Does Turkey Even Belong In NATO ???

A day after Turkey arrested two journalists for their report exposing Erdogan's weapons deliveries to "extremist groups" in Syria, confirming that no dissent to the president's foreign policy would be allowed, today a new riot has erupted in Istanbul following the dramatic murder in broad daylight of Tahir Elci, the president of the Turkish bar association in southeastern Diyarbakir province, who was shot dead by unidentified gunmen while giving a public speech.

The member countries of NATO allegedly adhere to the North Atlantic Treaty. Here is Article 1 of that treaty:

The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.

Turkey clearly is NOT settling international disputes in a peaceful manner or in a manner consistent with the UN Charter, which does not allow one nation to attack another in the manner Turkey has been attacking Syria, the Kurds, and the Russians.

For that matter, neither is the US, the UK, or France.

The member nations of NATO are no longer faithful to its charter. It has become an excuse for waging wars of aggression which are thinly disguised as "responsibility to protect" missions.

The organization should be dissolved, and the war criminals who have been committing crimes under its umbrella should be delivered to the ICC for prosecution.
