"The
Topic". O, ya "the topic". It was that short and
sweet identification for what it just was neither
short nor sweet. I had to break it down into 3
separate books by themselves, which I'll even share
a secret with you. It was going to be 5 BOOKS, but
finally decided what the heck; 3 books is as good as
5, if I'm to enter into this gigantic project, and
go for the attempt at being short and precise. I
made that decision, because I thought to myself
(which I had to do so quite a lot before stepping
into the 3 separate frameworks all on their own),
that I have to write what I have to say in a much
simpler, precise, and short fashion, but never part
from the factual stories without leaving my readers
satisfied, so that if they can't comprehend the
points in any given story; at least give them some
clue as to how to do a quick search on their own if
that particular point has slipped away from their
memory out of the daily news documentaries, or even
worse; never heard of it because many times my news
sources have been from fresh and live coverage only
seen through the Kurdish news Reporters' lens, and
only argued in Kurdish (among other 5 languages I'm
familiar with) through the Near East, and Europe's
most southern tip if you will. Kurdistan as a whole
is in two continents: North Kurdistan, and part of
South Kurdistan are in Europe, but West, and East
Kurdistan In North West of Asia better referred to
as Near East. Any way I look at my writings at this
stage, I believe 3 BOOKS written at the same is
quite an accomplishment, especially that the "TOPIC"
is current and most vital and urgent to all human
rights activists and peace lovers, and not an
interesting "Topic" for New York Times or "Los
Angeles Times", leaving out most of the facts, and
never reporting what I, "the prolific
writer-activist used to send them, and always being
turned down by these corporate oriented publishers"
that's why. On the other hand, what you'll read in
my books are hard facts in the introduction, and
secondly, many articles, which were published on
time, when I approached the more honorable, and
people oriented publishers, dealing with vital,
urgent, and ongoing political events during the war.
"Independent South Kurdistan", which I call it
BOOK 1 or the main BOOK in the series consists of
288 pages of which about 80 pages in the beginning
are "Preface", and then it dives into a lengthy
"Introduction", which consists of many heavy duty
terminologies made simple for my global readers, and
a combination of a short Contemporary Political
Analysis of Kurds and Kurdistan since 1920s, as well
as several extra fresh news about the recent clashes
between Kurds and Eastern Kurdistan's newly found
power usurper, and most importantly several photos
from the injured Kurdish civilians, less gruesome
and bloody than what I preferred to fit in the
books, simply because most of you have already seen
the photos of war victims enough recently, and there
was no point in being redundant on the pictures as
such. In fact, it is most amazing I could even
insert some 25-30 photos, many from my own personal
collection taken in Kurdistan, since my worries
remained to be "Am I going to be able and write
everything vital and urgent necessary to make my
points or will I have to go back to the old 5 books
or plan "B"?
Fortunately, my extraordinary memoirs from this and
all other pre-2003 wars came in handy, a safely
packaged, carefully, and naturally compressed
quantity I couldn't have been happier with.
Let me elaborate a bit more about the other two
books or "IRAQ WARS" and "KIRKUK KURDISTAN".
Perhaps my third book or "IRAQ WARS" has given
you the key factors in why we have 50 million Kurds
today without their own Independence. I have briefly
shown a statistic on the number of ARAB countries
being 22 today, and the number of TURKIC countries,
being 6 today, which prominently includes
"Turkey" usurping the largest part of "KURDISTAN"
out of the 4 partitioned, and home to 25,000,000
proud Kurds. It is worth mentioning; that TURKIC
ethnic people not only have 6 independent UN member
states, but several "Autonomous" states with rights
just about as much as any one of their other
independent states, yet Turkey is shamelessly and
Tyrannically imposing the idea; that "North
Kurdistan" Kurds don't even exist, and they're to be
called "Mountain Turks", which is an insult; that
has gone on for decades since 1920s. In fact Turkey
has restarted its military attacks against innocent
Kurdish civilians with distorted charges of having
something to do with the recent clashes between the
Turkey's Junta military, and PKK Kurdish fighters,
since Turkey has not respected the ceasefire between
the two, and has refused to grant PKK Kurds with
General Amnesty recommended by many of our allies
and others in the region, so that they can lay down
their arms as they have agreed to, if a definite
Amnesty treaty is ratified, and go back to their
families living in the Cities, Towns, and Villages
of North Kurdistan, ending the unwanted clashes with
Turkish soldiers. This is one significant example of
how blood thirsty Turkish military regime is as
you'll read in all 3 books. The Kurds are even
punished for speaking their own Kurdish language,
dress their own Kurdish cloth, and Turkey has even
harassed its ethnic Kurdish Congress members, and
some 42 Kurdish Meyers, threatening them to be
removed and punished from their jobs if they promote
their culture and language.
Finally, there are a total of 3 independent
Persian states, again prominently recognized by
their more powerful state or Iran. Today, Iran has
also refused to grant autonomy to its more than 15
million strong Kurds, and has managed to provoke new
clashes with the Kurds there, killing dozens or
perhaps hundreds, which include many cold blooded
murders in form of executing innocent Kurdish men,
often teenagers, which even used to include boys as
young as 11 years old back in the 1980s, but now
targeting Kurds indiscriminately across Eastern
Kurdistan, killing many innocent civilians. All this
began under Mr. Ahmadinejad's Watch, when his more
moderate Shia Iran's president Khatami lost his bid
for reelection. All these horrible human rights
violations are continuing while we read this news
article, and especially while Iran has managed to
divert the attention to its Nuclear energy program
with what has often been referred to as "IAEA".
