Iraq: Turkmen Denounce the Replacement of Saddam Hussein by Al Qaeda Terrorists Barzani, Talabani

Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The prevailing chaotic situation in North Iraq turns Aramaean Christians to a massive exodus, threatens Yazidis and Shabak with extinction, and poses serious problem to millions of Turkmen citizens who claim secession and independence from Iraq.

The setup of terrorist gangs claiming to belong in a non-existent nation, called "Kurds", is at the basis of all the troubles we attest today in North Iraq and all the disasters we will see tomorrow in the wider region of the Middle East.

Besotted by the Western mass media that function under total Freemasonic control, the Western populations have been deceived as regards the rise of the terrorism phenomenon in the Middle East; this proved to be the project that the US, UK, French and Israeli carried out in the area over the past decades.

Similarly cheated about the so-called nation of Kurds, people in the West will discover themselves in a lunar space if the present chaos in North does not take an immediate end, and all the Kurdish groups are not effectively, completely and irreversibly disarmed.

The situation in North Iraq threatens in fact every person on earth. There has never been a Kurdish nation; the various ethnic and religious groups labeled by the Freemasonic academia of the West as such will be engaged in fierce "fratricide" wars within a so-called independent Kurdistan. The proof of the inexistence of the Kurdish nation will then be complete but the crisis uncontainable.

I will further expand in a forthcoming article; herewith, I republish two articles elaborated by Turkmen authors who shed light on the tragic situation that was formed in North Iraq following the US intervention, but never presented to Western audiences by the fallacious "free" mass media of Europe and America.

What the Haunting Massacre Brought

By/Ziyat Köprülü

http://www.turkmen.nl/1A_Others/ZK.07.09.doc

50 years before, in the middle of the burning heat of July, the Iraqi Turks faced on the 14th of the month a vicious massacre that was named and known as "the Dark July" thereafter whose marks have never diminished. This incident has been denoted as a disgraceful mark and a shameful picture in the history of humanity under the name of "Kirkuk Incident".

This slaughter committed five decades ago fearlessly is not the first murder and the first massacre carried out against the Iraqi Turks. Yet, it is one of the main parts of the chain of massacres that were perpetrated before and after against this community.

We, the Iraqi Turks, learned about these murders committed against our society in the last five decades from our fathers like an incident or even like a fairy tale and passed them on to our new generations. As a matter of fact, I believe it is necessary to consider what political, social, cultural and economic harm and damage such disasters have caused in the society´s relations in this 21st century during which people´s perception and understanding have changed. While hoping that not only Turkmens, but also no other community will undergo such brutality, I believe it is also necessary to examine deeply what gains and losses have been brought by the actions in Iraq. I even would like to underline that we have been left quite late in doing this and it is essential that our intellectuals start to examine this subject immediately. It is also very important that Kurds and Arabs also deal with this issue seriously.

We have to look back in history in order to be able to conceive all these clearly. This is why it makes it really important for one to know the history well and correctly. History known correctly lays the basis for accurate assessments. As this article focuses on the Kirkuk Massacre, we will refer to the post republican period in Iraq and make our assessments in that regard.

Nadhim Tabakchali, who was assigned as the commander of second Division in Kirkuk right after the revolution in 1958 and republic was declared, notes in his memoirs published subsequently that he had attached great importance to the brotherhood among the ethnic elements in Kirkuk. The reports that Tabakchali sent to the President of the time Abdul Karim Qasim and to military intelligence, which were later published, also prove that he had felt things earlier. He perceived some of problems we are fighting today 50 years ago and exposed them clearly in his reports. Briefly, developments before the massacre were clear signs that there were some preparations politically behind the scenes. The arrest and execution of Tabakchali, appointment of a communist officer Dawood Al-Janabi to this position, start of the arrests and exiles of Turkmens, ban on their language, stopping publications like Al-Beshir Newspaper and imprisonment and sending its staff to exile, appointment of people with grudge and prejudice as the Mayor of Kirkuk and to other important and sensitive offices were all indicators of certain impending developments.

While preparations were taking place to celebrate the first anniversary of the republic on July 14, 1959, the intentions in bringing several arms and foreign elements into Kirkuk, as it is the case today, could only be understood on the day the massacre was carried out. How this inhumane incident took place and developed has been depicted in various books and articles in detail on every anniversary on July 14.

