Should AKP be closed down?

Well, honestly I would have said no if this question was asked to me a month ago. But now, I say with all my heart and mind "YES, it should be closed down", point.

There is a great article in Taraf about why it should be closed down. It is in Turkish unfortunately. But I agree with that article completely, and will probably say similar things to that article in this post, so dont worry if you dont know Turkish.

Here are some reasons why AKP should be closed down:

-First and foremost it should be closed down so that the leaders of that party can, or maybe, understand finally that their freedom can only be granted through other people's freedoms. That is to say, if you want some freedom to yourself (headscarf), you should want it for others as well (Kurds). Because without everybody's rights granted there is no way that your freedoms will be!

-So AKP has thought that if they collaborate with the army, they might be able to get done some of their objectives, the headscarf issue again, but now it is clear that the army is not willing to, nor will share any of its powers with anybody, but especially not with AKP who they deem as the representatives of radical islamist movement. On the contrary, the army is using all means, as was revealed in " the information support activity action plan", such as judges, universities, influential people, artists, writers, film-makers, media, all of the means that are possible to use to close down AKP. So this should be, hopefully, clear to AKP members now. Even though I have a lot of doubts, I do hope so.

-There is a saying in Turkish which means "to be Muslim to yourself" meaning that they want things only for themselves. If they ever uttered a word about DTP's closure, they would have been in a better position now. But they did not pronounce a word about it, and now they are complaining about it. Saying we are chosen by the will of our people, as if DTP was not chosen by the will of the people but rather some other countrymen. 

-They should, now, know better that if they dont defend others rights when it is necessary, those others will not defend their rights either, when they need it. 

-It should have been completely understood that until "the constitution" that was written by the fascist generals after the coup of 1980 is not changed completely, and a new one written, there is no way that Turkey could become a truly democratic country under the shadow of the generals all the time. Omnipotent generals, I shall say to be more precise. The first three articles of "that" constitution cannot be changed and cannot be even suggested to change, again, according to "that" constitution. What are those three articles? That Turkey is only and only TURKISH, that no language other than TURKISH could be spoken, written or listened, that everyone in Turkey is TURKISH and some other bullshit like these ones. Imagine this: Even the holy books of religions, which are supposedly God's words are being changed to cope with today's needs, but NOOOOO the holy book of the generals is holier than those religious books. That is what I understand when I hear, "these articles cannot be changed and cannot be even suggested to change". Oh and of course that Ataturk was/is/will always be the greatest GOD of all times!

-This is a fight. And in a fight one side always has to lose to the other side. If the swords are taken out of their sheaths, they shall be used. It seems like AKP has a big chance of winning, if they dont act like chickens, as they have done so so far.

-It is good that they are trying to close down AKP, because now they feel the sword in their asses, they either come to their senses and use the sword in their hands to take the one in their asses, or that sword in their asses shall make a big and unrepairable hole in their asses, that will always be seen.

These are some of the things that come to my mind when I think about it. I am sure there are some more things that we can find to say that, it is a good thing that AKP will, hopefully, be closed down. This might bring the promises of Recep Tayyip Erdogan to his useless mind, and that without keeping those promises he will never be an effective man, that will be respected by everyone even if he gets 99 % percent of the votes, and not only 47 %.

I am hopeful that it will be closed down, and that might affect the future of the prospective Chief of General Staff; who that will be and how it will change the dynamics of the country.

That is it for now, I shall elaborate more on this when the time comes.

THEIR DIRTINESS IS MORE APPARENT THAN EVER BEFORE; BUT THEY STILL LAUGH DISGUSTINGLY!

Recently, there have been some incredibly important news about the Turkish General Staff, or the army, and its role in Turkey, and its dirty plans. Mostly revealed by Taraf daily newspaper. I would like to say that Taraf with all its workers is doing a great job. A very dangerous job, but a righteous job that all other filthy newspapers should, but do not do and rather open their arms, pockets and everything else to those power-hungry, blood-thirsty generals of Turkish Army.

