Turkish PM Erdogan likens Xinjiang violence to 'genocide'
Comments (9)

Uighurs are not aboriginal peoples of XinJiang

Firstly, XinJiang(Western Region) is part of China during Han, Tang, Yuan, Qing Dynasty. Because the Zunghars(a branch of Mogols) living in XinJiang rebeled Munchus ruling time after time. The Qing Emperor Qianlong ordered to exterminate the Zunghar race, thus create a vacuum for the Uighurs to fill in. The Manchus accept them because they've no place to go and willing to become the subjects of China. Western media always accuse China of Han colonialism without studying the history first, drawing conclusion from their colonization of the New World and Australia is unacceptable.

will Turkey be a terrorist home?

The Turkish PM regarding the recent violence by Uighurs mobs in Xinjiang are completely bullshits.
All are about how the Chinese government crack down the Uighurs ethin minority without mentioning how many favorable policies they enjoyed for decades which Han Chinese majorities could not. They can have many more babies whereas Han is not allowed by the law and these stupid backward and lazy could get extra grades for college extrance which Han Chinese never dream of but to work hard silently without complaint.Many more favorable policies by the Chinese government have backfired, which spoiled these Uighurs separatists ,terrorists and extremists as becoming one privileged class on the other hand.
Now the spoiled minorities become a monester of stomping and hurling to death month-old Han babies and 60- and 70-year olds demonstrated in the violence.

Get a grip, Erdogan.

This inane outburst from Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is an excellent demonstration as to why the EU is very reluctant to pursue the accession of Turkey, to the EU. It is highly unlikely that the Chinese authorities are conducting a pogrom against the Uighurs, who also happen to be Muslims. Furthermore, when Tayyip Erdogan even thinks of less than 200 deaths as something akin to a genocide, he is ether speaking from the perspective of a clouded judgement, or playing to gallery back in Turkey, as a way to underpin his efforts to promote something akin to an Islamic hegemony, at home and abroad. Whichever, he demeans the whole concept of a genocide and its catastrophic nature.

Truth?

Both China and the pro independence movements distort the truth. China has represed these people and taken over thier land for half a century, and people are shocked this is happening? Why? Everyone understands Israel/Palestine conflict, this is not much different only it started instead of with war, with the heavy handed Chinese taking over and imposing their government and taking their land.

Geocide

hmmm.... I think Australians should look at themselves!!!! The Turks have a ethnic relationship with the peoples of East Turkestan. the Chinese hardly have a enlightened approach. Look at Tibet? Its good that someone speaks out.

Distorting the facts is what China does the best

As if China does not have a reputation for distorting the facts! As in Tiananmen Square massacre... Your words reek of Islamophobia and crude nationalism. Get rid of one-sided, unjust opinions and start believing in fundamental human rights. The name Xinjiang itself is another sign of China's way of distorting the facts, an invented name to avoid using East Turkestan... Truth will prevail.

What about Armenian genocide then!?

hmmm i think the turks should have a look at themselves first.....

Stop

I can not understand why Turkey has termed the violence as genocide. Firstly, it is obvious that people who believe in ISLAM killed Han Chinese, because of the 180 deaths, 137 are Han Chinese. As every foreign reporter allowed to cover the event freely in Xinjiang has witnessed, China has never conducted organized killing of those Uighurs. And it is the case in every country that those involved in such overwhelming events be detained firstly. As I know, China has sent thousands of soldiers to isolate the neighbourhoods of Uighur and Han Chinese, and from the footnotes of BBC, you can find heavy deployments of troops around mosquoes so that Han Chinese won't hurt them. Absolutely, I can not understand why Turkey has made such unreasonable comments.

Stop distorting the facts!

Are Muslim countries completely blind to the truth of the Xinjiang massacre? There are news reports, photos and videos all over the web, pointing to the fact it was sword-wielding UYGHUR MOBSTERS who massacred Han Chinese civilians. 136 of the 184 dead are Hans. They were beheaded, little babies have their heads smashed, others were burned to death. Is the Muslim reaction supposed to be salt rubbed into Chinese wounds?

They didn't succeed in turning Kashmir or Chechnya or Palestine into Islamic states, so now, they cast a lustful eye at Xinjiang. Xinjiang was, is, and will always be China's.

As for Turkey wanting to boycott Chinese goods? Please go right ahead! It will hurt Turkey much more than it will hurt China.
