Denmark warns Turkish PM to postpone visit as Germany mulls legal options

March 13, 2017 By administrator

Denmark has joined a growing list of countries to block Turkey’s attempts at political campaigns in Europe. Germany’s interior minister says there could be legal avenues to bar entry to referendum campaigners.

Denmark’s prime minister suggested his Turkish counterpart postpone his visit due to “tensions” between Ankara and the Netherlands, he said in a statement on Sunday.

Danish public broadcaster DR reported Binali Yildirim had planned to visit the country on March 20 but Denmark’s Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said that such a visit could not take place in light of “the current Turkish attack on Holland.”

“Under normal circumstances, it would be a pleasure to welcome the Turkish prime minister,” Rasmussen said in a statement. He told DR that the Danish government was “very concerned” about political developments in Turkey.

Ankara is squabbling with several European countries over its attempts to rally support among the Turkish diaspora for an April referendum aimed at expanding President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s powers.

Legal avenues to curtail campaigns

On Sunday, Germany’s Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said there were legal avenues to stop Turkish politicians campaigning in the European Union for the referendum.

“A Turkish campaign has no business being here in Germany,” he told German public broadcaster ARD, saying he is “strongly opposed politically” to such events.

German local authorities scrapped several campaign appearances over logistical problems, prompting anger from Ankara. The row escalated further at the weekend when the Netherlands blocked Turkish ministers from entering the country for rallies.

De Maiziere said he was opposed to such appearances, but the imposition of an outright entry ban required careful consideration.

“There are limits, clear limits, for example in the criminal code. It is hardly followed,” he said.

“Someone who insults and maliciously condemns Germany or its constitution has committed a criminal offense. That would at least be a limit,” he said.

Nazi practices

Erdogan described Germany’s actions as “Nazi practices,” sparking consternation in Berlin.

Chancellor Angela Merkel called such rhetoric “depressing,” saying it belittled Holocaust victims and was “so out of place as to be unworthy of serious comment.”

Merkel said any future rallies were “possible as long as they are duly announced, in a timely manner, and in an open way.”

On Sunday, German lawmakers called for a withdrawal of German troops from Turkey.

‘War against terrorism’: Assad vows to continue fight, crush dreams of ‘fascist’ Erdogan

Syrian President Bashar Assad has vowed to continue the government’s “war against terrorism,” slamming the “fascist regime” of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The remarks came after Ankara reportedly sent troops to fight alongside rebels in Aleppo.

“Our war on terrorism will continue not because we like war. They imposed the war on us,” Assad said in a speech to the newly-elected parliament on Tuesday, reiterating the role that foreign countries have played in Syria’s five-year civil war. “The shedding of blood will not end until we uproot terrorism, wherever it is.”

Assad also said he plans to win back “every inch” of Syria, and that Aleppo will be a graveyard for Erdogan’s ambitions.

“Aleppo will become a tomb where all dreams and hopes of this butcher will be buried,” the Syrian president said, as quoted by TASS.

“The fascist regime of Erdogan focused its attention on Aleppo as it was crushed in Syria and this is the last hope to implement its ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ Islamist project,” he continued.

The Erdogan remarks come after the Syrian leader accused the Turkish president – a major supporter of those fighting to oust Assad from office – of recently sending thousands of insurgents to fight government troops in Aleppo.

Russia, which has been on a bombing campaign against Islamic State and other terrorist groups in Syria since September, said on Saturday that more than 2,000 militants had mobilized in the Aleppo area.

The city and its surrounding area – located on the border with Turkey – have been a focal point of the country’s bloody civil war, divided between government and rebel control. Aleppo is Syria’s second-largest city and former commercial hub.

Assad also blamed the opposition for its failure of three rounds of indirect peace talks in Geneva this year, calling his opponents “traitors for foreign countries who have become mats for the feet of their masters.”

He went on to thank Russia, China, and Iran for the support they have provided to the Syrian government. He also expressed gratitude towards the Lebanese Shia Muslim group Hezbollah.

