>he worst destruction, certainly, was inflicted between June and September of 2015 by the militants of the Islamic State, who first tortured and killed the eighty-one-year-old site director Khaled el-Assad before beheading him and hanging his body from a column. Then they set to work obliterating the ancient buildings amid accusations of paganism and idolatry.
Absolutely disgusting
- saiya-jin 10y agowell, these are the guys US is quietly supporting, by not doing enough to deal any real damage to them (just compare the force used to invade Iraq and effort to attack IS, it's a joke that is hard to ignore). In this conflict, Turkey and Saudis are the evil, both very good friends of US, doing whatever they feel is necessary in their puny little power games. Economy flows via Turkish border who doesn't do anything and supposedly profits handsomely from it (Erdogan's son to be more precise with oil, his daughter is building hospitals for IS fighters... just wow). Turkey for me became next evil power (nothing against most of their citizens, although their seemingly blind support for Erdogan's dictatorship is sad but another story). Wanted to go there to climb Mt Ararat, but hell will freeze sooner than me pouring a single euro into that dictatorship's economy. Idea of this country joining EU is beyond any joke. At least those are my information, I wish I would be wrong about those guys.
