I say beware waving a red flag at a bullBülent Ecevit was Prime Minister of Turkey and Ahmet Necdet Sezer was President on
3 August 2002When Turkey announced it ha abolished the death penalty as part of a raft of reforms aimed at preparing the country for European Union membership
We should
ALL bear in mind that the
GREAT GOD ERDOGAN is now in control
Erdogan did try using Ocalan to further Turkey's application to the EU but many people realized what was happening
Reminder:Erdogan needed to subdue the Kurds in order to further Turkey's EU application
The changes EU required were passed via Ocalan purporting to be Ocalan's road map for peace
However, anyone reading the demands of the EU would easily have spotted the similarities
Sadly, Ocalan was used and through him the Kurds were further subjugated without entirely realizing what was happening to them
Ocalan:Charismatic leader and figurehead of PKK
15 years imprisoned in Syria - several different versions of how well he was treated during his incarceration
Many Kurdish freedom fighters, from both Syria and Turkey, were also imprisoned in Syria at the same time, and many of them died in Syrian prisons
Often other Kurds seem unaware of the
THOUSANDS of Kurds from
WESTERN KURDISTAN who died fighting for freedom
I emboldened the words
WESTERN KURDISTAN because these people were
PROUD of being from Western Kurdistan -
PROUD of being part of
KURDISTAN and they wanted the entire world to know it
There was an enormous pressure on the Syrian government to execute Ocalan but faced with the possibility of thousands of angry Kurds descending on Syria, the Syrian government decided to wash their hands of Ocalan and threw him out - most of the other imprisoned Kurds were not so lucky
There were several half-hearted attempts to relocate Ocalan elsewhere but no other country wanted the responsibility or the wrath of Turkey
Eventually Ocalan was betrayed by his own people and by the time of his arrest he was an extremely confused and very sick man who would have agreed to almost anything
The
GREAT GOD ERDOGAN no longer has any need for Ocalan as he is no-longer interested in the EU, he seems to think he is above them and has argued with most of the EU countries
The situation in Turkey is now
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS World pressure is still on Erdogan to make peace with the Kurds, something he totally ignores as he destroys Kurdish land and villages
If something were to happen to Ocalan the Kurds would, finally, turn off their
TURKISH TV and fight
This may well be something many people have been hoping for for many years
BUTMillions of angry Kurds with very limited leadership - the Great God Erdogan would have the excuse he needed to send in the army and bring in even stronger laws and curfews - there would be a bloodbath
