Nominally, Various Turkish governments on the
surface have proclaimed, they practice democratic
process; same time have forbidden over 20 million of
its Kurdish citizen to participate democratic
process; with exception of recent years that have
allowed limited democratic participation process for
its Kurdish citizen. It is still long way to go and
it is far from complete/perfection; but it is a
glimmer of hope is on the horizon that both people
can co-live together as a peaceful partners.
Now Turkish government anxiety into Kurdish
liberation movement in Western Kurdistan in Syria;
Erodgan government has publicly declared its
staunchest support for Sunni Arabs anti- Basher
Assad’s regime in Syria. While same time has
verbally propagandize invasion of western Kurdistan
because this areas has been liberated by a
particular group or a political party. Democracy one
can’t pick and chose or impose for someone else to
what kind of political party or a group out to lead.
In 1990 ‘s and 2003 Turkish government showed same
anxiety/phobia, even though did not pin point a
particular group, but rather the fear approach was
the whole Kurdish issues South Kurdistan - Iraqi
Kurdistan. But today it appears at least on the
surface the current Turkish government has overcome,
its fear approach. Autonomous Kurdish government has
become one of the biggest trading partner and
current Turkish government has gained a tremendous
economic strength and prosperity perhaps Turkish
Companies coffer over 8 billion dollars annually
from autonomous Kurdish region.
Turkey should welcome future democratic process,
pluralistic, Federated government in Syria including
Western Kurdistan- Syrian Kurdistan - Western
Kurdistan will perhaps in the future will become
also its trading partners,’ just like Officially
recognized Kurdistan autonomous region-Iraq .
Syrian Opposition Movement: Initially had
miscalculated approach to the Kurdish questions and
concern in Syria. They did not have any pre-dialogue
or approach to many Syrian Kurdish political
parties, these kind of demagogy behaviors will not
produce any tangible positive results for all Syrian
ills. Are anti Bashar al- Assad ‘s fighting for
freedom,www.ekurd.net
democracy for all Syrians or they just want to
change Assad’s regime, regardless of out come?
Syrian oppositions have to recognize that the
Kurdish recognition in Syria is inevitable, Kurdish
people and their political parties, they have to
establish proper dialogue with.
Extreme views and anti Kurds sentiment within
opposition circle will not help to alleviate old
wounds. People with Such extreme view out to be
excluded from decision making in Syrian future; like
a late region’s Chief of police & Baathist Cabinet
post as minister in 1963, Mohamed Talab Hilal. Hilal
tried a baseless and unfounded writings about
Kurdish history; history can not be manipulated as
one wish to change.
Turkey should wait on anxiety; its rhetoric as usual
not to jump on Wagon; autonomous region inside Syria
might be in their benefit just like autonomous
region inside Iraq. Who knows what might happen?
Unity for Syrian Kurdish political parties; credit
should go to President Massoud Barzani, who tried
his influence to form a committee of different
political parties; now is known supreme committee
for all Kurdish factions inside Syria.
