Turkey: A Criminal State, a NATO State

It is now openly discussed even in
mainstream media the fact that Turkey has been intimately involved in
fomenting and supporting the war on Syria, with its ultimate goal of the
overthrow of the Syrian government and its replacement by a compliant
proxy aligned with Turkish President Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood.
That this is no longer a ‘conspiracy theory’ but a conspiracy fact not
only vindicates my analysis over the last four years, but it also brings
to the fore the nefarious role of a NATO member in stoking a brutal and
bloody war for its own ends.

Beyond just the war itself, Turkey has
been implicated in a wide variety of crimes (some constituting war
crimes) which cast Ankara in a very bad light: a supporter of terrorism,
a criminal government engaging in acts of aggression against its
neighbors and other world powers, the repression of journalists and
others who have brought the truth to the light of day, among many
others. Taken in total, it becomes clear that under President Erdogan
Turkey has become a belligerent actor with delusions of hegemony and a
complete disregard for human rights and sovereignty.

But how exactly has this transformation
happened? What has been proven regarding Turkish government actions that
make it so clear that the regime in Ankara is criminal in nature?
