Freedom to those who kill innocents, captivity to the innocent

Things are happening in this world nowadays that we said could not happen. Could we have imagined that terrorists who killed 45 people would be released from prison without serving their sentences? Here, that happened. We were meant to see even this, and in our close vicinity. They had carried out a suicide attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport eight years ago. The bloodiest murderers in the world. In that attack, 45 people had lost their lives and 250 had been injured. Six members of the Islamic State, among those arrested, were later sentenced to 46 life sentences by the court. That is, life imprisonment. Eight years have passed since then. And now they are free. As if it were a New Year’s gift to the bloodthirsty jihadists. This is what the Supreme Court decided. Turkish Justice, giving freedom to murderers and captivity to innocents! As is known, the members of the Islamic State, whom it fed and raised, have now conquered Damascus, and it is pardoning them! It is making a gesture by releasing those who committed a mass murder in Istanbul! While it is doing this, it does not care at all about the relatives of those who lost their lives at that airport. Do you realise that we are living in days when terrorism and murder are legalised? It is a great shame if you do not realise that we, here on this island, are living under the orders of a state that keeps company with bloodthirsty murderers and dominates our own lives!

Besides, it something we have witnessed before. Didn’t they also release those who came to lynch and kill us? What do you think? That they released the attackers because we were not killed? You are wrong. It would not have made a difference even if we were killed. They would still release them. Just as they have now released those who killed the 45 people in Istanbul!

Everything we said couldn’t happen is happening. Here’s another piece of fresh news. Turkish drones have targeted and killed two Turkish journalists in Syria. They weren’t journalists belonging to the group of flatterers. They were of the kind Tayyip Erdogan doesn’t like at all. No one wants to know what’s happening in Syria. The pen of the flatterers is the only one he cares about. In the Turkish media, lies have become a god. They don’t worry about these newspapers and televisions. Mud is everywhere. The two journalists who were killed were working in the Kurdish areas in Syria. Tayyip Erdogan doesn’t love the Kurds. In his opinion, all Kurds should be killed. And he can’t wait to kill them. He will take revenge for Kobani! Remember, the Islamic State gangs had suffered a major defeat in Kobani, attacking the city with their heaviest weapons. Tayyip Erdogan pleaded every day for the Islamic State to take Kobani. The Kurdish fighters, including many women, became legends and made history with their heroism in Kobani. Tayyip Erdogan was very, very sad. He tried to take this pain out on Selahattin Demirtaş, who supported the Kobani fighters, and threw him in prison. Demirtaş is the most beautiful man in Turkey. He has been in prison for eight years. He did not kill anyone. But the Islamic State psychopaths who murdered 45 people were released from the Silivri prison!

When I read the news, I was not surprised at all. America has removed the leader of HTS Jolani from the list of terrorists! It cancelled the 10 million dollar bounty it had put on his head .It legalized the massacres. It legalized those who committed mass crimes. Do you understand? Leave the incoherent political speeches, raise your head and look at what is happening in the world. You cannot look at the whole world, look around you. Things are happening that we think are impossible. I wonder, do you not care at all? I am surprised that I can even write this article without swearing…
