DENIS PUSHILIN ON TURKISH AUTHORITIES’ DOUBLE STANDARDS (26 NOVEMBER 2015)

Statement of Denis Pushilin, the DPR plenipotentiary at negotiations in Minsk, about Turkish authorities’ double standards

The situation around the Syrian conflict, as well as the attitude of the Turkish government to ISIS terrorists, is increasingly reminiscent of the principles of the double standard policy.

Turkish diplomats repeatedly stated the importance of counter-terrorism and fight against the ISIS while simultaneously voicing disagreement with the actions of the Russian Federation in Syria. And the fact that a Turkish fighter jet shot down the Russian SU-24 which was taking part in anti-terrorist operations in Syria and didn’t present any threat to Turkey is a direct proof of it.

Such actions of the Turkish government can be regarded as unceremonious violation of all norms of the international law. We express absolute solidarity with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the majority of the Russian people and regard negatively Turkey’s policy of double standards in relation to terrorists and the situation in the Middle East.

No one knows better than citizens of the Donetsk People’s Republic what the policy of double standards means. When the US and Europe enthusiastically greet the “revolution of dignity” in Kiev, which, in its core, is a coup d’etat with the radical, pro-fascists elements coming to power, and, at the same time, condemn and criticise the actions of activists of Donbass defending their rights and freedoms. When European leaders hear, over moans and cries of dying people of the Donetsk People’s Republic, only Poroshenko’s promises on the peaceful settlement of the conflict. When we were condemned in absentia and called terrorists just because we had dared to resist the trampling of our rights.

The policy of double standards and flirting with real terrorists threaten Turkey and the entire Europe with disastrous and even tragic consequences.

We call on the international community to learn from history and today’s realities. You should not indulge the major geopolitical players to the detriment of your own people.
