Turkey must “Free Berivan and all Kurdish Children
in Turkish Jails” unconditionally if it wants to
survive as a UN member state.
March 3, 2010
Steve Tataii, (ekurd.net)
Turkey must immediately release the imprisoned
innocent Child “Berivan”, a 15 year old Kurdish
girl,
arrested on the way to visit her aunt in the
city of Batman (Batmaan).
It is completely immoral, and irresponsible not to
take action against Turkey; knowing its ongoing
gross violations of human rights in even keeping
innocent juveniles as young as 13 in prison for
simply throwing rocks at fascist Turkish military
police assaulting civilians or being in
demonstrations to simply voice their concerns in
seeking their own basic human rights in their own
North Kurdistan hometowns and villages.
Turkish anti Kurd
militarist regime is now completely out of control,
and operating illegally against all the key
democratic reform attempts by Turkey’s government in
Ankara, which is not in control, and goes along with
the Generals perhaps through intimidations, and
bullied by Military Generals, who should have been
arrested and brought before international courts of
justice or their own high courts, also controlled by
military, for crimes against humanity, if more sane
Turkish military members can sacrifice their
positions and arrest the warmonger fascists to be in
those courts, and removed from power permanently.
How can Turkish government stop this Tyranny, when
the few military officers trying to do exactly that
through a “cou de ta” or overthrowing the military
regime get arrested, and face punishment; how can
the government rid itself from those clownishly
dressed military Generals if all attempts within the
military fail? I’ll tell you how, and I’ve been
telling you for 8 years coincidently from the time
they blocked attacks against Saddam regime by US
forces trying to enter through its South border
(which by the way it lied in North Kurdistan facing
South Kurdistan formerly ruled by Saddam in the
defunct Iraq).

I explained in my articles that it can only be done
by putting “Turkey” under military sanctions, and I
insisted that we must also dismantle most of their
“donated” or purchased military machines, especially
attack helicopters, and jetfighters sent by the
West, all in the hands of mad/insane/senile
Generals, and kept under sanctions until such time
that the government in Ankara can be normalized, and
break the grips of political power from the insane
Generals, forced to sit on the roundtable
discussions in continuing to make anti-Kurd
strategies to appease their own Diabolic egos, and
quest for their hunger in suppressing and
persecuting Kurdish civilians far away from Turkish
areas in South East Turkey they have never had any
right nor business to be in the first place.
The manufactured “Ankara’s government was empowered
to do so solely by the decisions of the colonial
powers, namely “UK & France” redrawing the original
map of Kurdistan homeland in the most Diabolic and
Callous fashion at the 1923 Lausanne Summit, and
throwing each of the 4 parts to be usurped by
Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, without any regard to
the large population of the peace loving, and proud
nation of Kurds, the original owners of Kurdistan
from time immemorial, inhabiting her territory for
over 12,000 years with a civilization second to
none, exposing them to Genocides, persecution, and
terror over the past 90 years.
Shame on the Colonialist lazy bums, who employed a
foreigner “Kemal Ataturk” to deprive the Kurds of
Independence to enjoy peace and stability in their
own homeland. The said occupation campaigns have
gone on through vicious military attacks, using
Western military war machines given to the scummy
puppet regime of Ataturk, sitting back, and watching
the killing field.
This is as sick and as sac-human as it can get, and
no World Leader, their government, nor their Human
Rights entities should stand by idle for it to
continue to this date.
Free Berivan, and all the rest of more than 2622
Kurdish children NOW. To hell with your 2006
self-serving fascistic made up counter terrorism
laws, which is clearly an additional extension of
the Turkish old rotten Kemalist anti-Kurd laws. I
spit on any Turk, who approves of this, and stands
by in the silent majority (which makes them just as
guilty as participating to continue the Turkish
Fascism). Turks should get rid of their sick
military, choose a normal government, recognize
North Kurdistan’s right to have their own state, and
live in the North Turkey with Ankara as their
capitol happily ever after or rest assure all you
Turks; that otherwise you’ll all be sacrificing your
own lives for a bunch of foolish selfish power
greedy insane thugs, and live in shame for the rest
of your miserable lives. Mark my words.
