Turkey in No Position To School Israel on Human Rights
Until it comes terms with its own violations, Turkey should not offer lessons in human rights to other countries, writes Orhan Kemal Cengiz.
Who can take Turkey seriously when it accuses Israel of crimes against humanity and then lays out a red-carpet state reception for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who has an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court?
Or let’s put it another way: Can the Turkey that couldn’t settle the accounts of its massive human rights violations against the Kurds in the past and couldn’t even apologize for what happened to the Armenians in 1915, place Israel’s crimes against humanity on the world's agenda?
