CAPRA FORDHAM UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW NOVEMBER 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Daniel J. Capra ---a man of great professional integrity--- for his continuous support in developing my research, his genuine efforts to generate a distinctive piece of work, and for his eye-opening suggestions. He invested his precious time to this work, valued and respected my opinions, and answered my questions even in his most limited time. I am very grateful for working with him, and could not have wished for more. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the other committee members ---Prof. Deborah W. Denno and Judge Ethan Greenberg--- for their valuable suggestions in my proposal defense that helped me shape the dissertation. I am grateful for their time and invaluable comments for this thesis. I would also like to thank Assistant Dean Toni M. Jaeger-Fine and Prof. Thomas H. Lee for creating necessary conditions for productive doctoral studies and their support for S.J.D. candidates. Thanks also to Prof. Ethan J. Leib for very helpful philosophical discussions in the first year of the S.J.D. program. I am thankful for the emotional support of S.J.D. fellows. Their presence gave me strength and made my studies more fruitful. We shared unforgettable memories and established the grounds for life-long friendships. I would like to specially thank Zahra Takhshid, Shany Winder, Nemika Jha, Flavio Jaime de Moraes Jardim (and his wife Carla Jardim), Christine Buamah, Kwaku Agyeman- Budu, Steffanie E. Keim, Yusra Alshanqityi, and Daniel Gomez Mazo. 2 I would like to thank Nesime Can for accompanying me in the doctoral journey in the U.S. I am grateful for her true friendship and genuine care for me. I also thank Michelle Bagheri for her whole-hearted friendship that brightens up my day. Special thanks to the Turkish Interior Ministry for allowing me to interview security officials. This research couldn’t have been made possible without the collaboration of Turkish police and gendarmerie. They spared the time for my questions in their overly tight schedule. Many thanks to each and every one of my interviewees. Besides security officials, I would like to thank participating prosecutors and judges. Last but not the least, I would like to thank my family: my mom for teaching me the importance of determination and ambition in success, my dad for guiding me through my legal career and doctoral studies, and my brother for being there anytime to back me. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

  • Extremism and Terrorism
    Turkey: Extremism and Terrorism On April 15, 2020, Turkey launched airstrikes in northern Iraq, seeking to target members of the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK), an internationally designated terrorist organization that has been in conflict with the Turkish government for decades. The military drone struck the Makhmour refugee camp—which the Turkish government claims as a hotbed of the PKK—killing two refugee women in the process. According to Iraq’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, the strikes were a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty. On April 13, Turkish security forces prevented Syrian “terrorists” from entering Mardin state, southeastern Turkey. According to intelligence gathered from Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT), the suspects allegedly sought to carry out a bombing in Turkey. The suspects manage to escape and leave behind explosives and detonators. In June 2020, Turkish troops moved deeper into Iraq in a new offensive against the PKK called Operation Claw-Tiger. After a Turkish drone killed two Iraqi border guards and their driver in August 2020, Turkey declared it would continue striking against the PKK in Iraq. (Sources: New York Times, Asharq Al-Awsat, Al Jazeera) On March 11, 2020, Turkish security forces launched the “Kapan-7 Garisa” counterterrorism operation in the country’s eastern Siirt province. The operation deployed almost 500 personnel to the region in order to undermine the threat of the PKK. Currently, the PKK has a relatively strong presence and a number of bases in Turkey’s eastern and southeastern provinces where the operation will largely be concentrated. (Source: Daily Sabah) On October 9, 2019, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an announced the start of Operation Peace Spring.

Combating terrorism is not only a matter for the state or government to address, but nongovernmental organizations must be contribute to the process of developing strategies and policies against terrorism.

Three newspapers were selected as samples of this study and news reports relating to terror and terrorism in these newspapers were analyzed according to Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis. As a result of the findings of this study, it is seen that media organs are not free from biases and ruling ideology and political view effects newspapers, magazines or televisions while presenting terror news. At the end of the study, some suggestions were developed especially for the stakeholders in the fight against terrorism. Keywords: Terror; Terrorism; Terror News; Critical Discourse Analysis; Media. Introduction Terrorism is an issue as old as human history and remains a current problem on a global scale. Until recently, terrorism was perceived as an issue related with security and state. However, it is seen today that it is a problem which can be solved by way of developing social policies, as well as through the participation of NGOs and the cooperation of the international community. The press approach and presentation of terror news in the media are very important.

