Don't label all Uighurs terrorists, Turkey tells China

ANKARA – Turkey’s foreign minister on Sunday said China should not label all Muslim ethnic Uighurs as terrorists, following talks with his Chinese counterpart in Germany.

U.N. experts believe China is holding a million Muslims in camps in the western Xinjiang region where most of the country’s ethnic Uighur, the largest Muslim minority, live.

The region has long suffered from violent unrest, which China claims is orchestrated by an organized “terrorist” movement seeking independence.

“Whether Turk, Uighur Turk, Han Chinese, Buddhist or Christian … it is not right to call all Uighur Turks terrorists just because one or two terrorists came from a certain ethnic group,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in Germany.

Cavusoglu held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday during the Munich Security Conference. The minister said he had brought up the Uighur issue with Wang.

“Uighur Turks are Chinese citizens so our wish is that Uighur Turks exercise all their rights as first class citizens. These are our expectations,” he said in televised comments.

The Turkish minister criticized skeptical statements from Beijing over links between Turks and Uighurs, insisting they had “ethnic, religious, cultural and historical ties.”

But Cavusoglu said Ankara did not want to use the issue as a “political tool” against Beijing like other countries, which he did not name.

The Turkish minister’s comments were cautious, especially compared with the foreign ministry spokesman’s remarks last February, which described China’s treatment of Uighurs as “a great embarrassment for humanity.”

Last year, Beijing invited Turkey to send a delegation to Xinjiang, a meeting that Cavusoglu said could take place depending on the program’s details.

“It is not possible to send a delegation only for official meetings,” Cavusoglu added.

The majority of mainly Muslim countries have opted to steer clear of public statements on the issue, for fear of angering China, which is an important trading partner.

Footballer Mesut Ozil, an Arsenal midfielder and former German international of Turkish origin, drew much fury from Beijing in December after he condemned China’s crackdown.

But the funny thing is when China said ALL Uighurs are terrorists? Even on CCTV China always says just a handful of terrorists are in Xinjiang, the vast majority of Uighur population are patriotic, law abiding Chinese citizens. What does Turkey mean by telling China this?

Turkey never has any logical statement to make and instead keeps making nonsensical statement to keep itself in fantasies

Erdogan regime and the CCP regime are both murderous thugs. Both regimes are run by narcissistic, egotistical, sociopathic killers.

Pakistan has betrayed Uighurs who are our Muslim neighbors. Then Pakistan expects Muslim countries to support Pakistan on Kashmir issue. China has built concentration camps for entire Uighur population and Pakistan keeps quiet. Then Pakistan keeps Pakistani student in Wuhan without any plans to rescue them. Pakistani people are really upset about these policies.

The truth is that peace-loving people in the U.S. would love China were it not for the plethora of racist, imperialist lies that have been programmed into the minds of Westerners. None of the Empire’s lies held up in my travels from Beijing to Xi'an, then to Dunhuang to Ürümqi—known as the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. I didn’t see concentration camps for Uyghurs in Xinjiang. In fact, it is difficult to walk more than a mile without running into a mosque. Every street sign in the city is translated in both Mandarin and Uyghur languages. Security is more plentiful in Ürümqi than in Beijing or Xi'an, and for good reason. Most Westerners are unaware that Xinjiang Province is the site of numerous terror attacks that have taken the lives of hundreds of people. As recently as 2014, the foreign-backed terrorist organization East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) committed several attacks in Urumqi, killing dozens and injuring hundreds more. It is important to note that the founder of the broader Uyghur independence movement, Anwar Yusef Turani , operates his “government in exile” in Washington D.C and that the World Uyghur Congress is funded heavily by the National Endowment for Democracy , a virtual branch of the CIA. There is thus nothing progressive about Uyghur independence and nothing about Ürümqi indicated otherwise.

China has most Muslim nation's support over Xinjiang issue, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Iran, Kazakhstan... Why do you say Pakistan betrayed Muslims?

Turkey taks billion of dollar loans from China to keep its economy afloat, but they still stab China in the back every now and then, they also betrayed US and Russia, they have big problem with EU and most Arab Muslim countries, few countries if not none will trust Turkey in the future.

Ok so China accepts not all of them are terrorists, but then why camps for a million people? I asked the same question to a Chinese colleague and he thought those are terrorists, how can there be a million or even 100 thousand terrorists? I understand Chinese predicament with western propaganda, but the camps are there for real. @beijingwalker @Beast
