Mercenaries have been on the agenda of recent years. So much so that they are established as a commercial company and take part in conflicts in every corner of the world, and they do this for a fee. The most frequently mentioned one is known as Wagner and is a war company controlled by Russia. In fact, there are organizations that work in the field on behalf of various states and fight. We call these terrorist organizations. The most famous of these is the YPG…
We can even say that this terrorist organization operates in the region like the ground power of the United States. It must be because of this, an article about the YPG and the USA was given in one of our newspapers under the heading "YPG of the USA".
Thus, the YPG was presented as a US-controlled terrorist organization. This army of mercenaries is created by pardoning the prisoners in prisons, which is presented as if a country creates a second army apart from the army, independent of the state, and is described as mercenaries because they are paid a certain wage. We can say that these soldiers are in a position like the employees of a commercial company.
The mercenaries called Wagner are in conflict in many known and unknown places in various corners of the world. The clearest example of this is Libya. It is known that they are located in Syria and Africa. Libya is divided in two.
Thousands of Libyans lost their lives in the clashes between these mercenaries and the Libyan army. Beyond that, if Libya is in two parts and in the middle of conflicts, this is also related to the mercenaries sent by Russia.
It seems that, in order not to appear as a state in a conflict, military units consisting of mercenaries seem to have begun to be driven into the field, as if they had nothing to do with them.
However, there were terrorist organizations in the past, and the colonialist countries were using terrorist organizations as ground power instead of putting their own soldiers on the ground, by supporting terrorist organizations such as training, arming and providing financial support to the state in question, rather than taking their place openly on the side of a state.
This situation has not changed today. As such, military units consisting of mercenaries prefer to work with terrorist organizations that do the work of mercenaries in some places, and especially in the activities of the USA in our region, which seem to have no connection with them.
As such, saying "If Russia has Wagner, the USA has YPG" becomes an expression of the truth.
Although working with terrorist organizations may not cause direct accusation of working countries, shouldn't a state's putting mercenaries on the market make them more responsible for working with terrorist organizations?
In this case, does it make the work done with mercenaries to organize the PKK and drag it into conflicts under different names in our region, make the work more legal?
Beyond that, is there any difference between an illegal army of mercenaries called Wagner and a terrorist organization?
Despite this, the fact that the US and its supporters, who have had no reaction to the actions of the mercenary unit in question, are working with terrorist organizations of countries that are content to follow the revolt of the mercenaries against their owners, does not show that they are all the same?
In this respect, if the international organizations that are claimed to have been established with the aim of ensuring peace and justice in the world, if no serious steps are taken against terrorist organizations and illegal organizations formed from mercenaries, it means that they have been handed over to the world terrorist organizations and mercenaries on purpose. Is it realistic to expect peace and harmony in such a world?
