Dr. Denise Natali‘s writing is a support for last
propagating Regional Imperialism in Kurdistan.
Observed many of the written articles, by Scholar
Denis Natali throughout different media outlets
indirectly encouraging and cautioning regional
powers to keep cooperating to status quo of old
colonial borders in Kurdistan, to be kept as they
are.
Since the inception of ‘Young Turks spring- Unionist
or ultra- nationalist adventure’ in the beginning
late 18th century - they chose to discriminate
against Kurds intellectuals, then to go to mono rule
,which dragged Ottoman Empire to a catastrophic wars
.
Pan-Arabism – ideology in early 19th century, which
produced Michel Aflach Baath Party ; “its Socialism
soon to become ultra- national variety”, which
produced infamous omnivore a man like Mohamed Talab
Hillal in Syria, the Baathist Cabinet post Minister
in 1963; who planned systematic destruction of
Kurdish land in Eastern Syria, who wrote a baseless
& unfounded thesis on the Kurdish people, which he
set out “Arab Cordon Plan” ( Al Hizam al-Arabi)
which envisaged the expulsion of the entire Kurdish
population living in eastern Syria, so called along
the border with Turkey”. Today the World has
witnessed that the racist misguided policy that set
out by opaque views that all Syrian people are
suffering, and in Iraq produced like a carnivore Ali
Hassan al- Majid with the known nick name “chemical
Ali”.
The Baathist in Iraq in which chemical Ali envisaged
to destroy the Kurdish people and Kurdistan with
chemical weapons again; the world has witnessed how
much the whole Iraq suffered in particular the
Kurdish people have suffered the most of this
misguided policy, but at least chemical Ali met his
fate, “was hanged for his crime against humanity”. I
am not here to teach Scholar Natali a history lesson
but she (Natali) should be cognizant enough that
these kinds of myopic views have degenerated the
region including but limited to incalculable amount
of money for purchasing arms, to control the
regional people, to sustain status quo and to
maintain dictatorial system in place, economic
digress and preventing academics advances, etc.
“Kurdistan was erased from the map after World War
1, when the Allied Powers carved up the Middle East
and denied the Kurds as a nation – State,” as far as
Kurdish people concern this is a historical betrayal
bestowed on the Kurdish nation by the victors of
World War 1. The dominators of the sub- colonial
states of this land do not appear to have any future
solutions at hand or to say these armed conflicts
have failed to achieve any tangible goals.
Therefore, we should pursue a different vision for
the whole region,www.ekurd.net
the best option that would be a peaceful process.
The Kurdish people have not sought superiority over
any other nation; they seek equality, co-
partnership, peace and justice for all, but at the
same time, they do not accept inferiority either.
Dr. Natali, one of your interviews;
by Joel Wind the title of the
article stated
“Kurdistan will never become independent, it is not
in the inertest of any regional State” what gives
you such hypothesis and on what bases you make such
crude predicament, perhaps people like you are sad
to see dictators like Saddam Hussein is gone from
the center stage; it appears that your pen is
consumed for realpolitik.
Dr. Natali, while you were working as a teacher in
autonomous region Kurdistan- Iraq on March 6, 2012;
in the written article by Borou Daragah, he asked
you that are you investing your money in Kurdistan,
then you stated “we are not taking money from Paris
(your place of residence) investing here ( in
Kurdistan) ; are you kidding?” That was a wrong
financial forecast by your view. Whatever amount of
money had you invested before in Kurdistan then it
would have quadrupled by now and it would have been
much higher profit margin than the same amount of
money in Paris. Maybe many people listened to such
wrong advice not to invest; I am pretty sure they
regretted now because I am one of those who did not
invest.
“The ideology of racism serves to legitimate the
social inequalities between the groups by making
them seem “natural” or “right. ”If one can believe,
that all tyrannical behaviors are good. Prejudice
attitude toward members of another group. These
people are regarded with hostility simply because
they belong to a particular group, and they are
assumed to have the undesirable qualities that are
attributed to the group as whole”.
Natali, these writings have become thoroughly
detestable; your grim view against a nation who has
been struggling for many decades to free themselves
from tyranny and to gain freedom. However; your true
color is camouflaged behind, the National Strategic
Studies INSS, at National Defense University
