Unilateral Turkish Intervention in Northern Iraq, Demanded by All Local Populations

Over the past two years, I published extensively on the need for a Turkish intervention in Iraq; there are many reasons for which this development is a "Must" for the needs of the embattled and occupied country that has been the victim of English colonialism for 91 years, under various forms, involving ‘mandate’, ‘kingdom’, ‘republic’, US invasion, and thereafter the present postcolonial, puppet regime.

Here are the titles of and the links to some of my articles, in descending order:

In fact, Iraq is a fallacious state, a technical entity fabricated because of the colonial needs of England and never corresponded to the wishes and the expectations of the indigenous nations and ethno-religious groups.

The name itself is a fake, and the country had never been named ‘Iraq’ before the arrival of the English colonial gangsters. The British and French mandates over vast territories of the Middle East are an illegal, unnatural and evil development and every derived situation is to be therefore cancelled, if peace and stability are to come to the entire area, which has been peremptorily plunged into chaos, internal strife, divisions and ceaseless wars.

A comparison between the penalties administered to the Ottoman Empire and Germany, Ottoman Empire’s ally during WW I, makes the Anglo-French anti-Ottoman machination clear to every body; Germany lost Lorraine and Alsace to France, territories in the North to Denmark, and territories in the East so that Poland re-emerges again. Imperial Germany’s area totaled 540000 km2, but after the WW I defeat and related treaties, the Weimar Republic was left with an area of 468000 km2.

Contrarily, the Ottoman Empire’s area was ca. 4.5 million km2 in 1914, but after the theatrical resolution taken in unrepresentative international congresses and pseudo-treaties that have no value, Turkey was left with only 780000 km2, and this situation would have been far worse if Kemal Ataturk had not been able to organize and therefore save the nucleus of the Ottoman Empire, transforming it politically and ideologically to Turkish Republic.

This means that defeated Germany lost less than 20% of it territory, due to Anglo-French rancor, hatred and greed, whereas the Ottoman Empire lost more than 80% of its territory. This sort of differential treatment of two enemies reveals – in and by itself – a lot of hidden realities.

This situation should be immediately taken into consideration by the Turkish military, academia, businesspeople and politicians; the same Anglo-French evilness that was expressed against the Ottoman Empire since 1798 is about to be manifested again – this time under another mask.

In the same way a fake nation, the ‘Arabs’, was created gradually (between 1798 and 1920), so that African and Asiatic territories inhabited by different non-Arabic peoples (Berbers, Copts, Kushites, Yemenites and Aramaeans) be detached from the Ottoman Empire and colonially controlled, today another fake nation is being created, the so-called Kurds, only to plunge the Freemasonic-programmed ‘Kurdistan’ and all the adjacent lands into a maelstrom of destruction.

The time for Turkey to intervene in Iraq is now; with America plunged into an economic chaos (in its first stage only!) that will drive the former ‘only superpower’ to economic ruin, political isolation and social introspection, with Europe unable to agree on the military and foreign policy levels, with Russia and China approving of anything that would minimize the US presence in the Middle East, Turkey’s time is Now!

The only to react against the Turkish army in Northern Iraq will be the PKK terrorists, and the two pseudo-Kurdish groups (those of Talabani and Barzani) who tyrannize the outright majority of the local population in Northern Mesopotamia.

My viewpoint is shared by numerous activists and intellectuals originating among the ‘Kurdish’-terrorized populations of Northern ‘Iraq’. I republish here the first part of an insightful presentation made by the Chairman of SOITM within the context of a conference organized by the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Islam (MOI) in Utrecht University. In a forthcoming article, I will complete the republication of the presentation that so clearly highlights the local populations’ desire to get rid of the Freemasonic-promoted "Kurdish" fallacy that spreads chaos and death among innocent Christians, Muslims and Yazidis.

The North of Iraq - Possible Turkish Invasion: Is it Threatening to the Stability in Iraq?
SOITM Presentation

Organized by the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Islam (MOI) in Utrecht University at 12 December, 2007

I would like to thank the Association for the study of the Middle East and Islam for organizing such an important conference.

