American
and Kurdish Peshmarga must always keep this crucial
fact in mind and deal with it accordingly as a move
to disarm Turkish terrorist military establishment
as quickly as possible if they refuse to have a
positive change in their military-Ruled regime. Here
is a quick and comprehensive look at Turkey's major
international crimes since 1920: The origin of the
whole dilemma causing a war for liberation by Kurds
in their own ancient homeland encompassing an area
as large as California began around 85 years ago. By
1920 the vast Ottoman Empire fell apart after the
WWI, and its nations were left with no central power
to answer to Sultans in the fallen Capitol City of
the Ottoman Empire in Constantinople, today known as
Istanbul.
Kurdistan
was scheduled to be an Independent country of its
own together with a few other nations on the listed
nations of the drafted treaty of Sevres being
implemented by the League of Nations to bring peace,
security, and stability in the post ottoman empire
era. All those nations living peacefully side by
side within the Ottoman Empire including those
located in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia,
Iraq, and the reduced portion of the Empire itself,
Turkey, did achieve their independence through that
treaty, but the nations of Kurdistan, Azerbaijan,
and Armenia did not because of the left over and
reduced portion of the Empire, namely "Turkey." With
its expansionist greedy nature, a hegemony of its
predecessor bigger Ottoman, it was still trying to
act with ambition for land snatching, even if it
would trample upon Kurdistan's sovereignty.
Kurdistan,
today home to over 45 million Kurds, is the largest
nation without a country, no thanks to Turkey with
the help of its supporters Great Britain and France,
which continued its tyrannical and dictatorial
stranglehold on its own nearly 25 million Kurds, and
forcing their war of Liberation to continue in the
past 85 years. The other two major portions of
Kurdistan are in Iraq with 5-7 million Kurds, and
Iran with over 15 million Kurds, and Syria with 2.5
million Kurds, each causing the Kurds wars,
genocides, executions, ethnic cleansings, torture,
imprisonments, and oppression. In short, this war is
mainly due to what Turkey initiated, and other parts
followed in a domino effect since around 1920. When
Turkey, under the brutal regime of Kemal Ataturk,
who continued its campaigns of genocide against
Kurds and Armenians, killing over a million Kurds
along with their political leaders, as well as over
2 million Armenians.
This was
the beginning of a prolonged war for liberation by
Kurds, Armenians, and Azeris. Armenia and Azerbaijan
luckily obtained their independence after the fall
of another Empire, the USSR, after the end of the
Cold War in 1989, but Kurds remained captive.
Therefore, this war has many untold stories, but
there is no question about Turkey's initial foul
play when it interfered with the implementation of
the treaty of Serves by the League of Nations
Independence treaty, when the League did not
safeguard the plan for Kurds, Armenians, and Azeri
nations within the fallen Empire due to Ataturk's
iron fist colonialist military attacks, when the
League abandoned its obligation to the most ancient
nation of Kurds with 12,000 years of civilization.
Although
Armenia and Azerbaijan got their Independence in
1989 after the fall of U.S.S.R., but Kurdistan,
mainly outside of U.S.S.R., continues to remain
without an officially recognized state to this day.
Particularly, the Independent South Kurdistan is yet
to be officially recognized as a UN member state
even while we have Liberated the Iraqi region after
invasion, but it is totally unrealistic and
ludicrous to even think that the two nations of
Kurds and Arabs in Iraq since 1920s wrongfully drawn
up map aimed to exploit Kurdish natural resources in
Kirkuk Kurdistan, and Basra oilfields in the South,
after 85 years of wars; suddenly restart another
chapter of wars to be left alone, and live in their
own independent states in peace and security. This
intended piracy of the colonial past has become the
most vicious and malicious plot against the entire
nation of Kurds, which has so far left around 3.5
million innocent Kurdish civilians killed in series
of wars, and bombings, but most of all Ethnic
cleansing in the large provinces of Kirkuk Kurdistan
and Mosul against the Kurds in the artificial Iraq,
and North Kurdistan usurped by Turkey, as well as
West Kurdistan usurped by Syria. Our attempt at
unification of the two totally diverse ethnic groups
of Ancient Kurds and the desert Arabs of South is
utterly irresponsible and insensitive. Some of our
administration's spokespersons immature and nave
statements of the Kurds themselves told me they
don't want to be independent is unbelievably stupid
and internationally criminal.
The Kurds
have held half a dozen of Referendums and elections
since our invasion in 2003, and have signed
declarations at the rate of 98% of their entire
Kurdish population, declaring that they want to live
in an Independent South Kurdistan as you'll read in
my book series printed published articles. What we
must focus on now; is to declare and recognize an
Independent South Kurdistan as quickly as possible
before it is later than the three years gone by, and
before we cause further tensions, and possible
clashes between Kurds and Arabs in Kirkuk, the
inseparable part of Kurdistan. The unstable part of
the defunct Iraq in South is not and should not be
imposed on the Kurds. To establish security in the
South should not be prerequisite to Kurdish
Independence in South Kurdistan, ready to be
officially recognized as a nation state in the past
15 years. All those wise guy journalists trumpeting
their statements about Kirkuk having other
minorities other than Kurds should really shut the
hell up, because it is obvious that they their own
paid agendas to do their dirty work for their
masters, and the pushing of this anti-Kurd agenda
has gone on far enough. Our U.S. Administration
should wake up and smell the coffee, because they're
forcing the Kurds to fight for what belongs to them
and has been their homeland and their territory from
time immemorial. Finally, the Kurds have gone far
beyond their line of duties to help our Iraq
Liberation.
They
understand; that it would have taken longer to
Liberate Kirkuk and Mosul if it wasn't for our
invasion to remove the pathetic Saddam, but there
should not be any negotiations over the fact that
Kurds want their Independence, and there should not
be any doubts about Kirkuk Kurdistan's inclusion
within the Independent South Kurdistan. The more we
prolong this matter; the closer it may get to
another war within the already existing unfinished
war to secure the South. We have repeatedly admitted
we are not there for oil. What we should do then, we
must get on with Liberating the Kurds, and securing
an Arab government for the South. We can't have it
both ways, and we won't succeed in our plan of
unification as an exit strategy. Once we have an
official Independent South Kurdistan, then we may
focus on the remainder of the task, which appears to
be the lack of security in the Arab provinces. The
Kurds have done their share. Isn't it time we let
the Kurds be, and instead help their nation after 85
years of wars?
