TKG: Stop the genocide in Syria!

A genocide against Syrian Arab Alawites and Christians is taking place before the eyes of the world.
Vienna. The Turkish Cultural Community in Austria (TKG) warns of the increasing violence against minorities such as Arab Alawites and Christians in Syria.
This is despite euphemistic false reports, especially from England under the guise of the news HTS Coloni PR, which are all too often cited as credible sources in Austria and Germany.
TKG also has members among the Arab Alawites and Christians in Austria, and the information, pictures and videos have been pointing to an organized genocide for days and are not fake.
The UN and the EU must react as soon as possible. Before it is too late.
A human tragedy is unfolding that could drag the EU and Syria’s neighbors into a quagmire.
The following information, released to the media on 31 May 2027, is taken from a US government publication on the Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Change in terrorist designation of Al-Nusra Front, codenamed HTS – Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
The US State Department has changed the designation of Al-Nusra Front – an al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria – by adding Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other code names.
These aliases were added to the Al-Nusra Front’s designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order 13224.
In January 2017, Al-Nusra Front established HTS to strengthen its position in the Syrian insurgency and to further its own goals as an al-Qaeda affiliate. Since January 2017, the group has pursued these objectives through HTS.
Ambassador Nathan A. Sales, the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, said: ‘Today’s designation shows that the United States will not be fooled by this al-Qaida affiliate’s attempt to rebrand itself. Whatever name the Nusra Front chooses, we will continue to deny it the resources it needs to pursue its violent cause.’
Today’s actions inform the American public and the international community that HTS is a front for al-Nusra Front. Terrorist designation exposes and isolates organizations and individuals by denying them access to the US financial system. In addition, the designation may facilitate prosecution by the U.S. and other governments. (Source: Changes to the terrorist designation of al-Nusrah Front MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE PRESS 31 MAY 2018)
TKG questions
TKG asks about the US State Department’s information of 31 May 2018. What has changed and has the US suspended the bounty on HTS leaders who are actually Al Nusra?
Can HTS, with this CV and its history with many terrorist organizations in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and the EU, which was carried out with like-minded people, also bring Islam, peace, democracy and a multi-denominational democratic constitution to Syria, the cradle of Christianity?
Can a democratic state be built with HTS?
Unfortunately, what we see in Syria is a lot of window dressing, lies and a lot of genocide.
Please help to stop the genocide in Syria and do not finance this system in Syria (especially not the EU) with beautiful PR reports that do not correspond to the truth.