While President Bush and Secretary Rice have both
been patient in our administration; it seems that
once again Kurds in Eastern Kurdistan have remained
to be kept in the back burner. Not to flip flop from
one "Kurdistan" to another, but the same situation
exists regarding Turkey. In fact in Turkey the
situation is getting more critical, while many Kurds
labeled as PKK supporters are being arrested,
imprisoned, tortured, and even killed, with their
family having no chance or a hard time to even
collect their bodies for burial. With Turkey, vying
to get EU membership; it is not clear how this human
catastrophe against Kurds will end. One thing is
clear. Turkey shall never become an EU member as
long as it has not given full autonomy to its more
than 25,000,000 Kurds. The Kurds in the meantime
shall never stop fighting for their basic human
rights to freedom, attainable only through a
full-scale autonomy. The 3 books also briefly
discuss Syria's Kurds' suppression, and throughout
all three books are the current event articles
regarding Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. On the
final analysis, There no longer exist an "Iraqi
Kurdistan". The name has changed. The new born
nation is called "Independent South Kurdistan", and
as you enter into South Kurdistan from any
direction; a sign has been posted on all border
entry points saying: "WELCOME TO KURDISTAN".
At the end of the BOOK 1 there is a section; which
informs you of the main cultural, media, art, and
some other aspects and sectors of Kurdish nation.
There, you'll find the mention of Kurdish TV
stations, which even broadcast the news in English
twice daily, and also allow other minorities
announce the news in their native tongues. Kurdistan
has been known as the cradle of civilization with a
discovered history of 12,000 years advanced and
20,000 years pre-advanced civilizations through the
study of anthropologist. Their Democratic way of
life is the oldest of all other cultures, and they
have always respected and protected other minorities
visiting and residing within their boundaries.
Kurdistan extends from above the city and county of
"AMED" or "Diyarbakir", through dozens of other
major cities in North Kurdistan, and enters into
South Kurdistan's most Northern cities called Zakho
and Dohouk, which then goes through one of the
oldest and most Kurdish city of Kirkuk Kurdistan
(the topic of my second book), and Irbil or the
present capitol of South Kurdistan, and finally,
without mentioning dozens of other major cities; it
reaches the East Kurdistan city of Bana, Saqqiz,
Mahabad, Urmia, Sina, and Kermashan just to name a
few major Kurdish cities in East Kurdistan.
As a suggestion, it is best that you start reading
the first book with 288 pages "Independent South
Kurdistan", which includes a special chapter about
Hawaii on issues many of you may not know, and then
read "IRAQ WARS" or book 2, which will give you a
good command of the key elements of Kurdish people's
85 years long war for Liberation, its native Kurdish
people, the new comer non-Kurd settlers since 1400s,
with the permission of the past Kurdish Kings,
Sultans, and Chiefs, who always kept the sovereignty
and Territorial Integrity of Kurdistan well
protected, and governed with fairness and Justice
throughout the vast Kurdistan major, consisting of
600,000 Square Kilometers or as big as France.
Today, South Kurdistan has a President, a Prime
Minister, Ministers, and a well attended parliament,
as well as their national military known as
Peshmarga Forces. There are at least three
International Airports, three major Universities,
and all the social institutions, which makes up an
Independent country as a secure, stable, strong, and
most of all "Self-Sufficient" nation. Thank you for
your support and interest about my 3 newly published
books, and I'm sure it's well worth owning all 3 of
them. Please pass the word around, and if you like
to set up a book introduction session or Forum on
their subjects, please call me to arrange a date for
the events.
Thanks again. Finally,

About
the Author
Steve Tataii is a prolific writer, who has been
writing about the Liberation of Kurds since 1976,
and his most intense writing began right before the
start of the Iraq Liberation war on August 2002,
when he was interviewed by Kurdish Media about his
stance on Kurdish freedom and Independence
particularly in South Kurdistan [North of the
Liberated Iraq], and while campaigning for a seat in
U.S. Congress as a grassroots candidate. This
interview was published in BOOK ONE. He has two
degrees from the University of Hawaii in Mathematics
and Political Science. He speaks six languages, four
of which are from the region, and has gifted
Conflict Resolution skills on macro and micro
levels. He has done extensive educational work as a
lecturer on recent Kurdish political history. He has
been writing his own speeches and articles both in
Hawaii, a few other states, and also on his visit to
Europe in 1989. The news of the “GAP” DAM project by
Turkey, discovered from that 1989 trip, was most
vital to the survival of the Kurds in their valleys
with thousands of Kurdish villages. On his return
home in Hawaii, he authored two of many resolutions,
which called to put a moratorium on Turkey’s attempt
to build more than 20 DAMS in North Kurdistan, South
East of Turkey, at the “WILD” conference of the
indigenous peoples held at the University of Hawaii.
The DAMS would have uprooted more than 5 thousands
villages with over 6 million Kurds inhabiting them
for thousands of years, and would have destroyed
thousands of native endangered species found no
where else. A Kurd from both Kurdish parents
himself, he has firmly believed; that the best
solution to Kurdish people’s stateless dilemma,
aside an already Independent South Kurdistan, for
the other three parts, will be through peaceful
political negotiations and political solutions.
