Turkish Embassy Staff in Kyiv Attacked Activists
In Kyiv today, Turkish embassy staff in Kyiv attacked activists protesting the Turkish war on Rojava — a self-governing Kurdish enclave in Northern Syria. This is according to information given to Nihilist by protest participant Nataliya Lunio.
Activists were waving posters calling for an end to Turkish aggression before they were attacked by people in business attire from the Turkish Embassy. The Turkish staff quickly asked a Ukrainian National Guard lieutenant, Ishchuk, to seize the protester’s signs and posters. He didn’t manage to do so, and in response the Turkish embassy staff themselves seized the signs — they tore the signs out of the activists hands, and used physical force against the protesters.
«One of the men, most likely embassy staff, punched the protesters and landed a hit on one man and woman. It seems like he was angry about the fact that the activists had covered their faces and were waving a sign with the slogan “Fuck Erdogan.” One of the embassy men attacked us with a parking column, but we manage to fight him off,» said Lunio.
At the same of the fight, Ukrainian National Guardsmen stood off to the side and allowed the attacked to safely return to embassy territory. One of the protesters suffered injuries to their face, and was taken away by ambulance.
Earlier in Odessa, a similar situation played out with Ukrainian law enforcement, who detained activists protesting near the Turkish consulate. The young protesters were threatened with SBU involvement, and one of their telephones was seized and text messaging exposed.
What’s going on? Is the Ukrainian government is ignoring Turkish violations of Ukrainian rights, the same way it ignored the appearance of Russian soldiers in Crimea and Donbas in 2014?
If Ukraine’s own diplomatic corps is unsuited to confronting Turkish aggression against the Kurdish people, who are fighting for independence against radical Islamists and dictators, that doesn’t mean that it has to be silent in the face of Turkish attacks on Ukrainian citizens.

SUMMARY
=======
Kiev ( KEE-ef, -ev) or Kyiv (Ukrainian: Київ, translit. Kyiv [ˈkɪjiu̯] (listen); Russian: Киев, translit. Kiyev [ˈkʲi(j)ɪf]) is the capital and most populous city of Ukraine, located in the north-central part of the country on the Dnieper. The population in July 2015 was 2,887,974 (though higher estimated numbers have been cited in the press), making Kiev the 7th most populous city in Europe.Kiev is an important industrial, scientific, educational and cultural center of Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions, and world-famous historical landmarks. The city has an extensive infrastructure and highly developed system of public transport, including the Kiev Metro.
The city's name is said to derive from the name of Kyi, one of its four legendary founders (see Name, below). During its history, Kiev, one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of great prominence and relative obscurity. The city probably existed as a commercial centre as early as the 5th century. A Slavic settlement on the great trade route between Scandinavia and Constantinople, Kiev was a tributary of the Khazars, until its capture by the Varangians (Vikings) in the mid-9th century. Under Varangian rule, the city became a capital of the Kievan Rus', the first East Slavic state. Completely destroyed during the Mongol invasions in 1240, the city lost most of its influence for the centuries to come. It was a provincial capital of marginal importance in the outskirts of the territories controlled by its powerful neighbours; first by Lithuania, followed by Poland and ultimately Russia.The city prospered again during the Russian Empire's Industrial Revolution in the late 19th century. In 1917, after the Ukrainian National Republic declared independence from the Russian Empire, Kiev became its capital. From 1921 onwards Kiev was a city of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which was proclaimed by the Red Army, and, from 1934, Kiev was its capital. During World War II, the city again suffered significant damage, but quickly recovered in the post-war years, remaining the third largest city of the Soviet Union.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence in 1991, Kiev remained the capital of Ukraine and experienced a steady migration influx of ethnic Ukrainians from other regions of the country. During the country's transformation to a market economy and electoral democracy, Kiev has continued to be Ukraine's largest and richest city. Kiev's armament-depen ...

But new sectors of the economy such as services and finance facilitated Kiev's growth in salaries and investment, as well as providing continuous funding for the development of housing and urban infrastructure. Kiev emerged as the most pro-Western region of Ukraine where parties advocating tighter integration with the European Union dominate during elections.
