Touching the untouchable.

*A riot broke out in Urumqi July 5, resulting in more turmoil over the following days, leaving at least 184 dead and more than 1,600 injured, according to government figures. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has spoken out about the riots in Xinjiang. He condemns the violence and compared Chinas treatment of Uyghurs to genocide. "The martyrs of East Turkestan are our martyrs," Recep Tayyip Erdogan, then mayor of Istanbul, said in 1995 as he inaugurated a park named in honor of Isa Yusuf Alptekin, the Uyghur independence leader who had died in exile in Turkey. As Turkish Prime Pinister, Erdogan had long abandoned such sentiments, which were guaranteed to anger Beijing. However Erdogan has created a firestorm by comparing Chinas treatment of its Uyghur population Muslim Chinese of Turkic origin in the northwestern region of Xinjiang to "genocide". The Uyghurs of western China are an ethnic Turkic people who are by tradition Muslim, and who feel more kinship with the peoples of Central Asia than with the Han Chinese -- the communist state's dominant population. The Uyghurs are an ancient race who has made their mark on Eastern and Central Asian history. For more than a hundred years, in the eighth and ninth centuries, they ruled an empire that stretched from Manchuria to the Caspian Sea.

ニュースアニメ「トルコ:ウイグルのイスラム教徒支援で苦慮」
中国新疆(しんきょう)ウイグル自治区における暴動への対応で、トルコが苦慮している。ウイグル族はトルコ系で大多数がイスラム教徒。かつては全面支援していたが、今回は­国際的に台頭する中国との関係悪化を懸念して、出方を図りかねているからだ。トルコ国内では民族主義者らから「及び腰だ」との不満が噴出しており、政府は難しいかじ取りを­迫られている。
トルコ国内では、亡命ウイグル人の間にとどまっていた抗議行動が各地でトルコ人にも広がり、同日には首都アンカラなどで中国国旗を燃やす騒ぎも起きた。エルドアン・トルコ­首相は、こうした国内情勢に突き上げられ、「まるで大虐殺だ」と暴動事件に厳しい見方を示した。一方で、対中摩擦を懸念する外務省は声明を発表し、トルコと中国の両国関係­の重要性を強調。政府の見解は「両にらみ」を余儀なくされている。トルコ国内の亡命ウイグル人は約3万人。民族的なつながりを背景に、60年代から難民として受け入れてき­た。ウイグル人の在外活動はトルコから欧米に拡大したとされる。活動の中心組織「世界ウイグル会議」の本部はドイツにあるが、前身はトルコ国内で活動する「東トルキスタン­文化・連帯協会」。世界ウイグル会議には、トルコからの移住者が深く関与している。トルコは自国系民族の多い中央アジアでの影響力拡大を狙う一環で、旧ソ連崩壊後の90年­代はウイグル族の活動を強く支援したが、中国の大国化に伴い、政府の対応は慎重になってきている。これに対し、極右の野党・民族主義者行動党(MHP)などは「事態を静観­している場合ではない」と政府の対応を非難している。

  • fuck turkey

  • The reason why China would not want the Uygur's independence is because of a geo-political reason. Xinjiang was under control of China's last Imperial Dynasty, so the PRC would naturally want to control that region as well even if it's not right.

    中国はウイグルの独立を望んでいないという理由は、地政学的な理­由のためです。新疆は中国の最後の帝国王朝の支配下にあった、中­国は自然にそれが正しいものでない場合でも同様にその領域を制御­するというように。
