Repression of Kurds in the 1990s – Noam Chomsky

It peaked in the early 1990s; one index is the flight of more than a million Kurds from the countryside to the unofficial Kurdish capital, Diyarbakir, from 1990 to 1994, as the Turkish army was devastating the countryside.“

"The recently ended twentieth century was characterized by a level of human rights violations unparalleled in all of human history. In his book Death by Government, Rudolph Rummel estimates some 170 million government-caused deaths in the twentieth century. The historical evidence appears to indicate that, rather than protecting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of their citizens, governments must be considered the greatest threat to human security."

That is why all known processes of extermination are preceded by a definition of the threatening group, and this definition is followed by an accelerating social, psychological, material, and legal declassification, which increasingly transforms the initially only claimed otherness of the excluded group into a reality shaped and felt by contemporaries.