Anyway, I will not talk about the news papers and who controls most of them and what kind of fascist he is that his most-sold newspaper Hurriyet's motto is this : "Turkey belongs to the Turks" with Ataturk's picture on a Turkish flag! they are right, though. Turkey does belong to Turks, and Kurdistan to the Kurds, Armenia to the Armenians, Greece to the Greeks etc. Only if they showed some of the respect that they are asking and getting from us and others!

Yesterday's Taraf had another great, sensational news about the Turkish Army and its dirty plans. Apparently, they knew that the Daglica Raid was going to happen, but they did not do anything to prevent it. Why? Well, why not? Because this way they could get their long-desired permission to enter Southern Kurdistan. This way they could say that the PKK is bad and lets all get together against them. This way they could kill some more innocent, ignorant (and stupid at the same time), soldiers, because they are worthless in the generals eyes', as we all know it very well. It is so sad that after all these news, how Turkish people is turning a blind eye to all these dirty war tactics, how they are not objecting to their children's deaths that is being done by the bloody hands of generals.

I took the time to translate the new news about Daglica Raid from Taraf. The puzzle now is crystal clear; especially after "the information support activity action plan" was revealed in Taraf and now with this piece of news. Below is the full translation of the News from Taraf (in Turkish) that was published on Wednesday June 25, 2008, but was ignored by almost all other newspapers and TV channels. One wonders why?

DAGLICA ATTACK WAS KNOWN!

It is revealed that the Gendarmerie Intelligence knew that the Daglica attack, in which 13 soldiers were killed, was going to happen 9 days before it happened and sent a secret report to the General Staff and other related units. In this “urgent’ sealed gendarmerie intelligence report, which Taraf has it now, how attack is going to be conducted, and when is written in details.

The information about Daglica attack, in which 13 soldiers were killed and 8 were tried for ‘treason’, was sent to all responsible and authorized units 9 days before actual attack: including Hakkari Mountain Brigade, and General Staff Presidency. In these documents Taraf obtained, which was dated October 12, 2007, and “urgent” sealed intelligence report by Van Gendarmerie Intelligence Army Corps Commandership all details of attack are given such as: from where the attack will be conducted, the time of the attack, and the coordinates of the bases that will be attacked. This report was sent to General staff Intelligence Presidency first, and then to Land Forces Commandership Intelligence Presidency, Gendarmerie Commandership Intelligence Presidency, 2nd Army Commandership Intelligence Presidency, and to Hakkari Mountain Commando Brigade that is bound to Daglica Battalion Commandership and all related Commanderships.

EVERYBODY KNEW THE ATTACK:
In this report numbered 3590-2292-07/İDAM (63939), and faxed at 18.36 with the title of “Information Instruction”, the attack on Daglica Brigade is described exactly as follows: “The T.O. (Guerrilla Organization) that is under responsibility of Zindan in Hakkari-Yuksekova Ikiyaka Region, is trying to get intelligence through their pawns, about 3rd Daglica Motorized Brigade Commandership (20-37), and are planning to conduct an attack on the Keri Tepe (19-35) Base region between the region named Geper (22-35) while the military units carry out their tasks …”

GENDARMERIE MADE A REPORT TOO:
Two days after Van Gendarmerie Intelligence Army Corps Commandership sent this report on October 12, Gendarmerie General Commandership prepared “Internal Intelligence Report” and sent it to related units. In this report dated October 14, this was said: “the members of the guerrilla organization, that are active in the Hakkari-Yuksekova region, are planning to attack to our security forces that are on an operation”.

THEY HAVE NAMES OF THE ATTACKERS TOO:
In addition to this information, there are warnings about the possibility of attacks in Siirt, Sirnak, Van regions and information about the security stations in these regions and the PKK members’ identities that will do the attack with details in both of those reports prepared.

