"At the #WorldDecolonizationForum, Dr. Esra #Albayrak, the daughter of #Turkish President Recep Tayyip #Erdogan, spoke about their endeavour to “decolonize” the West. The first phase of their plan as she says is not within the political realm, but the realm of knowledge and thought. Their alliance is not advocating for a world without the West, rather, there is an open invitation for the West to accept its own “decolonization”. The current centers of knowledge located in #Paris, #London, #Amsterdam. And #NewYork; need to be replaced by new centers in #Istanbul, #Jakarta, #AddisAbbaba, #Rabat, #Cairo, and #Gaza." #corrupt #corruption #fraud #statisticalfraud #immigration #illegalimmigration #terrorism #domesticterrorism #Muslim #Muslims #Islam #Islamic #Islamism #jihad #jihadi https://archive.ph/UMLw6 "Quite the chutzpah for #Turkey to open this kettle of fish. If #Turkey is now committed to "#decolonization," does that mean they will give back the lands taken from the many ethnic and religious minorities who have been victims of #Ottoman & #Turkish #imperialism? Will the #Armenians have their ancient lands restored to them, or receive reparations for the #genocide inflicted on them in 1915? The #Kurds given the right of self-determination? The ancient #Greek regions returned? Will the 1974 #Turkish invasion and occupation of Northern #Cyprus be reversed? Will the descendants of #Jewish families who fled #Kemalist policies of forced assimilation be given compensation? Will the #HagiaSophia be returned the #Greek #Orthodox #Patriarchate, from whom it was stolen? Will there be a truth & reconciliation project recognizing the millions of slaves taken & trafficked by the #OttomanEmpire, particularly the countless boys kidnapped from #Balkan #Christian families for forced military service? Will compensation be given to #Christians for the hundred of Churches and monasteries destroyed? The possibilities for Turkish decolonization are endless." https://archive.ph/u9q7K