The chain of massacres committed against Turkmens in Iraq not only has exposed certain realities, but also has had negative repercussions on the Iraqi people at large, particularly on Turkmens. These facts and their influence can be listed as:

It will be possible neither to terminate a community with any method nor to deny it. There have been efforts since the withdrawal of Ottomans from the region to terminate the Iraqi Turks through various conspiracies and to deny them. However, after 80 years, Iraqi Kurds stand intact with their religion, language, culture, customs, and tradition.

Unclaimed communities that feel no power and support behind their backs cannot be terminated psychically. However, they are condemned to be oppressed and despised. Regrettably, Iraqi Turks encountered this very fact.

The decisions made by some sadistic politicians of the time without vision have affected both societies negatively. It is seen that these marks have not been erased; what is more, they have also continued until today by passing on from one generation to another. This has by all means affected and continues to have negative effects on the relations among the people living in the region.

Such incidents realized by both the governments and by foreign forces that cooperated with certain elements and groups in Iraq have been able to suppress people for some time. But they increased the grudge and hatred felt against the ones that implemented it; moreover they left memories and negative marks in the memories that cannot be removed for centuries. These negative marks have amassed and became distinct in the subconscious of the society, which later on, on appropriate grounds, showed itself overwhelmingly, like an earthquake or a blast. All incidents that occur in Iraq today and are not approved by any religion and belief set examples to such exposures.

Seeds of grudge and hatred have tied the hands of the politicians in Iraq. As a result of the incidents, communities became enemies to each other. The politicians who seek for a compromise with good will and rely on the idea that no community that lives side to side in a geographical territory for centuries can leave its region and all they have in masses have also been rendered imprudent by this grudge and hatred. Additionally, their ability and room to maneuver on the way to solution have been narrowed. This has caused the lack of a solution to continue.

Let´s rewind this film. How the social and economic life would have progressed in Iraq if various governments had not tried to assimilate the communities living in Iraq, if these communities had not been tooled and provoked against each other, and no such incidents had occurred?

Now. I am asking: despite all these, who will return to the Iraqi Turks and all other societies living in Iraq what they have lost…?

Drawing lessons from such massacres, peoples of Iraq should try to be commonsensical in order to make their future happier and more promising. We want no more widowed mothers, orphaned children… It is known that the ones that die for their country and nation are laid in heaven. The ones we lost in Kirkuk massacre were martyred and reached the divine heaven.

The reality of the Kurdish violence in Kirkuk

Liability of the West for Kurdish arrogance against Iraqi Turkmen in confiscating Kerkuk

By Professor Ayoub Bazzaz (NGO)

http://www.turkmen.nl/1A_Others/ayoub1.pdf

Upon both Historical and geographical scales, the city of Kerkuk has always, internationally and nationally, been documented as a Turkmen land (Turkmeneli) even by British historians. The Turkmeneli is a diagonal strip of lands, sticks to Southern Turkey and Eastern Syrian and stretch around Telafer in the Northwest of Iraq down to the town of Mandeli of the Iranian border in Central Iraq. The history backdates the origin of the Iraqi Turkmen to 570AC when the Turks from central Asia embraced Islamic religion, settled in the Middle east and eventually within. Their settlement in Turkmeneli encountered three successive and consecutive migrations waves from Southern Europe in addition to Central Asia, which increased their numbers and enabled them to establish six states in Iraq. In March 1970 the city of Erbil, mainly dominated by the Turkmen, was donated by the Ba´ath regime to the Kurdish leaders, as a bribe, to put an end to their barbarian aggression against the Iraqi army. The historical documents do also confirm that the Kurdish armed offences against Ottoman Empire and to all successive Iraqi and Turkish Governments (Turkey) are all being backed up by the British Governments. The latter had promised the Kurdish leaders to help them in establishing a national state in the area via their unstopped armed opposition in destabilising the local Governments, particularly, Iraq. The current double unlimited support of British and USA towards Kurdish separatist leaders is extra solid evidence in accusing both in their involvement to divide Iraq and drawing it into a civil war. The current security status of Turkmen in their occupied city, Kerkuk is so critical and could worsen if Kurdish strategy is not stopped in humiliating the endogenous Turkmen.


