Department.
