They're using Geneva Conventions to demand action against Turkey ethnically cleansing 200,000 Greeks. Of course, that's what forced transfer really means, not Turkish settlers voluntarily choosing to move to Cyprus.
Kontorovich's research is a game-changer.
How does one argue for Israeli settlements being illegal according to Geneva when no other situation worldwide is ever deemed illegal by the same standards?
