        These are child... it is ridiculous to promote child soldiers.. shame on you @WSJ The US-backed YPG has long been known to use children as soldiers and its strategy is still the samepic.twitter.com/sC8vLRJLKI

        The US-backed YPG continues to exploit children by recruiting them to fight in Syria’s Afrin.

        Erdogan publicly displayed a crying 6 year old girl with a flag in her pocket saying she is ready to be martyred... while the poor girl was crying.. though sad, but she had gone willingly to oppose ISIS... why would Erdogan recruit 6 year old crying baby?https://usat.ly/2oBmRnM

        @Morksuggan Turkey has been far worse than Iran for a very long time but the world had turned a blind eye on it. Turkish state had made it a law that speaking Kurdish or naming ur son a Kurdish name was worse crime than armed robbery, that has never been the case in Iran or ISIS

        These parents are the most disgusting human beings on this planet. Indoctrinating their children from birth to force them into the ranks of a terror group at age 12! Then claim "we couldn't stop her from joining". She was 12!

        Sure buddy, politician using a child during a political rally is the same as indoctrinating a child from birth and then forcing her to join an armed terror group at age 12. The girl with Erdogan won't join the army till she's at least 18 and decides to join.

        You mean the 6 year old that will likely never touch a weapon or see combat? The 6 year old that went to school the next day and is with her loving family now? Yes, totally compares to being forced to join a terror cult at age 12, carrying corpses, guns, ammo on the frontline

        I think, to be crying, while someone is saying you will be martyred and covered with the flag that you are 6 is clearly forced. While a teenager at 12 rebelling against her family and saying I will leave, is not "forced" but rebellious.. both are sad.. one by force, one by choice

        Man it's pathetic how you try to justify child soldiers your beloved terror cult uses. What Erdogan did was dumb, but at most you could blame him of using nationalist sentiment. She was 12! Her parents indoctrinated her with PKK ideology and obv forced her to join at age 12

        Then again I don’t know what’s that PhD for. In the 80’s many were awarded PhD in Turkey for writing a thesis that Kurds didn’t exist... proving a negative... that was not true to start with lol
