The dire situation of the Alevi people and other minorities in Turkiye and surrounding countries

Friday, 18 April 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques talks again with Suzan Saka from the Alevi Foundation of Australia about the dire situation of Alevi people in current Turkiye and surrounding countries. Suzan begins by giving some background about the Alevi culture, and the substantial presence of Alevi people in Australia. She then details the hardships and prosecutions they suffer in Syria, Iraq and their Anatolian homeland in Turkiye... It is a humanistic imperative to alert politicians and the international bodies about their plight and argue for intervention and support.

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
