Turkey, Kurds, France and Freemasonic Messianism

In a recently held in Ankara Symposium on "Prevention of Economic and Ideological Support for the PKK/Kongra-Gel", Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar Büyükanit said, on Tuesday December 11, that acts of terrorism have been both politicized and legalized in recent years, pointing to the presence of deputies from the Democratic Society Party (DTP) in the Turkish Parliament.
 
Organized by the Turkish General Staff Military History Archives and Strategic Studies Institute (ATASE), the Symposium was an opportunity for selected specialists to deliberate on the issue, and to attend two most important speeches given by Gen. Büyükanit and Deputy Chief of General Staff, Gen. Ergin Saygun. 
 
Gen. Büyükanit reportedly noted that domestic and foreign support flowing to the terrorist organization is in interaction, and stated that acts of terror perpetrated by separatist groups have recently been politicized and legalized, in reference to deputies from the pro-Kurdish DTP in the Ankara Parliament (http://www.todayszaman.com/tzweb/detaylar.do?load=detay&link=129229).
 
Furthermore, Gen. Büyükanit went on stating that "it is not easy to find ways to prevent resources from going to the terrorist organization because it is supported by domestic and foreign entities". After specifying that the foreign support for the terrorist organization comes to a large extent from northern Iraq, he added: "Domestic and foreign supports trigger each other. If the terrorist organization was not supported by internal dynamics, the scope of foreign support to members of the separatist group would not be that large. In other words, domestic support leads foreign sources to support the terrorist organization".
 
Very accurately, Gen. Büyükanit specified that the concepts of Freedom, Democracy, Law and Human Rights are of vital importance, and that’s why terrorist organizations’ representatives constantly evoke them to confuse various countries and establishments. He then concluded with a much discussed warning: "The entire Turkish nation should be very careful in its acts. Terrorism has been both politicized and legalized".
 
Contrarily to the diplomatic language employed by Gen. Büyükanit, Deputy Chief of General Staff, Gen. Ergin Saygun, was more explicit in his remarks. He stated overtly that the stance of certain countries, including Turkey's allies, does encourage members of the outlawed PKK in their terrorist activities.
 
Clearly denouncing the attitude of several pseudo-allies of Ankara, Gen. Saygun said that the stance adopted by certain countries, including Turkey's allies, is the most crucial factor that paves the way for members of the terrorist organization to find safe havens and continue their armed attacks. He then demanded the flowing financial and psychological support (to the terrorists) to stop, calling all countries to contribute to the worldwide struggle against acts of terrorism perpetrated against innocent civilians by armed terrorist organizations.
 
In a moment of transparence, Gen. Saygun revealed the conflicting news and data that arrive to the Turkish capital these days; he said: "The EU has taken significant and promising steps to contribute to Turkey's fight against the PKK terrorist group in the last few weeks. But we also see that conferences that spread the propaganda of the terrorist organization in question are organized in the European Parliament and in the French and UK parliaments by members and proponents of the separatist group".
 
Although at a moment of his speech, Gen. Saygun specified that "the PKK receives financial aid from European countries where it conducts illegal operations such as drug and human trafficking", when concluding, he expressed inability to understand why some countries still continue to call members of the terrorist group 'PKK guerillas, 'armed fighters' and 'Ankara dissidents'.
 
At a certain moment, Gen. Saygun’s speech resembled a complaint: "Steps taken by Turkey in its fight against terrorism are criticized by European countries for reasons of human rights, but these countries forget that they take stricter measures against terrorist organizations when necessary. Though all European countries remain silent in the face of tough measures taken to curb terrorist attacks waged against their countries, they are critical of a court case opened to close down a political party that explicitly supports a terrorist organization".  
 
There are no Kurds.
 
What may look odd to a military expert is down-to-earth reality to a historian. Turkey faces apparently a problem the core of which is neither military nor socio-economic and political, but historical.
 
In fact, there is no such people as Kurds; there are various peoples, speaking different languages, originating from different ethno-linguistic groups, and living in parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria, that cannot be regrouped under any national name – except this represents a vital need of an interfering power.
 
In Turkey, there are Christian Aramaeans (Suryanis), who speak Aramaic, and Muslim Aramaeans, who speak Arabic (without being Arabs). In addition, there are Muslim populations who speak Zazaki (Dimli), There are people speaking Azeri Turkish, Kabardi Caucasian, Kirmanjki (also called Dersimki, which is close to Zazaki), and people who speak Kurmanji (also called Shemdinani).
 
