If you are following what the U.S. Department of State spokeswomen said about Turkey and other countries, you will realize that there is something strange going on.Some people in Turkey attack police officers in Okmeydanı with Molotov cocktails and guns. The same second, someone in Washington asks the U.S. Department of State spokesperson Jen Psaki, "What does the U.S. think about what is happening in Okmeydanı in Turkey?"She categorizes the violence in Okmeydanı as a routine "protest" before saying, "We call on those participating in and responding to these protests to refrain from violence."If one needs to provide another example, let's say the Turkish government is trying to remove the "Parallel organization's" agents who infiltrated the police and the judiciary. The second this happens, someone in Washington rushes to the U.S. Department of State. This time they are faced with Psaki's deputy Marie Harf. They ask her, "What is the U.S. position concerning the firings and appointments in the police department and the judiciary?" Just like her boss, the deputy doesn't find it prudent to refer the question to the "gentleman in Pennsylvania," and instead says, "Concerning these firings and appointments, we are continuing to consult with all sides in Turkey." What if we did the same? Talking about problems faced by other countries including Turkey all the while living in Washington should be a nice job to have. By referring to the government, armed terrorists on the streets and parallel organization's members as "sides" before calling on them to act reasonably, they act as if they are equals. I wonder what would have happened if the Turkish Foreign Ministry had acted in the same manner?For example, al-Qaeda hit the Twin Towers in New York and Pentagon in Washington. In Ankara a Middle Eastern journalist asks our Foreign Ministry spokesperson, "What does Turkey think about al-Qaeda attacking the U.S.?" Imagine the spokesman answering the question with, "We call on all sides to act in a reasonably manner."We should still count our lucky stars. These spokeswomen, when confronted with what is happening in Turkey, don't start their answers with curses. They believe they are acting "impartially." As "impartial" as they were when a coup toppled the democratically elected government in Egypt.
