New York, Steve Tataii, (eKurd.net), -- FIRAT’s
report published in HULIQ.COM, and later REUTERS on
October 12, 2007 state:
“Kurdish rebels fighting for an independent homeland
in south-eastern Turkey said they were moving back
into Turkey from the mountains of northern Iraq and
would target politicians and police.”
It continued:
"The guerrillas are positioning themselves against
the attacks of the Turkish state," it said. "We will
carry out more attacks against the police.”
Under Pressure, and threats from Turkish Military
Regime; it also stated: "AKP [AK Party] and CHP
[opposition party] organizations in the region are
among our targets." |

US Congress, House foreign relations committee
finally made a long overdue Decision by passing the
Armenian Genocide Resolution, which I consider a
useful step in the right direction to recognize the
ongoing atrocities committed by the Terrorist state
of Turkey, which dares to label the only North
Kurdistan Defense Force, namely PKK, a terrorist
organization, and cause a domino effect in that name
calling by US, and some other allies.
Rep Pelosi deserves a lot of credit for a steadfast
stance to also pass the Resolution on the floor of
the House, now that it has received 27-21 votes in
the Committee. This was a turning point in history
of Genocides by any Tyrant Regime in denial.
It also has begun to expose the many corrupt
politicians, who have been receiving bribes from
Turkish Regime for their votes since the artificial
creation of “Turkey” by Britain-France colonial
powers by 1923.
These politicians have been distorting the truth
about Kurdish, and Armenian Genocides under the
infamous Kemal Ataturk, who ordered to commit these
Genocides from 1915-1923, which have left more than
a million Kurds, and two million Armenians killed,
using modern weapons supplied by the said colonial
powers, who even assisted to speed up the killings
of Kurds in North Kurdistan, South Kurdistan, East
Kurdistan, and West Kurdistan led by many distinct
Kurdish Leaders, and Kings such as Shekh Seid Piran,
Seyid Riza, Shekh Mahmood, and dozens of others.
In fact Churchill of England was the first to use
Chemical Weapons against Kurds, when his military
could not defeat the Peshmarga Forces of Shekh
Mahmood in fair fights as I wrote in my recent books
with citations of those Tyrannical attacks (type
“Steve Tataii” in the search box of amazon.com).
Turkey, as Rep Pelosi pointed out is no longer
considered a vital ally, because the Cold War came
to an end in 1989.
In Fact, NATO can easily operate without Turkey “aka
Sick Man of Europe”, and should escort the Turkish
NATO soldiers to the exit door.
If NATO needs more troops, which has enough as is;
some Kurdish Peshmarga Regiments, once Kurdistan,
our closest ally, is invited to join Forces, and
replace Turkey in NATO; would happily contribute if
NATO needed more troops. I think Turkey has done
enough damage to Democracy, and it must quit NATO.
If anyone else with the right mind was in Turkey’s
top leadership, which no one knows who that would
be, that person would quit, and stop pressing for
more free stuff.
We in the United States should pass another much
more critical Resolution to Disarm Turkish Military,
Led by an old Kemalist General, and his cronies all
with hidden agendas to damage Kurdistan’s peace,
stability, and long overdue Self-Rule. They have
become great Liability not only for Kurds, but for
the International peace, and Security in a very
serious way.
They have just used chemical weapons against Kurdish
fighters, killing 11 last month, yesterday shot in
the back a Kurd forced to serve in their army,
threatened to arrest a Kurdish singer two month ago,
banning his travel rights, denied visiting rights to
check on the poor health of Kurdish Leader, Abdullah
‘Ochalan, forged a document between Iraq’s interior
Minister, and Turkish regime to permit trespass of
soldiers crossing Kurdish border, and the list goes
on.
This is why; that Baghdad or South Arabs must never
be permitted to act as Diplomats for Kurds, because
Kurds have their own Diplomats, the most qualified,
and dedicated President & Prime Minister,
Parliament, Ministers, and its own Kurdish national
Military Forces in a peaceful Kurdish nation state,
which has blinded our old enemies’ eyes, because our
enemies must now treat us with respect, and follow
correct Diplomatic routes to talk with us.
Mr. Erdogan, and Turkish Regime should have kept
their promises last year to meet with Kurdish
Leaders over the issue of Kurdistan Workers party
freedom fighters while they had the chance, not
after series of insults to our sovereignty, while
they have continued shelling the North Kurdish
Villages, and attempting to slow down our Kirkuk’s
Referendum under article 140.
The Referendum shall be completed before 2008.
Our kind, and honorable S. Kurdistan President
Massoud Barzani or honorable Prime Minister
Nechirvan Barzani, another kind, and generous
Kurdish leader or their deputies may still meet with
Turkish Top leader in Kurdistan for talks to avoid
further tensions, and I hope if that happens; Turkey
will remove its 2000 Soldiers unit from inside our
Kurdish State’s border, and show some respect. I
recommend the Turkish leader, who intends to meet,
leave his arrogance, and bully attitude behind back
in Ankara if this meeting should ever take place in
these tensed times.
After all, it is said; that when you know you’ll
lose the contract, which may cost you everything,
you ought to quit while you’re ahead quietly or risk
everything you got, and even pay back most of what
you took “Royally” since 1923, and so far with no
questions asked.
