launch a probe into the continuing Kurdish holocaust

It bears a resemblance to shaggy dog story. To me,
it is especially absurd and preposterous.
A new unlike setup by the Turks. Except this time
the focus is inverted, aiming at the president of
the autonomous region of South Kurdistan (Iraqi
Kurdistan-northern Iraq). Trying to discredit and
disparage him for disallowing the depraved Turks to
carry out their routine task of race extermination
of an ethnic group.
The dim-witted brainless Turks will never realize
that striving to isolate and libel the Kurdish
president is the last most stupid misstep.
President Barzani is an internationally
well-regarded politician, recognized as a
conscientious objector and a strong advocate of
democracy. For decades, he objected injustice and
stood up for peace, freedom and equality.
Lately referred to as a “ tribal leader” by Turkish
media, the Turks are absolutely blind, being
incapable to perceive the facts that the very tribal
leader is the officially nominated and voted-for
leader of millions of people, holding the full
backing of hundreds of thousands of devotees willing
to sacrifice their lives for his sake and for his
legitimate cause. He is the president of the
autonomous Kurdistan region from whom Turkey SHOULD
seek consultation and without him nothing is
achievable for the Turks. It was the very tribal
leader who made greatest and strongest dictators of
the time to knee down in front of his resolve and
ability.
The Turkish false propaganda fabrications to accuse
him of terrorism substantiate the weakness and
incompetence of Turkish government to address her
internal issue (PKK).
On many occasions, the peace-siding Kurdish leader
has offered aid and meditation between PKK and the
racist Turkish state but the Turks seem to make no
distinction among the Kurds and Kurdish nation.
Obviously, Turkish point is more than the
eradication of Kurdish national liberation movements
in Turkey. The existence and recognition of Kurdish
regional government and the ever-increasing
aspirations of Kurds for absolute independence from
Iraq is Turkish unjustified and irrelevant fear.
The Turkish state prosecutors should launch an
immediate probe into the grounds that led to the
emergence of the continuing holocaust against the
Kurds. The Turkish state persecutors should sitdown,
ponder and spend sometimes trying to assess and
digest Barzani’s remarks advising them of peaceful
solution to PKK issue rather than resorting to
intimidation or incursion.

* South Kurdistan (Iraqi Kurdistan
region-Northern Iraq)
* North Kurdistan (Eastern region of Turkey)
** The use of the term "Kurdistan" is vigorously
rejected due to its alleged political implications
by the Republic of Turkey, which does not recognize
the existence of a "Turkish Kurdistan" Southeast
Turkey.
Kurds are not recognized as an official minority in
Turkey and are denied rights granted to other
minority groups. Under EU pressure, Turkey recently
granted Kurds limited rights for broadcasts and
education in the Kurdish language, but critics say
the measures do not go far enough.
Others estimate over 40 million Kurds live in
Big Kurdistan (Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Armenia),
which covers an area as big as France, about half of
all Kurds which estimate to 20 million live in
Turkey.
Turkey is home to over 25 million ethnic Kurds, some
of whom openly sympathise with the Kurdish PKK for a
Kurdish homeland in the country's mainly Kurdish
southeast of Turkey.
Before August 2002, the Turkish government placed
severe restrictions on the use of Kurdish language,
prohibiting the language in education and broadcast
media.
The Kurdish alphabet is still not recognized
in Turkey, and use of the Kurdish letters X, W, Q
which do not exist in the Turkish
alphabet has led to judicial persecution in 2000 and
2003
The Kurdish flag flown officially in Iraqi Kurdistan
but unofficially flown by Kurds in Armenia. The flag
is banned in Iran, Syria, and Turkey where flying it
is a criminal offence"