I hope all those politicians, who have invented such
laws without placing any restrictions to avoid its
gross abuse by mentally sick Turkish Generals, and
their likes around the world in clearly visible
sub-sections, they all come forward, and give me a
hand in this mess I’m trying to fix in an article
here. Where is their unholy presence now when we
need them the most, or are they too a part of this
bloodthirsty campaign?
Going back to the poor little innocent Berivan, a 15
year old Kurdish girl in Turkish prison:
I am appalled by the irony of Turkey’s repeated
gross violations of human rights against Kurds after
90 years, while the West is still silent knowing
their undemocratic tyrannical trend:
- Hundreds of genocides mainly in Kurdish villages
between 1914-1923 (Genocide means the intentional
killing of nearly all the inhabitants of a single
community, which I mean “Kurdish Villages” here,
thousands being targeted, and civilians killed.
- Thousands of attempts at genocides in over 20
thousands of Kurdish villages since 1923 (attempts,
meaning some still survived, while hundreds in each
village were killed).
- Thousands of mass killings of armless Kurdish
civilians from 1923-2009.
- Thousands of random assassinations of Kurdish
civilians aimed at terrorizing Kurds’ popular
Freedom movements engineered by former Turkey’s PM
“Tansu Ciller” (1993-95), and carried out by her
50,000 + recruited Turkish paramilitary thugs.
- Thousands of raids against Kurdish civilian homes
in cities & villages in the name of national
security to maintain Turkey’s known anti-Kurd
century old rotten fascist laws, “merely” made to
persecute Kurds oppose Kurdish language, and aimed
at pointless failed assimilation of as many of the
more than 30,000,000 Kurds there being illegally
ruled by a different ethnic group “Turks” since 1923
establishment of the artificial state of Turkey in
“Lausanne Summit” to usurp Kurdistan by 4
artificially manufactured states of “Turkey”,
“Iraq”, “Syria”, and the “North West-West of Iran”
in post WWI through League of Nations’ supposedly
helpful “US Woodrow Wilson self-determination
Doctrine” (we can now see it wasn’t because of any
love to protect an entire nation of Kurdistan rather
to help his European White old boy European
ancestors mainly from UK & France to tear it apart
for profits to be made from the stolen Kurdish
national Oil revenues” to this day,www.ekurd.netbut
securing many Arab nations of the region to become
Independent, and flourish with their own Arab
Governments within their own sovereign territories.
Indeed we can now see Mr. Wilson’s hidden agenda
after nearly 1.5 million Kurds, and 2 million
Armenians perished in Turkey’s campaigns of genocide
mostly in the earlier years from 1915-1923. Some
self-determination Doctrine ha?! This callous bloody
package was by no means meant to secure independence
for Kurds in Kurdistan rather divide their
motherland as if it was a Vacated Real Estate
Property claimed by the leftover of the fallen
Othman empire named “Turkey”, given Guns to its
newly formed military to kill Kurds and Armenians,
and make it easier to profit from discovered oil
fields in Kirkuk, and Basra with Arab Ruled Iraq,
and with Syria & Iran as usurpers keep Kurds
stateless if unable to exterminate the entire
Kurdistan’s population (curtsy of UK, France, and
other colonial vultures’ modern weaponry hand out).
Yet Kurds, using rusted old weapons, knives, and
whatever they could capture from their enemies or
reinvent on their own, the Kurds survived to this
day in the tune of 50-60 million of them, and now,
robbed of their natural wealth worth 90 years of oil
revenues, facing enemies, which refuse to give up
the stolen Kurdish land peacefully, knowing that the
Kurds will never give up fighting to free their
homeland, and themselves from the grips of the
usurpers regardless of their mighty military power.
