Another Abuse of the Kurdish Children ...

The Turkish government is completely out of control, they are running around like mad cows. We all know how fascist, brutal, oppressive, and undemocratic the laws and constitution of Turkey are. But one would expect that at least they would respect their own rules, that they have written to oppress all the others other than the Turks, right? Well, no should not expect such a thing when the matter has to do with Turkey, as there is no logic, order or anything of that nature to their actions. MAD COWS! you never know what they will do next.

Not only are they disrespecting their own laws, by putting Kurdish kids at the ages of 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 on trial and imprisoning them for just passing by a protest, or throwing stones at the Turkish Fascist Police Forces, but they also are completely undermining international conventions and treaties that they are signatories of. Who cares, right? Cuneyt Ertus case is still in the minds, watch the video here to refresh you memory.

Yesterday, April 23rd, there were protests going on everywhere in Kurdistan against unjust arrest of the DTP politicians, and here is what AP says happened in Colemêrg (Hekkari)

"An official says the government has launched a probe into the security forces after a 12-year-old boy was severely beaten during a demonstration by Kurds in southeast Turkey.

Video footage of the protest showed an official in military fatigues beating the boy in the head with a truncheon and then kicking him as he lay on the ground.

The state-run news agency says four people were detained and three protesters were injured in Thursday's demonstration in the mainly Kurdish city of Hakkari. The demonstrators barricaded roads and threw stones at police to denounce the detention last week of more than 200 Kurds in a nationwide police crackdown.

Hakkari's governor, Muammer Turker, says the government immediately launched an investigation into officials involved."

Of course we all know what happens when they launch investigations, dont we? As if it is not that same governor, police chief, army officer, politician, prime minister Kerdogan who is ordering these animals to beat our innocent kids, and mothers, indiscriminately and to prosecute and imprison them!!!

Here is the link to the video (I could not upload for some reason, sorry!) where a terrorist turkish police is beating a 12 years old little Kurdish boy. It is understandable as they only can beat our little kids, because they know they can never harm our heros, hevals, in the mountains so this is how they take their revenge from Kurdish people.

I think everybody should see this over and over again to realize how inhumane, brutal, ugly, dishonorable, terrorist, and fascist the turkish government, military, and police are! And this should make us come to our senses and fight with all our power against this fascist regime until we get what belongs to us!

And good job to the DTP members who spent 24 hours in the Parliament in protest for the arrest of its branch heads all around Turkey, for not attending the 23 April Children's Celebration Ceremony. That is what we expect from them! Not to attend the Children's Celebration on a day when Kurdish children are being beaten by the merciless turkish police so hard that one of the Kurdish children is in coma now in Wan. It is also a good way to draw the attention to the issue, and is a good example of Civil Disobedience.

Slowly, slowly they will see us, they will have to see us, we shall not give the option of not to! Then we will be in a better position among our people, in Turkey and in the world, too!

Attacking DTP? Continue with it!

Biji Kurdistan, bimri koledar!, Long live Kurdistan, death to the slaver.

One day, and that day is getting closer and closer, the Kurds will break the chains of this tyranny that have been inflicted upon them by the oppressors that have not only divided their country, but also taken their honor from their hands!

They should continue what they are doing! Yes, they should continue arresting members of the DTP branches in all around Turkey and Kurdistan. Please, arrest more people, please torture us more and more, do it until you cannot move your dirty hands because of fatigue anymore.

You know it very well; we will not be diminished by your torture, by your chemical weapons, by your expensive F-16s, by your UAVs, and all other shit that you are using on us. On the contrary we increase by thousands, by tens of thousands, and soon by millions!

We will, soon, be your nightmares! We promise, that we will turn the cities you live in into hell! We shall not let you even breathe! We shall avenge for every single slap, for every strand of hair that you have pulled off of our mothers hair in torture, for every dirty-ugly-fascist look you have given us! We shall do these! And we shall not let you die, as you have done to us, we shall let you suffer every second, every minute, every hour, every day until you beg for death! But no fucking around! Death is not that cheap!

AKP, Ergenekon, All Fethullahcilar, All the fascists in Kurdistan, we promise to you from now on that we will not let you even peek your heads from the doors, the windows of the places you live in, in Kurdistan. As we are humans, unlike you animals, we give you one last chance. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR HOMELAND-KURDISTAN, now!

