The Republic of Turkiye (formerly Turkey (formerly Ottoman Empire)) is a genocidal shithole located in West Asia, as well as a small part of Europe which they conquered from the Byzantine Empire (currently Greece).

Kuz is moving to Turkiye, which is problematic because the Turks have committed several genocides and war crimes which they still haven't apologized for.

List of War Crimes

If Kuz moves the Kolyma servers to Turkiye, it will become illegal to criticize the Turkish government on soyjak.party. We can protest this by making threads about Turkish war crimes on /soy/.

Armenian Genocide

In 1915, over 1 million Armenian Christians were ethnically cleansed from Anatolia by Muslim Turks and Kurds. This was done because the ruling party of the Ottoman Empire considered them potential traitors because they were Christian. The Turkish government has consistently denied the Armenian Genocide because admitting to it would have negative implications on Turkish nationalism.

Greek and Assyrian Genocides

In addition to the Armenian Genocide, the Ottoman Turks also genocided around half a million Greeks (mostly from the Pontic region) and Assyrians living in the Ottoman Empire, also because they were Christian.

Kurdish-Turkish Conflict

During WWI, the Ottoman Empire genocided Christian minorities like Armenians and Assyrians and replaced them with Muslims like Kurds, which is why the majority of East Turkey is now Kurdish. After WWI, the new Republic of Turkey decided to embrace Turkish nationalism, which put them into conflict with Kurds who didn't want to be Turdish. The Turkish government denied the existence of Kurds for several decades, claiming that they were "Mountain Turks" who needed to be forcibly assimilated. This retardation resulted in a lot of massacres and an on-going insurgency in East Turkey.

Invasion of Cyprus

By moving to North Cyprus, Kuz is settling land which was invaded and stolen from the native Cypriots in 1974. The international community considers the North Cyprus territory as Turkish-occupied territory of the Republic of Cyprus. The occupation is viewed as illegal under international law, amounting to illegal occupation of European Union territory since Cyprus became a member.