The north of Iraq can be divided into two regions, the eastern region which is under Kurdish administration and the western region which is under the control of Iraqi government. The two regions have almost the same area and both regions have a mixed population. In the west the Sunni Arabs are the majority, the Kurds are in the east, a significant number of Turkmen, Assyrians, Shabaks and Yazidies are found in both regions. Because the Kurdish regional authorities and the PKK, which are established in the east, are directly involved in the present problems with Turkey, I shall concentrate on the north eastern Kurdish region of Iraq. I shall discuss in details the stability and possible Turkish intervention.

Stability means an improved sustained situation, of which the major indicators are the security, political and economic stability.

The administration systems are considered the skeleton of a country. It has comprehensive influence on the stability. The well developed security and military administration stabilize the security. Democratic measures and rule of Law stabilize the policy. Economic developments are influenced obviously by the qualified administrative units.

Dissolution of the whole administrative systems and sectarianism are considered the two major causes of the instability in occupied Iraq. The huge numbers of the substituted appointees after occupation are inexperienced and even disqualified, this has disturbed the services in governmental and municipality offices and paralyzed the economy. The sectarianism policy of the occupation brought the political destabilization which influenced negatively both the security and economic stabilities. The insurgency which is an outcome of the political instability hugely distorts the security and economical stability.

Kurdish Region

Several factors contributed in improving the administration systems of the Kurdish region which resulted in the relatively improvement of the stability there, such as:

- Formation of the ‘safe haven’ in 1991 gave a golden opportunity to establish the administration units.

- The involvement of the international community with the developments in the Kurdish region since 1991 brought an important financial and political support.

- The relatively homogenous population composition of the region

- The non-Kurdish communities in Kurdish regions are unarmed.

- Cooperation of the Kurdish authorities with occupation.

Despite these important advantages, the security is fragile in Kurdish region and the political and economic stabilities are insufficient.

Security

Security in the Kurdish region can be discussed under two topics, the intra-regional and extra-regional threats. The intra-regional threats are simple and almost under control, they are the extremist Kurdish Religious insurgents - who killed Fransu Hariri in 2001 - and those who are invading from other Iraqi regions. The legal Islamic groups are integrated into the political system, but they are still demanding the adoption of Shari‘a law. The Kurdish region has also been infiltrated by foreign intelligence services, which trace their opponents. Al-Qaida maintains a presence in the region and there is some evidence that it is increasingly targeting the region.1

Kurdish unity can be attributed to the security in the region, but this unity between the two major Kurdish parties, KDP and KUP, has been established only recently, in fact the agreement to establish a shared government has been realized only about two years ago. Furthermore, the long history of animosity and fierce battles between these two parties has cost thousands of lives and the difficulties in maintaining their cooperation remain.

Two important extra-regional threats in the Kurdish regions are: the PKK and the troubled situation in the vast border region, which the Kurdish authorities frequently threaten to occupy if needed. These regions are Mosul, Kerkuk and the lands situated on the long border from Tuz Khurmatu to Badra.

Mosul is a city of more than one million predominantly Arab inhabitants. They are known for their nationalist conservative nature and for their keenness to enroll in the former Iraqi army. The insurgency dominates the city. Almost all the Kurdish families which are estimated to be thousands ran out of the city after the occupation. On 1st December 2007, fifteen members of the Iraqi Parliament from Mosul published a press release which2 accused the Kurdish Democratic Party of :

- Dominating the administration after the January election when the Arabs almost completely boycotted the election.

- Dominating the national guards and security system

- Robbing the city while the authority of central government is completely absent.

The Mosul parliamentarians requested:

- Termination of the unfair applications of article 140

- Taking the national guards and Kurdish security agents out of the city

- Returning the prisoners from Kurdish prisons.

- Canceling the oil agreements which were made by the KDP in Mosul province

- Termination of the Kurdification processes in the education directorate and system

- Abandoning the hoisting of Kurdish flags in the province.