CODE NAME WEDDING:
Van Chief Office of Prosecution finished its Daglica investigation. The most eye-catching detail in the dossier is the name PKK gave to the attack: Wedding. The attack was conducted when the Daglica Commander was in a wedding.

ENCRYPTION DISSOLVED:
Interesting details were revealed in the news, that Dogan New Agency primarily and other agencies sent to their subscribers. It came to surface that there are 12 more people being tried for sharing intelligence with PKK in this investigation that the court pending a trial released 8 soldiers. In the indictment prepared by Van Republican Prosecutor Cetin Akkaya, the codes were dissolved as well, which were used in telephone conversation between PKK members and their informers in the villages and districts. It was stated that number of soldiers, village-guards and watch positions were told in these codes.

FROM THE ‘SHOP’ TO THE ‘WEDDING’:
The phone conversation between “Zindan” codenamed Huseyin, with a phone belonged to “Agit” codenamed Vahyettin Karay who directed the attack, and “Besir” codenamed village-guard O.E., also appeared in the indictment.
From the wiretapping it was revealed that O.E. told the number of the soldiers and village-guards in Daglica to the guerrillas, and that they encrypted the attack as “Wedding”, the place where the PKK members were as “Shop”, northern Iraq as “Istanbul”, and the senior leader of the organization as “Big brother”.

BRIGATE IN THEIR PALMS:
Village-guard O.E., who is standing on trial arrested in Van 4th heavy penal court, said, “Hello cousin there are 22 goziri (soldiers). Day and night, 10 (village-guards), 12 (ranking soldiers) are staying there. In the same number across, in boot way, there is a hill there, are staying there. Good evening. Regards.” in a text message that he sent to the guerrilla Huseyin.
In another phone conversation, it was revealed that he said, “I said there were 15 (soldiers). Others too (village-guards). All are 22, with new comers total is 44 (soldiers). Before 22 were going, now it is 44. Because some of our men went to it (soldiers). The place where we once ate together. Until now there two sides (soldiers) across, now there it is 44, so that you know”.
Among 8 arrested defendants that are being accused of helping the Daglica attack, there is a 70 years old woman named H.A. It was stated that from H.A.’s phone conversations it was understood that she sent new members to the mountain fraction of the organization, and that she was in touch with PKK member “Beritan” codenamed Cihan Asi who stays in Kanirash in the northern Iraq.

WHAT HAPPENED IN DAGLICA?
According to the documents Taraf has, General Staff, Lands Forces, Gendarmerie, 2nd Army and Intelligence Units in Hakkari knew all about the Daglica Attack and still on October 21, 2007 PKK conducted the Daglica Attack, killed 13 soldiers, and took the other 8 soldiers as POWs to their camps in northern Iraq.
14 days after this event, the soldiers were brought to Turkey but they were put in prison with “accusation of treason”. Brigade Commander Onur Direk blamed private Ramazan Yuce for helping the PKK members. In the first trial on February 2, 2008 the court pending released all 8 soldiers. Afterwards the sound recording of Dirik (about the attack) appeared on YouTube. Dirik, acknowledged his faults in the attack, and cursed (swore to) the commanders in General Staff and a first lieutenant that was killed (whose diary he was reading). After this he was appointed to Supply Commandership Division Logistics Chairmanship in Afyon.


Notes:
I changed the word “terrorist” for “guerrilla”.
I said “Daglica Attack”, but it could also be translated as “Daglica Raid”

This blog shall reflect my personal views about Kurds and Human Rights in all four parts of Kurdistan!

That has been a long time since I wrote anything about the Kurds, rather I was satisfying myself with reading already existent Kurdish blogs, and News sites. But, I have come to the conclusion that every voice for the Kurdish Cause is important. Thus, I will shout as hard as I can, at the top of my lungs, for this cause from here. May this be another good blog to inform people, who are interested in Kurds, and care about Human Rights including the Kurds' rights, in a better way than the Fascist Turkish Media, and in general the ignorant and ignoring medias of the world!
