Stand Up Against Michael Rubin’s Anti-Turkish, Racist, and Dangerous Agenda

Stand Up Against Michael Rubin’s Anti-Turkish, Racist, and Dangerous Agenda

Dear TCE Community,

We must come together to challenge a dangerous escalation of anti-Turkish and anti-Azerbaijani rhetoric pushed by Michael Rubin, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). This man’s inflammatory and reckless words are fueling hostility against Türkiye and its regional allies, spreading division, and promoting outright violence.

Here are three outrageous articles Rubin has written:

  1. "The United States Needs to Prepare to Kill Turks in Syria"
    Read Here
    Rubin openly calls for the United States to prepare for violence against Turkish people, an appalling and racist provocation.
  2. "Should Israel Attack Turkey's Nuclear Plant?"
    Read Here
    He promotes destruction of Türkiye’s civilian infrastructure, a clear attack on the sovereignty of a NATO ally.
  3. "Could Aliyev Collapse Like Assad?"
    Read Here
    He suggests destabilizing Azerbaijan, spreading fear and division among Turkic nations.

Rubin’s writings reflect a deeply Anti-Turkish, and racist agenda, attempting to isolate Türkiye and Azerbaijan while advancing hostility and chaos in the region. This man uses his position at AEI—an influential think tank to push dangerous narratives that aim to harm our nations.

Template Letter to Michael Rubin

Subject: Condemnation of Your Racist, and Anti-Turkish Rhetoric

Dear Mr. Rubin,

I write to express my outrage and utter condemnation of your recent appalling articles published on the AEI platform:


  • "The United States Needs to Prepare to Kill Turks in Syria"
  • "Should Israel Attack Turkey's Nuclear Plant?"
  • "Could Aliyev Collapse Like Assad?"

These articles are not only inflammatory but also reckless, racist, and utterly hostile. Your call for the United States to prepare to kill Turkish people reflects an unacceptable level of hate and bigotry for someone who claims to be a scholar. Advocating for Israel to attack Türkiye’s nuclear plant—a civilian infrastructure—crosses every boundary of ethical journalism and moral decency.


It is evident that you are using your platform to push a Racist agenda at the expense of Türkiye and its allies, undermining the sovereignty of nations while sowing instability in the region. Your writings insult the dignity of the Turkish and Azerbaijani peoples and promote violent rhetoric that endangers peace.


Türkiye is not only a sovereign nation but also a vital NATO ally that has stood on the front lines of regional security and stability. Your dangerous suggestions, particularly regarding violence and infrastructure attacks, show blatant disregard for international law, diplomacy, and the principles of peaceful coexistence.


Your racist tone and divisive agenda have no place in the modern world. I, along with members of the Turkish and Azerbaijani communities, call on you to publicly retract these shameful articles and issue an apology to the millions of people you have offended. Responsible scholarship is about fostering understanding, not fueling conflict.


Rest assured, we will continue to hold you accountable for your reckless words. The days of unchecked anti-Turkish and anti-Azerbaijani rhetoric are over. We are watching, and we will not remain silent.


Sincerely,
Your Full Name
City/Country