You will regret what you are doing to us! You will regret very badly! You will see what the Kurds are capable of doing Katil Kerdogan when you inflict this terror upon them. The Kurds of the mountains have never given up their honor, their identity, what makes you think by these stupid actions you will scare them and they will give up everything they have been fighting for, for years now! No no no, you are making a big mistake Kerdogan, this time you will hit the rock, and it will be very hard and harsh for your beautiful and sensitive skin. You know what Kerdogan, the Kurds in the mountains have rough skin, and when you touch it you regret it. Not only have you touched their skins, but also you have been trying to rape those skins!

YOU SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN! NEITHER SHALL YOUR FASCIST, UGLY, CORRUPT, FUCKED UP COUNTRY WITH ITS MILITARY!

You will all kneel in front of us and beg for forgiveness like DOGS, and I dont know if my honorable, brave, innocent, and beautiful Kurdish Mothers will forgive you then! As for myself, I will not forgive any of you for what you have been doing to us over centuries!

The Kurds are coming, they are like fire, when you approach them friendly they warm you, when you attack them they burn you! AND YOU WILL BURN DOGS! and you will ask for hell when you see the fire of the Kurds, I assure you of that!

I would have never used such a language normally, but they dont seem to be understanding what we are talking about when we use a civilized language. So we shall speak the language that they understand!

They still think the Kurd is the Kurd of old days, without a conscience, without the pen and the weapon! They are wrong, I am telling you! We are coming from all directions! Our guerillas with their Keleshes in their hands, and our lawyers/politicians/intellectuals with pens in their hands.
The Kurd is not the old Kurd; the Kurd is intelligent, intellectual, brave, and figting Kurd now! You better get used to it and stop this outrage now, or else we will show it to you how it is done in a much better way so that you idiots can understand!

Enough is enough, Êdî Bes e!

Long Live ROJ TV-Dengê Gelê Kurd!

So, here we go again! Apparently, Rasmussen, ex-prime minister of Denmark, promised to the Turks that he will shot down ROJ TV in exchange for the Turks to remove their objections to his candidacy to become the new secretary-general of NATO. And he now is the secretary-general of NATO. Meaning that the Turks believed him, or took his word seriously, and finally ended their blockade on his candidacy after making so much noise about it, and making all the EU presidents beg them to say yes to his candidacy! Berlusconi was late to the opening of the bridge that symbolized the unity of Europe, because he was trying to convince Erdogan to say yes. We all know how hard he could be. After all he is from Kasimpasha, right?

Anyway, at the end of the day with Obama, or Resho, and Abdullah Gul getting involved it was resolved somehow. But as I mentioned before, the Turks accepted only after receiving promises on the closure of ROJ TV, and some important posts in NATO be allocated to the Turks. I think they are smart! They made whole Europe beg them, go after them, kiss their ass basically. I wish Europe could have understood a little better what Turkey or Turks are by now. But wishful thinking is of no avail, as we Kurds know it too well.

OK, so lets talk about closure of the ROJ TV. Will it happen, or can it happen? Yes, it can happen, and now it is more likely, because according to the Turkish Media Obama or Resho (actually I will just call him Resho from now on: it is cute), himself has said that he will take the matters into his hands. We should be scared now! President of the United States of America, the most powerful country in the world, has promised something. Of course he will keep his promise. But you know what? I am doubtful about that, as I am equally doubtful about Obama promising such a thing.

By the way, I know Mizgîn at Rastî has commented about Resho's speech as "same shit. different day.", and though I mostly agree with this comment, I have to say that he was/is different from others. Now will that difference in his personality change anything in the world? That I don't know and I don't think so. But he did use the word "KURD" in the Turkish Parliament. That is something in my understanding. He talked about giving more rights to the Kurds and other minorities withing Turkey. That is something. It is not something BIG, but is nonetheless is important. He is president of the USA, so we cannot expect him to be groundbreaking when the matter is the Kurds or the PKK.

They cannot shut down ROJ, they think they can; it is because they don't know what ROJ means.
Shutting down ROJ means darkening the day, obscuring the sun. Do they really think they can do that? Hodri meydan canakam! If they close it, we will open another one. Let them show us and the world how fucked up they and their corrupt and meaningless "democracy" are. As that is the only thing it would entail.

