In
the face of unceasing failure to join European
Unions for its Human Rights Violations and recurring
U.S. warnings, Turkeys Fascist military maintains to
commit mass murder in Southeast Turkey (Northern
Kurdistan) and meddle into neighboring Iraq’s
internal affairs.
On a daily basis, Turkish troops backed by tanks and
artillery cross the border into Kurdish-controlled
northern Iraq (Southern Kurdistan) under the pretext
of securing its edges and blocking the formation of
an independent Kurdish state, a move the United
States strongly opposes.
Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Sermet Atacanli
said the troops crossed into northern Iraq to aid an
Iraqi Kurdish opposition group fighting the Turkish
Kurdish rebels. The group, the Kurdistan Democratic
Party, or KDP, controls the area along the Turkish
border. "Our troops are assisting the KDP from the
air and with artillery fire," Atacanli said.
Kurds in southeast Turkey (Northern Kurdistan) are
fighting back for their national rights, freedom and
self-determination, during which more than 2000
villages have been razed by the Turkish military and
thousands of civilians killed.
The documented Human
Rights reports cast light upon the extend of gravity
of genocides, torture, extra-judicial executions,
rapes , murders , abuse of political prisoners and
disappearance cases committed by Turkish government.
To deny the basic human rights of its own Kurdish
populace and to make their voice unheard, the most
brutal and barbaric campaigns have been directed
against them.
The figure of people dislodged from
southeast Turkey during the skirmish between
government forces and the armed Kurdish fighters has
been estimated at over one million mainly Kurdish
villagers. Many of these villagers were forced out
of their homes and off their land by Turkish
security forces and paramilitary village guards with
the goal of denying them of access to shelter, food,
and recruits.
These ousted citizens have been living in deplorable
conditions in cities across Turkey, hundreds of
kilometers from their homes and livelihoods. Some
reports allege that the use of sexual violence
against Kurdish women by the security forces is
commonplace, in addition. The European Court of
Human Rights has found Turkey guilty on charges of
burning villages in the south-east.
In spite of all these facts, US support for the
Ankara regime's brutal war against the Kurds in
south-east Turkey, including its regular incursions
into Iraq, is nothing new. The US has never
supported the Kurdish people's right to
self-determination in Turkey, Iran or Syria. US
leaders have said they would prefer the Iraqi
military to remain in control of Kurdish-inhabited
northern Iraq; however, they also want a more
pliant, pro-US Iraqi regime.
Condemn the Turkish military operations inside and
outside Kurdistan and advocate the voice of Kurdish
freedom fighter anywhere in this world.