While origin of the Turkmen in Iraq backdate to the sixth century, the Kurdish tribes immigrated to Northern Iraq following their slash out of Iran during late nineteenth century by the early Persian King due to their restless behaviour and endless violence, armed troubles and aggression against Persian Monarchy. Last deportation of Kurds was in 1946 when the Kurdish terrorist-leader Mustafa Barzani (held spy code 145 at KGB) had established a subtle Government in Mehabad, the Western Iran which lasted a few days only before he managed to vanish to USSR. The latter returned to Iraq in October 1958 upon a call by General Kassim as the Kurdish aggression resumed against Kerkuk and Mosul cities but has never stopped.

The suffer of Kerkuk continued as the racial Arabization policy was implemented by the previous Iraqi regime in the early seventies against Turkmen by importing over ten thousand illiterate Arabic families from the Southern Iraq to Kerkuk. The intension clearly was to Arabise Kerkuk via increasing Arab´s proportion as a counter policy against the racial interest of Kurds in this Turkmen city.

Kerkuk has never been a part of Kurdistan as they claim following failure to convince the West of its Kurdish identity. The current fascist Kurdification policy implemented by both Kurdish parties since American invasion to Iraq in April 2003 had awfully changed the demography of Kerkuk city with bless of the West and USA. Since then almost a million illiterate Kurds were imported to Kerkuk, who have never seen Kerkuk before, in order to change the ethnic proportion of this Turkmen city to favour the Kurds with overwhelming of Israel too. This Kurdification policy in Kerkuk is still in place to completely Kurdify the city despite the reluctance of Turkmen and Turkey. Their intention clearly is to complete changing the demography prior any census and/or referendum. Kurdish militia (Peshmerga) are also preparing for a civil war against Turkmen and to forcefully confiscate Kerkuk. Such a racial policy is similar to problematic Zionist in mid forties when the West deported them out of European countries to be accommodated remote in Palestine who soon took over the Palestinian government via a fixed referendum in 1947 to establish Israel. The Western intension to establish a Kurdish estate by dividing Iraq, likewise Israel, will never solve nor satisfy their demands anyway. In fact, their history confirms the no-limit for their ambitions and could cause further troubles to Iraqis and the surrounding peoples never mind the West. They could also soon and easily then after change their loyalty against the West once they have completed taking advantage of current Western support.

The Kurdification policy had began in fifties as those illiterate Kurds crept into Kerkuk during night darkness from the suburban of the Northern Iraq and Western Iran as beggars, initially, then as street sweeper and bin men, shepherds and shoe polishers to settle in Kerkuk. The Arabic farmers were hired by Turkmen masters from nearby Haweeja village (20 Km southwest Kerkuk) to work in their farms on daily wages. Initially, Turkmen, the original inhabitants, did not realise the political agenda behind the interests of both Kurds and Arabs in Kerkuk and their future intention in changing its demography. Apparently, both Kurdish and Arabic settlers weren´t for economical but for political reasons. The competition between these two contradicting ethnics grew up parallel to hatred in their battle to ethnically dominate the city while the Turkmen who rendered sandwiched in between, became victimised by both.

The racial Kurdish agenda was clearly unmasked in March and July 1959 when the Kurdish traitor and the most communist barbarian Kurdish militia led by Jalal Talabnai, the current president of Iraq, committed a massacre of the innocent Turkmens in Kerkuk following similar mass killings in Mosul province.

Over sixty helpless men and women and children were hanged by ropes to Electric posts and trees while others were towed by ropes behind cars through Kerkuk streets to terrify Turkmen and disperse them immigrate to other cities. Over forty Turkmen scholars were assassinated since USA invasion within Turkmeneli in the presence and with bless of USA administration without any investigation. Some were assassinated during day light using silencers, member of families were arrested and disappeared from the over ground to an unknown fate. The families of those Turkmen children who disappear receive a call from anonymous Kurds, by Kurdish militia or by Asayish (The Kurdish security force) to pay a ransom otherwise their children will be killed. Arbitrary arrests are in place on daily basis to terrify the Turkmen to disperse them away unless they admit the Kurdish identity of Kerkuk. The Kurdification of Kerkuk continues in various ways while the hands of unarmed Turkmen political parties are tight due to the suppression they are under which render them powerless. The Turkmen feel proud of their ethnic and refuse to live under the control of Kurdish leaders and are so reluctant to have their lands be stitched to the so called Kurdistan.