It appears; that Turkey’s secret backers have
convinced it to act as tough as it can, and remain
trigger happy, shelling South Kurdistan, and
threaten to cross into her territory with a one year
passport possibly issued by Turkish Parliament at an
attempt to create a shooting Gallery out of North,
and South Kurdistan, as well as their own Turkish
cities, hoping most Kurds will remain idle! They
know it is the contrary.
Mister Buyukanit, who dares to insult our President
Bush, when yesterday he said: “Bush has shot his own
foot” (referring to the recent Armenian Resolution,
and protecting the Kurds). This is more than just
biting the hand that has fed you. It is too much
freebies for too long, and catching the disease of
“Rabies”.
He also simply forgets; that Kurds now have more
allies, and supporters that his bully state with
donated supply of heavy war machines since the Cold
war, and before that from 1915 onward; stealing
large amount of Kurdish oil Revenues for over 84
years will find out that things have changed.
This incursion threatening thing is one tactic
Turkey is using to divert world’s attention from its
Robbery, Murder, and long time free foreign aid
money, and heavy duty modern weapons from the United
States, who no longer needs Turkey, but feels shy of
saying: “Thanks, but we have paid you Royally since
1923, the world war ended in 1989, so please go
away, because we don’t need you anymore other than
avoiding to trigger chains of foolish wars by
abusing Kurdish, Armenian, and American sentiments”.
Just like someone wrote last week: “Turkey will not
have a picnic”, and I add; that I also feel sorry
for Turkish citizens, who will end up suffering just
the same or even more if wars begin. Turkish
military lower ranked Officers should remove this
reckless “Second Government” Buyukanit has been
leading, and free Ankara from his unauthorized
self-declared authority, which will leave them with
shame, and sorrow.
In my opinion, given what we know from the latest
developments; in fact if Turkey keeps its present
nuisance 2000 soldiers inside of Kurdistan
presumably keeping tracks of PKK fighters, and keeps
shelling across into peaceful villages; Turkey will
pay for every single shelling onto the sacred
Kurdish homeland, which is perhaps killing,
wounding, and terrorizing peaceful Kurdish citizens,
scarring farm lands, killing live stocks, and more.
Turkey will pay for all the mentioned above for as
long as it has gone on dearly, and its blood thirsty
military, paramilitary, or petty political thugs
will be brought to justice much faster than they
have hoped for roaming around freely.
Not only that, but Turkish Parliament, even after
Kurds participated in their 2007 elections, has
failed to grant the most basic Democratic Rights to
30,000,000 Kurds there to teach their Students in
Kurdish Language at the elementary level known as
“Zigmaky” in Kurdish. This Rotten old chauvinist
Turkish Terrorist tactics will never change unless
Turkish occupation of North Kurdistan comes to an
end.
Turkish Regime feels too comfortable with getting
away from these serious crimes against humanity.
They have been committing these Cultural Genocides
against Kurds since 1923, during a period, when tens
of thousands of Kurdish villages have been bombed,
and destroyed, using our own Western Foreign Aids,
when we knew they were going on, but did nothing to
stop nor prevent it. Nearly one million Kurdish
inhabitants in those villages have been killed.
Genocide means the killing of an entire community,
and every one of those villages were communities by
themselves. This means Turkey has committed tens of
thousands of Genocides against Kurds, which are yet
to be recognized by US Congress, since we have been
involved in the region at least from President
Woodrow Wilson’s time, and must see to it; that the
4 Kurdish nations are secured, and their Local
Governments well established with adequate national
defense supplies to withstand the attacks by well
armed senseless thugs such as their North Kurdistan
Usurper “Turkey”.
Turkey must come to grips with Reality, and stay out
of South Kurdistan (North of Iraq), having said the
least. If the Incursions continue; we must then
immediately disarm Turkey, and Liberate North
Kurdistan, senselessly under Turkish Occupation
since 1923. We must not submit to Turkish
Terroristic threats, intimidations, nor tolerate any
possible “Turkish” Parliament’s decision to
continue to insult Kurdish territorial integrity,
which no nation does to another without causing
wars.
If we are forced to move our equipments from
Insirlic; we should use one of Kurdistan’s
designated airports, and ask our nearby allies in
Greece, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and West
Kurdistan to allow us operate from. These will
amount to a lot more air, and ground channels.
In Conclusion:
United States must stop appeasing Turkey’s Rotten
Military Regime, and Disarm it through a military
strike campaign by eliminating their heavy military
machines we ourselves have given them as soon as
possible before other wars start. This regime change
is a lot more critical than Saddam’s regime change
in many ways, because it has kept Kurds, Armenians,
Cyprians, Greeks, and even some others under
constant attacks, threats, and instability, and it
is a threat, which may trigger another chaotic war.
It is time to put an end to this cancer, and we have
the means to do it militarily if Diplomacy just
doesn’t work.
We have to do what we have to do to bring this bully
turned into an unguided missile under submission or
the endless 85 years of Kurdish Sufferings will go
on. Among our allies; our Freedom, and Democracy
will be kept under assault, scarred permanently, and
our American Reputation as Liberators damaged beyond
repair. We must recognize who our enemy is, and who
our friend, or we’re doomed to risk all we have
invested to bring Freedom, and Stability at the
expense of disgraceful regimes since the beginning
of our “Modern” era.