The Syrian president emphasized the strong ties between the alliance, particularly with Iran and Russia, saying it was stronger than ever. He stressed that people should not listen to reports about “differences, struggles, and divisions.”

That statement came just one day after Moscow said it would provide “the most active” support to the government in order to prevent Aleppo from falling into the hands of terrorists.

The Syrian government has made advances since Russia began its aerial campaign, helping troops capture Palmyra in March.

“The way we liberated Palmyra and before that many areas, we will liberate every last bit of Syria from their hands. We have no choice but to be victorious,” Assad said during his speech.

He went on to reiterate that he has no intention of backing down and allow a sectarian partition of Syria, something he said is against the fundamental principles of the country’s constitution.

“A sectarian system turns the sons of the nation into enemies and foes,” he said.

The speech came as the government continued an advance to capture IS strongholds on Tuesday, including Raqqa. Syria’s air force also destroyed several IS positions south of Raqqa, according to the state news agency SANA.

Syria’s civil war, which shows no signs of ceasing, has led to the deaths of more than 250,000 people and displaced over 12 million others, according to official UN figures.

ISIS contract, the latest Turkish Fascist regime & its Colonial Masters’ Humanoid Weapon

By Steve Tataii,

Turkish FM attempts to plot against Kurds in other sarcastic words in media photo-op. I have to remind him; that: you, and your predecessor with names ending “Oglu” are a fine example of the fascist Turkish regime, practicing alive & well in 21st century. A hardcore Tyranny not easily toppled leftover of the 20th century type, which won’t go down as easily as some of Arab dictators in the “Arab Spring” or under other new political labels in their respective regions yet to be made if you will.

Your recent words end with: “Iraq needs a non-sectarian army”. This is a clear declaration; that you, and your old rotten kemalist regime will never learn nor change, in fact, it will only ascend along the same fascist lines. Not only that, but it clearly defines you as the same in nature to the fascist Arab mentality against Kurds because you, Turk, Arab, and PERSIC regime elements are all usurper occupiers of the Kurdish land, and despite your clever sleazy masks on your hidden vicious faces, you still want to continue to occupy Kurdistan, and you still want to massacre Kurds and commit more genocides against Kurds, and you still want to serve your international corporation masters, whom have empowered you to usurp, rule & occupy Kurdistan since the 1923’s callous partition of the 50+ million Kurdish people’s nation by their top dog on the list non-other than the 1920’s Britain & France colonial players.

You all have used everything in your power to destroy Kurdish nation, but your latest ISIS is a clever contract scheme, but quite a vicious clumsy stupid & reckless surprise aggression against Kurds, but it is now like a deflating tire on a moving car fast being flattened before your eyes, which means it has failed.

Now, remotely from Ankara, your regime want to set up another army made up of non-Sectarians to turn Arabs against Kurds, and envisioning Kurds against Kurds as well if you can pull it off.

Your regime assumes it can keep on plotting against Kurds overtly in the media, and get away with it every single time, but I assure you; that your audience understand exactly where you’re trying to lead them to believe, and that’s how you, the “Oglu Twins”, and the regime now led by “Rejeb khan=Teyyeb Agha” (the newly arisen Kemal, or at least that’s what he may want to be known in history), openly bringing in the foreign ISIS filthy animals into the region, and especially released across the sacred Kurdish land, thinking you’ll get away with it

Make no mistake about it; that all you greedy & power hungry Turkey’s little Tyrants are about to have your wishes come true, and unlike your desires get your chance for that “Turkish Spring”, and other FINNALS you’ve been waiting for very soon.

I only hope you’ll all wise up, admit to your crimes against humanity, and leave Kurdistan alone before starting another bloody World War with no winners, but losers unless the West shall try to stop you “Gone Mad Maniacs”, because your makers “Britain & France” may not be able to stop you.

