Turkey as an example of the wolf dressed in lamb's cloth

Dear Dr Pipes,

You specifically mentioned Gulen. The best question to ask Gulen, is what he thinks about Syria.

For example Ahmet Davutoglu, just recently in an interview of his in the CNN, said that the reason of what happened in Ukraine is not bombing Syria.

But what a bombing in Syria would have meant? It would have meant the active support of Al-qaeda, which is trying to overthrow Assad, who has the support of at least 70% of the Syrian population, according to CIA.

Also he dictated that the Syrian brutal regime shoulg have been bombed, but he failed to mention the genocide of the Syrian Christians commited by Al-qaeda and in co-ordination with the Turkish Army. It is a common secret that the Turkish Artilery is supporting the terrorists of Al-qaeda and as an exchange Al-qaeda is attacking the Kurds in Syria...

How is it possible for Davutoglu, who represents a genocidal state, a genocidal state that denies it's crimes completely, to dictate to the national community what it should do?

By the way, i haven't heard Gulen saying anything about the genocides committed by the Turks against the Christian populations, Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians, from 1914 to 1923 and completing the effort in 1955 and the modern genocide against the Kurds!

Of course Erdogan offered his condolences to the Armenians recently, being completely disrespectful to them, since after the condolences equalised the slaughtered with the slaughterers!

It would be interesting to
