June 10 — Once again a social explosion is rocking a large country in the so-called Middle East.

It is disrupting the Pentagon’s covert war against Syria, in which Turkey is a forward base for NATO. It jeopardizes ExxonMobil’s plans to build an oil pipeline from Iraqi Kurdistan to the Mediterranean through Turkey and Turkish-Israeli plans to jointly exploit natural gas off the coast of occupied Palestine.
