I don't expect success -- the ECHR will surely rule your way, but just as surely Erdogan's regime will ignore it. Nonetheless, that will be an important step toward disengaging from Turkey and its government, and toward permitting the victims - Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, and others - a chance to fight back on fair terms.

Your comment seems to go against WP:NOTBATTLEFIELD. Please explain. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:18, 23 June 2019 (UTC)- I was not speaking about Wikipedia. The more Turkey distances itself from Europe and NATO by ignoring human rights standards, the less outside financial and military support their government will have, no?

- I'm not sure about your geopolitical assertions. If your point was that having Turkey ignore ECHR's ruling in favor of Wikipedia would ultimately put pressure on Ankara, I missed it. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:07, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