  • Chapter 2 -- Strategic Assessment
    Chapter 2 STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT Introduction The annual Country Reports on Terrorism is designed to meet a Congressional requirement for a full and complete annual report on terrorism for countries and groups that meet the criteria of Title 22 of the United States Code, Section 2656(f). But at a time when our nation is engaged in a global war on terror, the Country Reports also serve a broader purpose -- to summarize key developments in the international campaign against terrorism. This chapter of the Country Reports provides such a summary, and complements the detailed observations contained in other parts of the document. General Trends in Terrorism This chapter focuses primarily on al-Qaida (AQ) and associated networks. This is appropriate, given that these networks represent the most prominent current terrorist threat to the United States and our international partners. However, some general trends -- beyond solely al-Qaida and its affiliates -- are relevant in considering the broader phenomenon of terrorism. These include: • Micro-actors. Increasingly, small autonomous cells and individuals drew on advanced technologies and the tools of globalization such as the Internet, satellite communications, and international commerce. When combined with the motivation to commit a terrorist act, these technologically empowered small groups represented “micro-actors” who were extremely difficult to detect or counter. • Sophistication. Many terrorists worldwide moved to improve their sophistication in exploiting the global interchange of information, finance, and ideas. They also improved their technological sophistication across many areas of operational planning, communications, targeting, and propaganda. • Overlap with transnational crime. In some cases, terrorists used the same networks used by transnational criminal groups, exploiting the overlap between these networks to improve mobility, build support for their terrorist agenda, and avoid detection.

    Wahlbekanntmachung Aufforderung zur Einreichung von Wahlvorschlägen für die Wahl der Landrätin/des Landrates, für die Wahlen der Mitglieder des Kreistages und für die Wahlen aus den Reservelisten am 13.09.2020 sowie einer ggf. erforderlichen Stichwahl am 27.09.2020 Gemäß §§ 24 und 75 b der Kommunalwahlordnung (KWahlO) vom 31. August 1993 (GV. NRW. S. 592, ber. S. 967), zuletzt geändert durch Verordnung vom 09. Oktober 2019 (GV. NRW. S. 602) - SGV. NRW. 1112 - fordere ich zur Einreichung von Wahlvorschlägen auf. Unter Berücksichtigung der Erlasse des Ministeriums für Arbeit, Gesundheit und Soziales vom 13.03.2020 zur Durchführung von Veranstaltungen und vom 15.03.2020 zur weiteren kontaktredu- zierenden Maßnahmen sowie vom 17.03.2020 zu weiteren kontaktreduzierenden Maßnahmen ab dem 18.03.2020 hält es der Minister des Innern des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen für dringend ge- boten, die Durchführung der Aufstellungsversammlungen bis zum Ende der Osterferien auszuset- zen. Da die Wahlvorschläge bis zum 16.07.2020 eingereicht werden könnten, bliebe für Aufstel- lungsversammlungen auch dann noch ausreichend Zeit, wenn auf eine Terminierung in den nächs- ten 4 Wochen bis zum 19.04.2020 verzichtet werde. Das Zeitfenster würde sich von jetzt 4 auf knapp 3 Monate verkürzen. Das Ministerium weist in seinem Erlass vom 19.03.2020 ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass die Durchführung von Versammlungen zur Aufstellung der Bewerber gesetzlich vorgeschrieben bleibe. Sofern sich die Corana-Krise bis zum 19.04.2020 nicht entspannen sollte, wird das Ministerum über weitere Maßnahmen informieren. Zur Einreichung von Wahlvorschlägen weise ich auf Folgendes hin: 1. Einreichungsfrist Die Wahlvorschläge sind spätestens bis zum 16.
