Turkish war crimes
Since the establishment of Republic of Turkey, Turkey commited war crimes like in the Syrian Civil War, Turkish invasion of Cyprus and so on.

Even before its establishment, Three Pashas commited genocides in World War One against Armenian, Greek and Assyrian victims. Massacres also continued during the Turkish War of Independence by both sides.[1] Turkey still continues to deny the genocides. After 1923, war crimes also occured during the Syrian Civil War and Second Libyan Civil War.