Leaving Aramaeans, Azeris and Caucasians apart, it would consist in a terrible act of oppression and tyranny to label all Zazaki speaking people, Kirmanjki speaking people, and Kurmanji speaking people as ‘Kurds’. If we use this name for the Kurmanji speaking people exclusively, it would be correct but only if we limit our approach within Turkey.
 
Similarly to what happens in Turkey, various peoples, speaking different languages, and originating from different ethno-linguistic groups, live in what may be comically called as Syrian, Iraqi and Iranian Kurdistan. These populations differ among themselves also at the level of religion. Yazidi ‘Kurds’ have been recently massacred by the gangsters of Barzani, who supposedly fought for Freedom, Democracy, Equity, Justice, and Human Rights at the times of Saddam Hussein.
 
A Turkish policy for ‘Kurdistan’
 
The ground realities being so, one may wonder what Turkey’s policy in the entire area should be. Reassessing the work and the approach of Kemal Ataturk 90 years later, one can certainly draw the conclusion that the approach of political maturity and the vision of human and social progress that pushed to the formation of a national state in the 20s, if placed within the context of the Era of Globalization, should direct us now towards the rise of a multinational state.
 
In the 1920s, the modern, progressive, self-reliable and efficient state should evolve around one Nation. All the peoples of Anatolia were considered as Turks not in the sense that they originated from Central Asia or that they were Turkish native speakers but as common contributors and participants in a historical process that through millennia of Human Civilization brought forth the then young nation. The search for the Anatolian identity involved references to the Sumerians, the Hittites, and many others, a long list of names the last of which was the Modern Turk, the citizen of the country founded by Kemal Ataturk.
 
In the first decade of the 3rd millennium for Turkey to efficiently pursue its development on the perspectives envisioned by Kemal Ataturk, moments and paradigms of multicultural societies have to be selected from the Anatolian and the Middle Eastern past, focused on, and projected on all sectors of the society, Education to Politics, Economy to Culture, Foreign Policy to "National" History.
 
One must not forget this: Turkey is not a well delimitated country that one would be able to clearly demarcate it within (or as part of) the Ottoman Empire. Turkey is just the part of the Ottoman Empire that Kemal Ataturk was able to save. This says a lot. If for instance the Mosul Vilayet was finally included in Turkey, this would not help create a new state "Turkey – Kurdistan"; it would be again "Turkey". This says even more; if tomorrow Turkey incorporates Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, the new state would not need be called ‘Turkish – Kurdish – Arabic Federation’, it would just be "Turkey".
 
This means that a 3rd millennium multicultural Turkey, effectively readjusting values and principles, and adequately entering the Middle East as the first Modern, Global, Multicultural State in the region, would be able to offer Ataturk’s emblem ‘Peace at Home and Peace in the World’ to a wide number of populations engulfed in misery, ignorance, fanaticism, poverty, lack of identity, false identity (projected on them by the colonial Freemasonic apostles of the French and British Orientalism), hatred, fratricidal strives, and tyrannical rule.
 
A multicultural Turkey could span throughout the Ottoman imperial territory and even beyond, in Asia. This would not mean that Turkey turns to a sort of Pan-Ottomanism of the latter day! On the contrary, it would be Turkish Enlightenment diffused throughout the Ottoman Empire; it would look as completion of Kemal Ataturk’s work over the entire surface of the Ottoman Empire.
 
It is within this context that today Turkey should approach the ‘Kurdish’ issue; the moment Aramaeans, Zaza, Azeris, and Caucasians are given the right to bilingual Primary and Secondary Education, the right to bilingual mass media, and the right to publish books in their language too, the 'Kurdish' terrorism will be an alien plant on the Turkish soil. When the Zazaki and Dersimki speaking Turks will have the possibility to freely revere their linguistic – cultural heritage, the terrible conspiracy of shaping a cruel 'Kurdistan' (geared also against the Zazaki and Dersimki speaking Turks) would collapse.
 
Along with all the aforementioned, the Kurmanji speaking Turks must be given similar rights. A young class of Kurmanji speaking Turks must be formed (and the same for all the rest) to better integrate within the state, the army, the administration, the universities, the market. This will bring about the end of the Anti-Turkish conspiracy.
 