While we talk about this, Imdat Yilmaz, manager of the ROJ has already defied the Danish authorities by saying that they cannot shut down the ROJ. On the other hand, prosecuting judge from Denmark Liselotte Nilas has already stated that it is within their jurisdiction to shut down ROJ or not, and that he has not felt any pressure from anyone to shut down the ROJ.

So lets wait together and see what happens!

Congratulations DTP!

After a very rigorous period of campaigning and fighting against all odds the DTP (Democratic Society Party or Partiya Civaka Demokratik) managed to get most votes in 8 cities of Kurdistan and consequently mayoralties which are: Amed (Diyarbekir), Êlih(Batman), Sêrt(Siirt), Colemêrg(Hekkari), Shirnex(Shirnak), Wan(Van), Idir(Igdir), and Dêrsim(Tunceli).

When one thinks about what kind of difficulties the DTP had to fight in order to win in these cities, one appreciates their success much more. It is a success that has been won on the lives of so many martyrs of Kurdistan, it is a success that has been won on the tortures and imprisonment of so many young kids, it is a success that has been won on tortures, destruction of thousands of villages, burning forests, shortly many big sacrifices. Thus it deserves to be celebrated joyously, and DTP should be congratulated once again for what they accomplished.

It is not an easy thing to win those 8 cities when all of the political parties in Turkey are united against you to crush you, it is not easy when all of the bureaucrats including governors are all working against you; it is not easy especially when the bloody korucus(village guards) and soldiers and the police hold a gun on the voters' necks and threatens to kill them if they vote for the DTP. That is why they should be congratulated over an over again. Not only the DTP politicians and activists but also the Kurdish people as a whole should be congratulated for their courageous work, because if it was not for their bravery and sacrifices this would have happened.

We have been hearing from the news, and by that I dont mean the sold out/corrupt/fascist media of Turkey or Dogan, but rather real and honest news agencies/papers that a lot of the votes that were cast for the DTP were either burnt, thrown away or counted for other parties, as it is the case in Chewlik(Bingol) for instance. And in Agiri(Agri), election council of the city has repeatedly rejected the objections of the DTP of the vote fraud. And they are not accepting to recount the votes, because they know if they do that the DTP will most likely win there, too.

Agiri, Chewlik, Mush, Mêrdin(Mardin), and Bilis(Bitlis) also should have been won. But I am not blaming the DTP for it, as I know the have tried their best to win. And probably DTP would have won in those cities as well if the deep-state or the superficial and corrupt state did not cast shadows on the voting and counting procedure. In other words, if they did not steal the vote that were cast for the DTP.

Even then, what the DTP has got is a big success and a big blow at the face of all of the system parties and Turkish government and military that were all united against the Kurds and their righteous representatives. They all hate each other AKP, CHP, MHP, military, bureaucracy, but when it comes to the Kurds they all unite immediately because they hate us the Kurds that much that they undermine their hatreds or differences. I think this we should take a lesson from as the Kurds.

We should unite around our commonalities, and not be divided based on our small differences or small and temporary interests. We should show them that we are the Kurds, and proud of being Kurds and that they will never ever be able to finish us as for every one of us that they take there will be ten more waiting in line.

I think now the international arena, the EU and the USA should understand this very clearly; the only legitimate representative of the Kurds is the DTP, not AKP or any other entity. And consequently show the respect and due attention to the DTP immediately!

What is happening in Western Turkey?

After a long time, I think it is time for starting again. Sorry for the long time that I was absent, I had a lot of things that needed urgent care, that is why I could not post, but now I am settled once again I can start writing regularly again.

For the people who is reading this blog, I am sure that you are following what is going on in Turkey and Kurdistan. As recent as two days ago PKK attacked Belezê garrison and killed 15 soldiers, there are a lot of wounded soldiers too, and 9 PKK guerillas died in this clash as well. You already know that there have been and there are many cases of lynchings against the Kurds, in the Western parts of Turkey where a big population of the Kurds live. Most of the Kurds who live in those cities, excluding the Kurds of Anatolia that mainly live in Konya-Ankara region who have been living there for over centuries now, were the people whose villages were burnt down and were forced to leave their homes, villages, properties, loved ones behind and start a new and very hard life in these prejudiced and almost fascist cities of the Western Turkey.