The other border region which threatens the stability in the Kurdish region is Kerkuk, which the Kurdish authorities threatened to occupy if the referendum is not realized. Kerkuk region is already unstable, the bombings in the city increase proportionally with Kurdish authorities declarations to annex the city. The assassinations, kidnappings and intimidations displaced tens of thousands of Turkmen and Arabs. Both the Arabs and the Turkmen are determinedly opposing the Kurdish attempts.

A great number of the small and large cities on the long border between Kurdish region and other Iraqi provinces from Tuz Khurmatu to Badra are inhabited by mixed Arab, Turkmen and Kurdish populations. As in Mosul, the Kurds are dominating the administration and fierce quarrels are expected if article 140 is implemented.

Political Stability

If the ultimate goal for Iraq is to be governed by a democratic system, then the spread of democratic culture should be the major purpose of the international powers dealing with the region. Accordingly, the adoption of the rule of law and Human Rights principles will no doubt help in bringing political stability. Unfortunately, the occupation have adopted a completely contradictory policy in Iraq, they have consciously introduced sectarian and ethnic sentiments into the Iraqi community. The Kurdish authorities were supported to strengthen the Kurdish regional administration, suppress the Turkmen, Chealdo-Assyrians, Shabaks and other smaller communities. They were also allowed to dominate some important Sunni Arab regions as Mosul city. With the Shiite dominating government and National Guard, which constituted mainly Kurdish Pashmarga and Shiite Badr Brigade, the Americans destroyed the major Sunni cities in Anbar, Falluja, Telafer and a large number of districts in the west of Iraq. This can be considered the major reason of the sectarian violence in Iraq.

To study the political stability in the Kurdish region, the following headings should be discussed:

- Democratization, rule of law and respect of the Human Rights

- Minority rights

- Integration with the Iraqi government

- Election in the Kurdish region

Under the pressure of the protecting countries of the ‘Safe Haven’, the two rival Kurdish parties organized the only election in 1992. The instituted parliament remained non-functioning and a brutal civil war took place between the two Kurdish parties in 1994 killing and displacing thousands of Kurds. The Kurdish region remained partitioned between the two parties, each with its own administration and government.

Party Structure and the Administration in the Kurdish Region

The administration systems in the Kurdish parties are built on the tribal approach. The members are appointed, no regular congresses are held and no elections are done. The first degree relatives, sons, brothers, nephews, uncles hold the top posts in the parties and government and they possess the key resources of economy. Other relatives hold key positions in ministries or executive offices. They control telecommunications, construction and trade. The opposition is almost absent. The constitution of the Kurdish region has been recently approved and the Iraqi constitution is not respected.

The legal system is designed according to undemocratic principles. Besides the regular courts, there are another four militia, political and tribal courts. The sentences of regular courts can be annulled by other courts. Corruption is endemic, detention without trial and torture is widely and systematically applied.3 the prisoners are not given any written papers on the accusations. Most of the civil student unions and society organizations are administered by politicians or government staffs. The media avoid publication of criticizing or protesting articles to escape the punishments. As in the period preceding the occupation of Iraq, public properties are confiscated and the Barzani and Talabani families made priceless real estate.4

Despite the hegemony of the administration, several massive demonstrations have been organized in different cities in the Kurdish region. The demonstrators were attacked, killed, injured and arrested.

Ms. Judit Neurink, a Dutch journalist visited north of Iraq several times and each time she remained there several weeks to organize courses for the Kurdish journalists. She says in her article "Another copy of Saddam Regime" that the Kurdish authorities are similar to Saddam regime and that there is not much difference in the administration of the Kurdish region between pre and post occupation. She mentions that the Political parties control all the components of the society, only the party members are appointed in the government, the government has one million staffs, those who work for government receives other privileges too, and the power of the parties is observable everywhere.3

Ms. Neurink argues that the social modernization is very sluggish and that traditionalism is still preferred to the democratic culture in the region. The education not modernized.
