Turkish air strikes: international law fracture and uninvolved victims!

Berlin, Deutschland - For days, Turkish bombing has been shaking the Kurdish areas in northern Syria and Iraq and demanding tragic victims. According to reports, at least twelve people were killed, which the Turkish government succinctly dismissed as collateral damage. The world looks away! While the EU and the United States only react with half -hearted protest notes, Turkey continues to bomb freely. Why? Because the geopolitical interests are triumphed on international law!

The decisive connections between Turkey and the West are strong. Turkey has become indispensable for Europe as an important trading partner, NATO member and as the main actor in the refugee drama. But in order not to burst this dangerous cork, millions flow to Turkey. Arms deliveries are still willingly continued, as Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised during his recent visit to Istanbul. Where is the ethos of foreign policy when it comes to tough interests?

The dilemma is further complicated by the hypocrisy of Turkish politics. President Erdogan, who accuses Israel of genocide because Israel chases "terrorists" in the Gaza Strip, but himself sends uninvolved people to death in neighboring countries, has a remarkable double morality. He plays with fates and nourishes the deceptive faith in his own fight against terror. It is particularly critical that Turkish attacks are often made before the assassins are identified. These brutal attacks blur the border between perpetrators and innocent people and make human suffering a shameless strategy.