This is when all those “Western” nations ignoring
this 90 years long human made intentional wars and
tragedies against Kurds, leaving behind at least 1.5
million Kurdish civilians dead. This, while their
Freedom Fighters, labeled as terrorist by US and EU
officials, who can either show the world if they
have any respect to human dignity or they’re just
empty shells lacking any dignity nor human quality,
no fear of God, and unable to face facts, and stop
the 4 terrorist states of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and
Syria they manufactured since 1923 with identical
successor puppet regimes worse than the ones before
as time moved forward to 2010 a century later.
- Constant and endless suppression of Kurds soon
after being placed under the 4 occupying usurpers’
Rules, using arrests, imprisonments, torture, and
execution, always trying to take away over 50
million Kurds’ basic rights to free speech,
political freedom, freedom to teach Kurdish, and in
Turkey the 30 million Kurds subject to be punished
for speaking Kurdish in public, with the exception
of North Iraq or South Kurdistan, which remained
free to practice their Kurdish culture, a condition
achieved through sacrifices of thousands of Kurdish
freedom fighters to protect their 6 million Kurds
Kurdish culture, their dignity, and freedom, despite
campaigns of genocides known as “ANFAL” by Saddam’s
regime, leading to 182,000 Kurds killed since 1982
alone. Unable to reinstate their Independence,
severely shattered as part of the 1923 division of
Kurdistan into 4, South Kurdistan is still in
struggle to be free in half of her territory yet to
be returned to Kurdistan’s Regional Government
jurisdiction, and East Kurdistan, where Iran banned
teaching in Kurdish, while speaking in Kurdish was
allowed in public for its 15 million Kurds, and
finally Syria, where Arab regimes have continued to
deny 3 million Kurdish citizens’ identities, and
suppressed West Kurdistani population by using
arrests, mass killings, imprisonments, and torture
since 1923.
As the 6th paragraph in the latest Petition to Free
Berivan:
http://www.petitiononline.com/be1r1van/petition.html
indicates:
“According to the European Court of Human Rights,
between 1959 and 2009 Turkey was the worst violator
of the European Convention on Human Rights, with
almost 19% of all violations, and 2,295 Judgments
issued against it. Turkey also had the highest
proportion of violations in 2009, with 347 out of
1,625 negative rulings. The right most commonly
violated was the right to a fair trial. Turkey was
also condemned in 30 cases of inhumane or degrading
treatment.” It continues: “Turkey ratified the UN¹s
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on 4
April 1995. Berivan is a ³child², whose rights are
protected by this Convention. Article 37 (c) of the
CRC provides that ³(b) No child shall be deprived of
his or her liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily. The
arrest, detention or imprisonment of a child shall
be in conformity with the law and shall be used only
as a measure of last resort and for the shortest
appropriate period of time;²
We consider that an 8 year sentence on conviction
for the crimes reported is grossly disproportionate,
and appears to be a violation of Turkey¹s treaty
obligations under the CRC.
We call on the Turkish government to release Berivan
and all Kurdish children held in Turkish jails
without further delay under humanitarian law.”
Henceforth, I hope you’ll all sign the petition:
“Free Berivan and all Kurdish Children in Turkish
Jails” by simply going to:
http://www.petitiononline.com/be1r1van/petition.html
, and also pass this article around, publishing it
in your news websites, daily, weekly, or monthly
press, and let’s help free “Berivan” as well as
other minors, and all Kurdish political prisoners
from Turkish Prisons. Also to be aware; that the
other 3 Kurdistan portions need to be free from
their usurper occupiers preferably “immediately”.
Finally,
I would like to bring to Turkey’s High Court
attention; that Turkey needs your help in returning
back to normal civilization from its past 90 years
of blindly following anti-Kurd provisions and
articles written in the outdated constitution rather
than adding further uncivilized attachments stemmed
from a 2006 fabricated and flawed counter terrorist
anti-Kurd law. Kurdish Children, Minors, Women, and
civilians have been victimized in the past 90 years.
This is not showing compassion or sympathy to
Kurdish population long suppressed, oppressed, and
persecuted. You, as the high court Judges, must
remain impartial and steadfast with your
independency.
