 Tre sviluppi nell'arco di tre giorni hanno incendiato il Medio Oriente. L'elemento tragico è l'omicidio a sangue freddo, il 14 maggio, durante la legittima "Marcia del Ritorno", di almeno 61 palestinesi, tra cui cinque bambini, da parte dell'esercito israeliano al confine tra Israele e Gaza, che ha anche provocato migliaia di feriti.

Three developments in the space of three days have set the Middle East on fire. The tragic element is the cold-blooded murder, on 14 May, during the totally legitimate “March of Return”, of at least 61 Palestinians, among them five children, by the Israeli army at the border of Israel and Gaza, which has also left thousands wounded. But that is only an extension of the shameless policy of warmonge... |
 So finally Nikol Pashinian, leader of the mass uprising in Armenia, has attained his dream of becoming the prime minister of the Caucasian republic. On 8 May, in an election in which he was the sole candidate, the Armenian parliament elected him prime minister with 59 votes to 42. This result is, on its own, a tribute to the power of the people: it confirms the fall (perhaps temporary) of Serzh Sa... |
 The missile attacks to Syria on the dawn of April 14th by the imperialist countries led by the United States, is an act of barbarism. Missiles were fired to Damascus, Homs, Hama, Daraa and Al-Suwayda because this assault suits with the interests of American, British and French imperialists and was also requested by the Zionist Israel. |
 Once again imperialism is employing the pretext of the allegation of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army in Douma near Damascus in order to change the balance of forces on the ground in the Syrian war. Military action has already been started by Zionist Israel, either on its own initiative or as a result of a previous agreement with the United States administration. |

The Turkish government of Erdoğan and the AKP has declared war on the Syrian Kurdish canton of Afrin and caused havoc in Northern Cyprus by meddling with press freedom. These unacceptable interventions in two different countries are really continuations of the despotic and arbitrary practices of this government domestically, creating an increasingly repressive regime within Turkey itself. |