I personally think that the true nature of the Turkish fascism/racism is coming out with these lynchings of the Kurds that by now have become almost normal and accepted events/incidents in the Western cities of Turkey.

I have translated an article that was written by Rasim Ozan Kutahyali and published by Taraf daily newspaper. Here is the link to the Turkish version of it. I dont feel like adding anything; this person I think draws a very through picture of what is happening in Turkey. I wil try to translate the following article asap and publish it here as well. Here goes the article:

"Are We Going Towards a Civil War?

The Ayvalik/Altinova incident is very important…

You might have read from the newspapers, A Turkish youngster parks his car in front of a Kurdish Shopkeeper, listening to the national anthem/songs… After this the Kurdish shopkeeper drives his car through this youngster and his family’s place at full speed… Two brothers are lying in blood on the ground and die… The rest is obvious…

A complete indignation… According to the eyewitnesses tens of thousands of people gather together… “Altinova is ours, and will remain ours”, “We don’t want the Kurds here”, “Kurds out, out!” are the cheers that they scream while attacking at the workplaces and houses of the Kurds… Attempts to burn down the houses and cars that belong to the Kurds… Turkish flags everywhere and a complete amuck state… The Kurds leave the town for a time… With the timely intervention of the security forces the de facto confrontation is prevented… the rage is still in the air…

Ethnic tautness is not an exception.

I don’t think that the terrifying situation above, the societal psychology is an exception… This is not an exceptional incident that is caused by provocation… At this point in this country there are certain places where situation is very suitable for an ethnic provocation…

Lets first all accept this fact… The Kurdish Problems is going beyond being a political problem, and unfortunately it is becoming a societal problem…

This problem existed only as a problem between the government and the Kurdish people… Turkish government mentality always denied the existence of the Kurds along with very strict security measures… Every Kurd was a potential criminal in the eyes of the government…

This immoral policy brought the Kurds closer to the PKK… As the DTP politicians say PKK did not create this problem, but PKK is a result of this problem…

But this confrontation between the government and the Kurds did not have an equal correspondence in the society… There was not a serious problem between the Turks and the Kurds… There was not a relationship of hundreds of years f distrust between them… With the saying that is used so often, they had given daughters (in-law) to each other for centuries… Both peoples had a common cultural ground and a common spiritual language…

As a result of the forced immigration that was implemented upon the Kurds by the government, many Kurdish families settled in the rich South and West parts of the country… They started a life struggle there… While there were clashes in the eastern part of the country, there was not a problem between the Kurdish people who migrated to west and south and the Turkish people living in these places… One could expect exclusionist acts from the powerful Turkish people while the government is fighting the Kurds… It did not happen, because the Kurdo-phobia that existed in the government, did not exist among the Turkish people in essence… the Turks did not have such a mental inheritance from their families…

As the years passed by this started to change… the struggle to gain from the economic pie turned into an ethnic translation over time… If there was a commercial disagreement between two Turks the problem became personal, but the commercial disagreements between the Turk and the Kurd surpassed the personalization, and was described on the basis of ethnicity…

With the secularization ethnic hatred increases.

On the other hand, in places where the lifestyle and worldview was more secular the probability of an ethnic tautness emerged as clear-cut facts… As I have mentioned before there was a spiritual ground that the Turks and the Kurds share… There is a common tie that is created on the basis of Islam… This makes it possible to have coalescence/togetherness above ethnicities, soften the disagreements…

In the sociological process of secularization these symbols and values are eroded away… If the secularized society cannot create a common moral ground around citizenship, it ignites the conflicting politicization of the ethnic identities, we should know this well…

We have lived this in Turkey and are living it now… Anybody who knows a little bit of sociology understands what a baloney is Islamification words/concerns… This country is becoming a more modern, and correspondingly more secular country… Modernization, unfortunately, on contrary to what many liberal and leftist intellectuals believe is not a one-sided solely positive process… It brings a lot of problems with itself… It provides a society with a chance of changing its cover completely, and transformation of its world-view… If a secular “civic” ground in this process does not replace the eroded traditional values, it can create a fascistic conflict environment…

Turkey is not longer old Turkey… “Turk-Kurd are brothers” sentences do not make any sense for the new and secularized generations of the Turks and Kurds… On top of this dangerous ground, the government is making things worse by agitating the society…

I will continue with this subject tomorrow, too."
