The Spin

The terrible terrorist attack on Wednesday looks to have been a well-planned assault on the headquarters of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), a strategic defense company that, among other things, makes unmanned aerial vehicles, which have proven effective in combating Kurdish insurgents in both Syria and Iraq. Turkey is at war and is more determined than ever to rid the country of terrorists while also protecting both Turkish and Kurdish civilians.

In response to the deadly attack on the aerospace industry facility in Ankara on Wednesday, Turkish warplanes targeted Kurdish civilian infrastructure in northern Iraq and northern Syria that causedcausing an unacceptable loss of life. Ankara asserts its "right to self-defense," yet it disproportionately punishes innocent civilians in neighboring countries with its military agressionaggression. Turkey's cycle of violence againtagainst the Kurdish people must come to an end.
