 ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ-ΚΟΥΡΔΟΙ: Kurdish Political and Human Rights ... There is going to be no solution  if the Kurdish people's representatives will not be sitting at the talks table  on equal terms T here is one thing that certainly emerged from the meeting between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on the Kurdish issue: the two leaders think they can solve the issue by excluding the Kurds. It goes without saying that this is not only impossible, but it goes against every logic. Indeed, the PM and the opposition leader have learned nothing from conflict resolution policies around the world, from South Africa to the North of Ireland, to the Basque country, just to name the nearest in time. The very first and one lesson is that no solution is possible without the full participation on equal basis of all parties involved. Put it differently, there is going to be no solution if the Kurdish people's representatives will no

“Sooner or later, an independent Kurdistan is bound to emerge”   A fresh wave of protests shows how far Turkey is from pacifying its Kurds “FROM here on we must stop serving in the Turkish army, paying taxes and using the Turkish language. A new phase has begun.” The call for defiance came from Murat Karayilan , the top field commander of the rebel Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). He issued it after another spate of bloody clashes in the predominantly Kurdish south-east. The unrest was sparked on March 18th when, in defiance of a government ban, tens of thousands of Kurds massed in the streets of Istanbul and Diyarbakir to celebrate the Kurdish new year (Nowruz). One Kurdish politician and a Turkish policeman died, hundreds of Kurds were arrested and many others were wounded as riot police, backed by helicopters and armoured personnel-carriers fired tear gas to disperse the crowds. In Batman, Ahmet Turk, a revered Kurdish politician and a heart patient, was punched in

TURΚΕΥ:Kurdish  ...Political and Human Rights   There was havoc in Istanbul and Diyarbakır yesterday. Both cities turned into fire balls. Molotov cocktails, fires, stones, batons. Those looking from the outside thought there was a war in Turkey. Our daily life went upside down. Why? The Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) wanted to start celebrating Nevruz, a festival marking the beginning of spring, one week early, but our state said: “No, Nevruz is on March 21. You too should celebrate it on March 21. Otherwise it is forbidden.” There is no such law. There is no rule that a celebration has to be done on its exact day and no other day. Yes, the BDP had its own intention, but when the state scorned: “No, I am the state, I have a say on this and not you,” it was then that these incidents happened. For God’s sake, was it worth it? What did the state prove? Nothing was proved beyond creating an environment of war. In fact, the BDP demonstrated its

Newroz in Diyarbakır  VIDEOS Νεβροζ 2012: Η φωτιά της Ελευθερίας και του Αγώνα των Κούρδων όχι μόνο δεν σβήνει αλλά μεγαλώνει! του Σάββα Καλεντερίδη Η κυβέρνηση Ερντογάν, απαγόρευσε τον εορτασμό του Νεβρόζ στο Ντιγιαρμπακίρ και την Κωνσταντινούπολη σήμερα Κυριακή, με τη γελοία δικαιολογία ότι η γιορτή είναι στις 21 Μαρτίου και όχι στις 18. Έστειλε δεκάδες χιλιάδες αστυνομικούς στο Κουρδιστάν, συνελήφθησαν εκατοντάδες στελέχη του κουρδικού κινήματος την τελευταία εβδομάδα, έκλεισαν οι δρόμοι που οδηγούσαν από τις πόλεις και τις κωμοπόλεις προς το Ντιγιαρμπακίρ, για να εμποδίσουν την προσέλευση του κόσμου. Χιλιάδες αστυνομικοί με τεθωρακισμένα έκλεισαν όλους τους δρόμους που οδηγούσαν στην περιοχή που θα γιόρταζαν οι Κούρδοι το Νεβρόζ, τη γιορτή της Επανάστασης και της Ελευθερίας. Τελικά, ο υπερήφανος κουρδικός λαός τσάκισε την ισλαμοφασιστική προπαγάνδα της τουρκικής κυβέρνησης, εκμηδένισε τους Κούρδους που προσχώρησαν στην τουρκική εξουσ

  PKK enlarges target CEVDET AŞKIN Relatives of the 34 people who were hit and killed by F-16 planes in the southeastern province of Şırnak’s Uludere district on the night of Dec. 28, 2011, have handed in a three-page petition consisting of eight items to the Parliament’s Human Rights Commission delegation visiting the region to inspect the incident. According to Doğan News Agency ’s story dated Feb. 5, the petition said: “It is a first that at the night the incident happened, all the roads leading to Turkey were totally closed and that illuminating shells were used during the incident. There is only one route and one passage we are using in border trade with Iraq. However, at exactly point zero, there are four roads leading to Turkey. All of these roads are used for passage. However during the night of the incident, all of these roads were blocked by soldiers, our children’s passage to Turkey was not allowed. We would like to acknowledge that until the

F-16 warplanes bombed civilians last night (1) At least 35 civilians slaughtered by Turkish warplanes   Around 50 civilians, allegedly smugglers, have been killed by the bombardment of Turkish F-16 warplanes in Ortasu (Roboski) of Uludere district of Şırnak last night. Among 50 people whose ages range between 15 and 30, 36 have been confirmed dead so far. 15 others are reported missing. Relatives of victims are trying to find the scattered parts of bodies in the area. While only BDP members have arrived the village, the number of deaths is estimated to be higher. The bodies are reported to be completely burnt and unrecognizable. Some sort of chemical bombs might have been used in the assault, according to the statements of people who managed to survive. It is reported that 17 people are still missing, according to villagers statements. The names of 19 of the people slaughtered and whose bodies were found have been confirmed by villagers. The name

Τι κρύβει η Τουρκική προπαγάνδα για τον νεκρό Κούρδο Μαχητή Mensur Guzel Ο Κούρδος Μαχητής Mensur Guzel είναι αυτός που πραγματοποίησε την επί 12 ώρου πειρατεία στο τουρκικό οχηματαγωγό "Kartepe" στη Θάλασσα του Μαρμαρά.Στη θάλασσα του Μαρμαρά, αλλά όχι σε μικρή απόσταση, βρίσκεται το Ιμραλί, το νησί όπου είναι φυλακισμένος από το 1999 ο ηγέτης του ΠΚΚ, Αμντουλάχ Οτσαλάν.Ο Κούρδος Μαχητής είχε στην κατοχή του βόμβα την οποία και απειλούσε να πυροδοτήσει.Όπως αποδείχτηκε μετά την επιχείρηση των τουρκικών δυνάμεων ασφαλείας, κατά την οποία βρήκε το θάνατο, η βόμβα ήταν ψεύτικη και αποτελούνταν από ένα μηχανισμό φτιαγμένο από καλώδια και ένα μπουκάλι που έμοιαζε με βόμβα. Χτές για πρώτη φορά τα τουρκικά μέσα ενημέρωσης ισχυρίστηκαν ότι ο Κούρδος Μαχητής του PKK ήταν Αρμενικής καταγωγής καθώς το χωριό καταγωγής του Kulp (Bahêmdan) Ayhan στην περιοχή του Ντιγιαρμπακίρ μέχρι το 1915 ήταν Αρμενικό χωριό και μάλιστα αναφέρουν ότι πολλοί συγγενείς του φέρουν αρμενικά
