*** Turkish government guilty of institutional racism and discrimination *** Orhan Kemal Cengiz is a Turkish human rights lawyer and journalist of professionalism and unusual integrity. He reports in the attached article that the Turkish state, since its founding, has formally if subtly discriminated against non-Muslims, especially Greeks, Armenians and Jews.Thus it kept these people at a distance from the military, police and justice systems, and also targeted them for occasional vicious persecution. It is a sign of the times that voices like that of Cengiz are raised inside Turkey, clearly dissenting from the dominant neo-Ottoman reality imposed by the likes of Erdogan and Davutoglu. al-monitor/pulse/originals/2013/08/turkish-ancestry-codes.html