The most opportunist Kurdish parties, current allies of America, are still receiving a continuous and limitless overwhelming support by USA administration in the day light despite the national reluctance to their racial strategy. Misfortunately, a terrorist leader like Jalal Talabani has been rewarded the top of Iraqi Government hierarchy by the West and USA to rule Iraqi who is taking advantage of his position to achieve Kurdish ambitions to establish their ethnic state despite the International calls otherwise. Hundred thousands of fake asylum seekers have invaded Western countries, particularly UK and still are; most sent by the Kurdish parties to lobby their yet un-established state.

Astonishingly, their settlement has been eased by the authorities despite full awareness of their fake stories. All are severely affecting British economy via claiming benefit while working in day light without punishments. It apparent that the Kurds had really succeeded in misleading the West of their suffers over the past years via magnifying their victims and showing themselves as scapegoat while they always were the renitent and still are against all the Iraqi Governments and the Iraqi people. Unfortunately, the Western Governments believed so easily in exaggerated numbers of Kurdish victims of 1988 and their destroyed villages in Iraq without investigations. The limitless European support towards these dodgy asylum seekers, therefore, has no logic ground unless these governments are preparing them for the future of their new state by clearly backing them up to divide both Iraq and Turkey to achieve their political goals.

Abide the origin of Turkmen in Iraq precedes almost 800 years before the conquest of the Ottoman Empire to all the Middle East, Northern Africa and some Southern parts of Europe, that lasted 5 centuries when the USA and some Western countries were in deep dormant. Since the establishment of first Iraq Monarchy in 1921 [3 years after the defeat of Ottoman Empire in WW-1 (1918)]both Kerkuk and its majority Turkmen were targeted by successive pro-western Iraqi Governments to suppress their human rights as a revenge from Ottoman Empire. Western Governments have never stopped neglecting the Iraqi Turkmen despite the severe suppression that Turkmen have undergone by the successive Iraqi Governments, Arab invaders and current Kurdish occupation. The infrastructure of Kerkuk city has totally been destroyed by the new Kurdish settlers being brought by Kurdish parties from three neighbourhood countries.

The UN, in turn, does also enjoy watching these offences against the man kind in Kerkuk without any action. The neglected Iraqi Turkmen had suffered a big deal 90 years and cannot tolerate further damage by Kurdish armed invasion to their lands. It therefore is so unfair to Turkmen paying the bill on behalf of Ottoman Empire in their own lands to Western countries and USA as a late revenge. Their lives are under an extreme threat and they really are sustaining a slow mode assassination or in a cold war style, that is absolutely an inhumane.

The Turkmen still continue undergoing the displacement, suppression, humiliation, ethnic cleansing, discrimination by Kurdish political parties under almost a complete ignorance of the world? Several reports have been compiled by the Turkmen civil right organisation which clearly indicates that Turkmen youngsters have been kidnapped, tortured, sexually abused, raped by Asayish. These are available for submission to UN and other human right organizations to reveal what is happening in the city of Kerkuk with or without Western knowledge. The Kurdish party leaders have already exceeded their red line due to the limitless support of the West and USA. Mr Masud Barzani, in turn, has really scored an international record as traitor with his selfishness and arrogance attitudes and is really endangering the whole Iraq and the surrounding countries as well as his father, Mustafa Barzani. What kind of contradiction is it that the Western Governments claiming the human rights of minorities while fuelling the ethnic cleansing against Turkmen by the Kurdish invaders?! When would the Western countries admit their big mistake in supporting the Kurdish terrorists who have a really bloody history which proved to have never had loyalty to nobody? When would the West wake up and be objective, at least once, with its own humanitarian concepts to start defending the humankind fairly everywhere?

Unless these democratic-claimant countries rectify their double standard sly policy to protect Iraqi Turkmen from such Kurdish offences their democracy will remain dubious to the world.
