We must fight terrorism but we have to eradicate its root causes at the same time

Yusuf KANLI

We have a burning pain. We are losing our sons to terrorism every day and we want the state do something against terrorism in a manner that demonstrates the might of our state and the determination of our nation not to surrender to any threat. It hurts us to see our key ally the United States question our moves against terrorism in a blatantly hypocritical manner while it continues a global war against terrorism and receives our earnest contributions to its success. We are hurt as well to see that somehow the global war against terrorism is only confined to a perceived threat by the U.S. and when it comes to our own security, we receive nothing but advised restraint, dialogue and so on.