They’ve created a monster like you to rob the region from their natural resources of mainly “Oil revenues”, hence national revenues within their own independent & sovereign nations particularly “Kurdistan”. Robbed of those revenues for over 100 years, and live in unwanted Wars under 4 Tyrant regimes constantly killing their civilians with armies the two colonial thieves armed & equipped them with, while the two after that 100 years are still too damn arrogant, and sure of themselves to admit what their past predecessor colonial powers did, living in denials from their colonial past, but they could if they want to, and prevent more senseless “Wars” and blood sheds now that they have royally robbed Kurdistan from her 100 years of national revenues, especially costing Kurds hundreds of thousands of civilian lives.

Turkey, their prominent center stage for these Gigantic exploitation itself aside revenues from tourism, it became wealthier than its other Kurdistan usurper neighbors below from collecting TAXES, an economic tactic followed from their past Ottoman empire hegemony, but much more than that; when the stealing of oil from Kirkuk Kurdistan primarily by “BP”, passing it on to Britain, France, and other boys in the club have brought them even more money than TAXES in general from oil sales’ commissions alone (Taxing has been Britain’s main money making agenda kept in a lean money making machine protected by their huge number of Lawyers in a most bureaucratic legal system in the world, which is something that United States had to go to civil war for to free herself from “Tax Hell & Lawyer system” to be sovereign and Independent).

No, there will be no such thing as “non-sectarian army” to continue your occupation in the same old manufactured “Iraq” didn’t you know that, when the whole world does?

I’m afraid your last wishes will be doomed for ever; when Kurdistan, with 50+ million peace loving Kurds will be one of the greatest independent state in the world (it is about time now), and the abusive murderous hands of “all you” past colonial puppets, Turks, Arabs, and the minority little “PERSIC” dominated regimes will be off of all 4 partitioned Kurdistan, and your new humanoid weapon in form of “ISIS” bandits you’ve contracted through the long list of an army of mentally disturbed, deranged, druggy, and murderers in a computer search to maintain the above robbery of Kurdish revenues shall come to a halt now & for all times, so pay close attention to what I’m telling all you wise guys here.

The ISIS vicious young foreign contractor thugs, who want to do nothing but take precious lives of the innocent civilians for their pass time fun, because they’re the most vulnerable, and helpless of all, in surprise attacks, invasions, and sneak ups out there in any peaceful village, town or even cities, armed and trained by “all you” their scum protector & masters trickling them down mostly from Istanbul hotels or Terror Cells as we speak, and over the past 4 years.

An unworthy, senseless group under the name ISIS practicing the Video War Game they’ve watched most their young adult lives, now practicing those killings on innocent civilians. This was quiet a surprised method to continue the 100 year long Wars and killings against our peaceful Kurdistan population, and you’ve almost pulled it off if it wasn’t for a few good men & women world politicians out there you failed to bribe.

“You” freaking Turks & Brits failed pal, and you should really pack up your ISIS bullshit, and leave Kurdistan & the region as soon as possible or your own citizens may help you do it.

Keep on dreaming you Kemalists, Ba’sists. and PERSICS, because the consequences could be other springs, which would be coming to you shortly as you may have expected, and only then your “media over kill speech performances”, and surprised fancy moves via hired foreign “haftabijar” (mixed up) roaming filthy army will end for once and for all.

Even a child could have told you “not to play with Lions’ tail”, but doing so woke up Peshmerga forces in all of Kurdistan with this latest ISIS bullshit surprise, and when on behalf of the world’s peoples they will teach you your final lessons now that you’ve messed with lion’s tail.

Your imported ISIS scums are already on the run, and showing their real coward selves like “dirty rats”, once they’ve realized this in reality was not similar to Video War games, and now that drones have identified their identities their families too will have to pay for their “child neglect” of the vicious devils left unsupervised in internet cafes, while they too will likely have to serve time as well. You can all run now, but you can’t hide.

ISIS, don’t forget to pay the taxes to Peshmerga (of KRG, YPG, YPJ, PKK, KDPI, Komala, and PJAK) when they help you pass the gates of hell, and send you to where you always wanted to be.