It is basically a matter of integration within a multicultural state. When Sharaf nameh (the Kurmanji epics) along with Nezami’s Iskander Nameh, the Seljuk Nameh of Ibn Bibi, Tatian’s Diatessaron Gospel, the Pentateuch commentary by Ephrem Syrus, Strabo’s Geography, Jelaleddin Rumi’s Mathnawi, the exegetical works of Basil of Caesarea, the Chronographia of Michael Psellos, the Mithraic Hymns of Commagene, Tabari, the Astro-symbolic texts of the Sabians of Eski Sumatar, the Divam of Ashik Pasha, the Pre-Socratic philosophers, the Hittite Epics, Homer, the Revelation, and the Coran find their equal position in a multicultural educational syllabus in Turkey, all efforts to produce secessionist movements in Turkey will have an end.
 
The concern for all the different ethno-linguistic backgrounds is vital for Turkey’s future; but the effort does not end there. As Gen. Saygun specified, there are some European countries, which persistently pursue anti-Turkish policies that preponderantly and not exclusively focus of the issue of ‘Kurdistan’. Turkey failed utterly to analyze the event, and take proper action. 
Turkey’s Only Mistake
 
One could describe the situation as Turkey’s only mistake. As a matter of fact, when in the aftermath of WW I, the Ottoman Empire was dismembered by the Anglo-French nucleus of the Entente, Turkey was formed under the guidance of Kemal Ataturk. Following the wars with the Greeks in Izmir, the Italians in Antalya, and the French in Maras and Gaziantep, Turkey was pacified, and after the exchange of populations with Greece, the entire country was deeply involved in rehabilitation and modernization processes. The fact that Turkey was absorbed within new spheres of dynamics triggered normally a disregard for the past; by this, I mean the very recent past, the last 125 years of Ottoman dismemberment.
 
This was a very great mistake of the Turkish academic, intellectual and political elite. There is a second reason (beyond the aforementioned focus on progress and innovation that had monopolized the governmental concern); the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire was viewed as part of the Ottoman decadence that had started earlier. In Modern Turkey, it was correctly assessed that the turning point for the decadence of the Islamic Civilization and the beginning of the end of the Ottoman Empire was the destruction of the Istanbul Observatory (1580) by fanaticized masses and followers of the lethally anti-Islamic and utterly anti-human doctrines of Hanbal and Ibn Taimiya.
 
However, there has been a precipitating factor that intended to gain as maximum profit as possible from the gradual collapse of the Ottoman Empire. This factor was not new in the wider area of the Middle East that had meanwhile become part of the Ottoman Empire. Part of the Western Crusaders, who had abandoned a ruined Middle East, consisted of the Knights Templar. They were the friendlier to the Muslims, particularly some Shia (Ismailiyah) orders; the Knights Templar were the last to leave the last Frankish portion of controlled Islamic land (a tiny Syrian island, 1302) and they were severely decimated by the Pope soon afterwards (1307 – 1312).
 
The survivors of the Knights Templar gave birth to a series of societies last of which have been the various orders of Modern Freemasonry. The contacts between some descendants of the Knights Templar and the Islamic World have been greatly limited but never ceased. Yet, major changes have occurred within the anti-Catholic part of the European establishments; they affected its theoretical and spiritual originality greatly. When Napoleon arrived in Egypt, the Ottoman establishment could not imagine that the target was not the Pyramids, not the survival of the Caliphate, not the presence of Islam, but the very existence of the Humanity as Mankind has been identified as the Realm of the Penitent, the Pious and the Righteous through many millennia.
 
Today, Turkey is constrained to realize that there are two European countries, which are totally controlled by an Apostate Freemasonic Lodge that is determined to destroy Turkey in the same way it destroyed the Ottoman Caliphate. As the Sultans were brought to knees through successive dismemberment that was fallaciously announced as bringing forth a non-existent nation, the ‘Arabs’, so the Turkish Secular establishment is targeted through evocation of a biased, non existent nation, the ‘Kurds’. This time, this Freemasonic fabrication will be the last, as following a re-arrangement of the present Middle Eastern map, a fabricated pacifier will be greatly promoted by the Anti-Turkish establishment as the new ruler of the Middle East.
 
However, he will not be either a real Crusader or an authentic Templar. His will be a vicious interpretation of Biblical texts, and he will identify Turkey, Russia and Iran as the evil. But the only evil involved will be the transfer of evil power from the Apostate Freemasonic Lodge to her portentous son. We will focus on the Anti-Turkish policy of France and on the urgently needed proper action against it in a forthcoming article.
