TENKIL
TENKIL ist der Name des Verbrechens gegen die Menschlichkeit, welches in der Türkei unter dem Erdogan-Regime geschieht.
Feinde oder für schädlich befundene Personen vollkommen eliminieren; ihnen eine Strafe geben, die für alle eine Lehre sein wird; diese Menschen in die Verbannung schicken- dies ist Bedeutung des Begriffes ,,TENKIL“. Der Begriff kommt aus dem Türkischen und hat seine Wurzeln im Arabischen. Es ist die Umschreibung eines Verbrechens gegen die Menschlichkeit, die gruppenbezogen ist: Der damalige Premierminister, jetziger Präsident der Türkischen Republik Erdogan, dessen Verwicklung in eine Korruptionsaffäre im Dezember 2013 ans Licht kam, startete eine außerordentliche Hetzjagd gegen alle SympathisantInnen der von Gülen-inspirierten Hizmet-Bewegung.
Die klare Haltung der Bewegung für den Rechtsstaat hat dazu geführt, dass sie die Hauptzielgruppe der Willkürjustiz und des staatlichen Terrors des Erdogan-Regimes geworden sind. Aber nicht nur Menschen mit einem Bezug zur Hizmet-Bewegung, sondern alle Menschen, die es wagen, diese grausame Verfolgung infrage zu stellen, sind von dem TENKIL betroffen.

“ Hizmet Movement and Banishment „
The ruling administration of the period held the Hizmet movement sympathizers responsible for the immense and legal corruption operations carried out by both the judiciary and the police department between 17-25 December 2013. Corruption and bribery operations based on many concrete evidences were described as a ‘judicial coup’ against the government.
Instead of resigning as a requirement of honest and responsible politics and waiting for the verdict of the judicial process, the State and all its Political Institutions started the “GENOCIDE=TENKİL” activity to destroy the Hizmet Movement institutions and its sympathizers.

Organization Stage
Genocide is always organized. Special army units or militias are often trained and armed… For Turkey, a gang within the government uses the procedure of systematic abduction and torture.
Polarization Stage
Continuous propaganda is carried out to polarize the public. The nation gets divided into groups through expressions such as Alevi, Sunni, Kurdish, Armenian, Gezi supporter, Traitor, Gulenist, etc. The expressions used by the ruling government for years completely polarized the people of the nation.
Preparation Stage
Victims are identified and separated because of their ethnic or religious identity. For this stage, with the support of the Turkish intelligence (MIT), information and blacklists about ByLock downloaders, union members, newspaper and magazine subscribers, Bank Asya depositors, and private school admissions were prepared.
Extermination Stage
The killers see this as an ‘extermination’ because they do not believe their victims to be fully human. This phase started individually. Torture was brought back to life. Thousands of people faced torture while in custody or prison.
Denial Stage
The government’s illegal orders dismissed more than 150 thousand people from their jobs. Nearly 170 thousand people were detained and 90 thousand people were imprisoned. Around 200 media outlets were shut down, and more than 300 journalists and media workers were imprisoned.
