Ballistic missile systems, artillery rockets, unmanned aerial vehicles, patrol and landing
craft, armored combat vehicles, mine-resistant vehicles, anti-aircraft guns ... ---- Did
you ever have seen close to a gunboats or laser-guided bomb system? What about the
thousands of kilometers per second projectile weapons or projectiles that can be fired
away with the ability to change the direction of the air toward the target? ---- Erdogan's
opening of "get better all of humanity" in the words of the IDEF 2015 exhibition to open,
if necessary International Defence Industry Fair International Defense Industry Fair so I
will mention now. Some of them I wrote above nice military vehicles / promotion of weapons
is done, the beginning of May, the exhibition held at the TÜYAP Fair Center.
Since 1993, he held in Turkey IDEF, "one of the world's four largest defense exhibition"
as it is known. For this reason, manufacturers of weapons companies and governments, to
get more human life "defense" meeting point for those technologies developed under the
name of death. This year, the fair's three days, from 53 different countries, "defense",
known in the industry 781 companies exhibited their products; As receiver, chief of staff
from dozens of defense ministers, commanders of the army and navy, numerous sales or
orders signed during the exhibition. This fair is such a technology of death brought to
public markets, all of humanity, rather than no, actually it will bring an inevitable
reality of death and carnage.
Since the first modern army began to create the 19th century, this type of trade is
expected to exhibit the latest war technology and buyer name highlighted "defense" is
contrary to the "fair attack." Indeed, this year held in promotion of trade, new
generation anti-tank missile systems developed by ASELSAN, target of kilometers away to
identify and massacring the target with energy sent again ASELSAN banners of "national
laser gun," Attack helicopters that the Turkish Armed Forces inventory, at the
manufacturer's company director definition of the "We are a full attack tool" like
products, to be very offensive in nature carrying the purpose defense confirms this
determination.
Held in London and which is the largest defense industry fair world, International Defense
and Security Equipment Exhibition 'in the product was introduced a few years ago, the
defense called important in terms of showing the true face of the fair. Because the United
Nations five years ago to prepare the conventions that prohibit "cluster bombs", yet it is
also participating in this exhibition of UN member states it has been introduced in the
opening stand. In particular heavily used cluster munitions in the Palestinian
territories, to stay longer in the area and was known as the massacre of children
scattered as density, like mines. It certainly was not the only offensive tool marble mine
introduced at the fair. And brochures distributed at the fair introduced the torture
instruments, the press had brought much noise. Weapons manufacturer company with producing
state of war policy that brings together the managers of the trade "that they were unaware
of the situation," saying said the investigation would be launched.
Defense exhibition held in many different places around the world Turkey leg of the IDEF,
as long as participation is open to many weapons producing companies were hosted; It
provided the backdrop to numerous military agreements. In 2014, with the worldwide total
of 5 trillion to the upcoming military spending gradually artmaktayk, the IDEF also been
nice to increase the total of these expenditures "advanced defense technologies"
introduced by and border became a center spread to the other.
Anti-war, anti-militarist actions for the world's four held a fair gerçekleştirmekteyk the
next defense; Opponents of a war against the massacre in Istanbul, held at the TÜYAP
exhibition action they want to perform. However, arms dealers and governments, so they
were afraid of the stone to be placed on the road; Fair held in Istanbul against acts of
anti-war and want to conscientious of the exit road, the police massacre of state machines
in promoting trade, custody vehicles, it was interrupted by Toma. The reason they want to
prevent action "safety may be at risk " is the.
The slaughter of millions of human lives; people who usurped the living areas; government
and weapons manufacturers. The evacuation of villages and the forced migration of
countless people "of the risk of safety" due to the ... IDEF fairs and done with so
desired, something that not only ensure the materialization; but also it provides the
ground in the legitimization. Lurking behind the defense "attack" interests and deal with
countless massacres, perhaps it is the first step.
Militarism to more powerful weapons, more powerful weapon producing companies also need to
militarism. If the only way to get rid of these relationships form architect of this cycle
and massacres it is to fight against the state arms manufacturer producing companies and
war policy. Unmanned aerial targets for the vehicle automatically select the shooting
artificial intelligence system, the second can be fired thousands of rounds of kilometers
away weapons and develop projectiles that can change the direction toward the airborne
target, normalleştirilirk that the new massacre of plans massacre fair; anti-war and
anti-militarists, all against them will continue to fight no matter what.
