Letter to the Editor: EU and US as guilty of fomenting war as Turks

President Michael D Higgins was right when he criticised the Turkish military intervention in Syria: “I am appalled by any possibility of coercion or forced returns of refugees and underline, in the strongest terms, that any attempt at demographic change is not acceptable.”

Civilians have been killed and there are reports of Kurdish prisoners being executed. This military action by Turkey is in breach of the UN Charter, but Turkey is not alone in disregarding international laws.
