There are two points I will focus on in this article: first, the nature of the earthquake and the impact of the Ataturk Dam in this context according to some experts, and second, the Kurdish question and the Turkish ethnic cleansing policy as relates to the earthquake

The genocide perpetrator Aziz Hamad Mawlud Shekhani, a Jash leader also known as Mullah Ozer who was commander of the 130th National Defense Regiment (NDR) of the Ba’ath regime, died in Holland on February 5, 2021 without facing justice.
