The Turkish government under the Erdogan regime is undertaking a brutal crackdown against the participants of a civic group, namely the Gulen movement, also known as the Hizmet (service) movement, with the deliberate intention of destroying this social group, in whole or in part. In this extensive research, Dr. Kenes argues that this crackdown is filled with violations that may be classified at the very least as crimes against humanity and could very well be the harbinger of what comes next in terms of a full-scale genocide to exterminate thousands of innocent people. Kenes exemplifies many of these crimes and scales them against the genocide criteria according to definitions and norms accepted by United Nations and field experts. Given that the international community has historically downplayed the early signs of genocidal acts and thus failed to prevent such crimes many times before, it is necessary to be on the alert before the Erdogan regime goes that far. A Genocide in the Making? is a unique volume that loudly cries out to the world this highly probable risk before it is too late.
Bulent Kenes, PhD, is an exiled Turkish journalist who has been the author of six books on Turkish politics, Iran, Islam. A veteran journalist for over 25 years, Kenes is the founding editor-in-chief of the prestigious Today's Zaman, an English daily published in Turkey until 2016 when it was shut down by the Erdogan regime. He is also among the founders of Stockholm Center for Freedom (SCF). He is now a member of a team establishing the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS) in Brussels.
