The unforgettable "East Turkestan" moment during Hakan Fidan's visit to China

East Turkestan… It has been one of the most important centers of Turkish identity and culture for centuries. However, today, it has become a region associated with oppression, assimilation and human rights violations. The systematic policies of the Chinese government in the region have put the Uyghur Turks under great economic, cultural and social threat. So, what is really happening in East Turkestan? What are China's strategic goals in the region? In this video, we deeply examine the history, geopolitical importance and the problems it faces today.

East Turkestan is one of the richest regions in the world in terms of underground and aboveground resources. The region, which has large reserves of oil, natural gas, uranium and rare elements, is indispensable for the Chinese economy. At the same time, East Turkestan, one of the critical points on the Silk Road, is at the center of China's "Belt and Road" project. However, this strategic location and natural riches have brought oppression, not prosperity, to the people of the region. With surveillance systems, forced labor camps and population policies, assimilation policies on the Uyghurs are getting harsher every day.

Today, East Turkestan is not just a geographical region, but also the center of a global human rights crisis. While the international community's response to China's policies remains inadequate, the Uyghur Turks in the region continue to struggle to preserve their identity and culture. So how long will the world remain silent about this situation?
