Turkey Launches War On Islamic State’s Worst Enemies – The Kurds ― Erdogan belongs to NWO/ Lunatic American policies
This article explains Turkish position and
U.S. stance on the Islamic State in an easy-to-understand manner. According to
the article, Erdogan’s ambition is to expand territory in the war on Syria and become
the almighty president over a larger, Ottoman Turkey. However, Kurds support
the Assad regime and Turkey has now “reopened its war on the PKK Kurds” in Turkey.
It seems that they ostensibly pretend to carry out air strikes on the
strongpoint of ISIS and they actually intend to attack Kurds.
It seems that Turkish police have already conducted
mass arrests of Kurdish activists. This clearly shows that Erdogan belongs to
the NWO (New World Order).
As for the U.S., the latter half of the
article describes that the U.S. adops lunatic policies; they treat the Kurdistan
Workers’ Party (PKK)as terrorist organization and give air support to the Kurdish
People’s Protection Unit (YGP) though the two are essentially the same.
Given this situation, the U.S. seems to
intend to prolong war by backing up one in a disadvantaged position, while
giving support to both of so-called foe and friend. This undoubtedly enables
the arms industry to get money. It is said that in Ukraine, employees of
Vanguard provided fake dollar bills to the Kiev administration and pro-Russian
rebels. When the pro-Russian rebels demonstrate overwhelming lead, the U.S. forces
support the Ukrainian forces and train them. They seem to do the same thing
after all.

Turkey Launches War On Islamic State’s
Worst Enemies – The Kurds
By Moon Of Alabama on July 25, 2015
Since
2013 a ceasefire between the state of Turkey and Kurdish PKK rebels in
south-east Turkey held up well. The government
pledged some support for Kurdish cultural autonomy and in return the
ruling AK Party gained votes from parts of the Kurdish
constituency. The AKP government also has good relations with the Kurds in
north Iraq. It buys oil from the Kurdish regional government and
supports the kleptocracy of the ruling Barzani clan in that autonomous Iraqi
region.
The PKK
is a militant Kurdish organization in Turkey. The equivalent in Syria is known
as YPG. In Iran the group is called PJAK and in Iraq HPG. The
HDP party in Turkey is the political arm of the PKK. The PYD is the political
arm of the Syrian YPG. All these are essentially the same egalitarian, secular
marxist/anarchist organization striving for Kurdish autonomy or independence.
Turkey
has now reopened its war on the PKK Kurds in Turkey, Iraq and in Syria. Turkish
police rounded up hundreds of Kurdish activists in Turkey and
tonight dozens of Turkish fighter planes attacked PKK positions
in Syria and Iraq. This war is likely to escalate and will be
long and bloody. It will be mostly fought on Turkish ground. How did it come to
this?
The war
on Syria and support by Turkey for even the most radical islamists
fighting the Syrian government changed the relations with the Kurds. It is
undeniable that Turkey not only supports the
Free Syrian Army but also the Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra and the
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Turkey is the transit country for
international suicide bomber candidates joining these organizations. Weapons,
ammunition and other goods are smuggled into Syria with the help of the Turkish
secret services and the Islamic State exports oil to Turkey. The Islamic State
is recruiting in
Turkey and is believed to have many sleeper cells throughout the country.
When the
Islamic State attacked Kurdish positions in Kobane in north Syria the U.S.
intervened on the side of the Kurds. Turkey was miffed and at first blocked all
support. The Kurds in Kobane are, like the Kurdish rebels in
Turkey, organized in the PKK/YPG. They want an continuous autonomous region in
north Syria connecting all Kurdish enclaves along the Turkish Syrian border.
Ankara
fears that such a region could be joined by the Kurdish areas in south-east
Turkey. This would be a threat to the Turkish state. Turkey
wants to gain land in the war on Syria not lose any. Idleb and Aleppo in Syria
and Mosul in Iraq are regions that Erdogan would like to add to his realm.
As the
Kurds in Syria as well as Iraq had some success in fighting against the Islamic
State and increased their territories the Turkish AKP government saw its plans
in shambles. Additionally the AKP lost in the recent elections in
Turkey while the Kurdish HDP party, for the first time in its
history, joined the Turkish parliament. Without a solid parliamentary
majority Erdogan's plan of becoming the almighty president over a larger, Ottoman
Turkey is finished.
To change
the situation Erdogan decided to reopen the war against the Kurds under the
disguise of joining the U.S. war against the Islamic State.
On July
20 a bomb exploded during a meeting of young socialist Kurds in the southern
border town of Suruç. Some thirty people were killed and over a hundred
wounded. Turkey immediately attributed the attack to the Islamic State but IS
never claimed the attack. The Kurdish PKK immediately blamed the Turkish state
and accused it of collusion with the Islamic State. The next day the PKK killed
two Turkish police officers in revenge for the bombing.
Last year
secret audio tapes
leaked of conversations between the Turkish prime
minister and the head if the Turkish secret service. They
planned a false flag attack against Turkish targets as a pretext to invade
Syria. The PKK assumption that Turkey colluded with the Islamic
State to attack Kurds in Turkey is thereby quite plausible. The claimed
"intelligence failure" that allowed the attack seems to be a mere
smoke screen. The attack gives Turkey a public relation talking point that
it is fighting the Islamic State while in reality
Turkey is attacking those Kurds who are fighting the Islamic State.
On
Wednesday Turkish police raided hundreds of homes all over the country. The
mass arrests was sold as an action against Islamic State fighters. But beside
a few well known IS functionaries hundreds of Kurdish activists and
leftists politicians were taken into
custody. Demonstrations and riots by Kurds in Istanbul and other
cities increased. Today Turkish courts banned Kurdish news agencies and media.
Turkish media and the Internet in Turkey are again partially censored.
Why
would Erdogan now launch a war against the Kurds? What are his aims? These come
to mind:
- Prevent the unification
of Kurdish cantons in north Syria which the Islamic State lost after the
Kurdish offensive.
- Maintain secure supply
routes to AlQaeda, the Islamic State and other anti-Syrian groups with the
long term aim of incorporating north Syria into Turkey.
- Rally nationalist for a
new round of elections to Erdogan's side. Shut out the HDP from the next
election to again win an outright AKP majority.
- Gain support from the
Turkish army which is a political opponent of Erdogan but sees the bigger
danger in a possible Kurdish autonomy.
Yesterday
the Turkish government announced that it would open the Incirlik air base for
U.S. attack flights against the Islamic State. It also claimed
that the U.S. had agreed to set up a no-fly zone over Syria. The U.S. officially
denied the later. Turkey fighter jets
flew a few attacks against alleged Islamic State targets in north Syria. The
Kurds say the Turks only bombed some empty houses. The official
announced plan seems to
differ from what the Turks are actually doing:
Turkey and the United States have agreed on a military
action plan with the objective of clearing the Turkish-Syrian border of
jihadist terrorists in what the two countries have called the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)-free zone.
...
The plan crafted by Ankara and Washington foresees the deployment of FSA units
to this area if ISIL is completely cleared from that particular zone, which
would both prevent the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD) from further
expanding its influence towards the West and create a safe environment for
either sheltering Syrians fleeing violence or those who want to return to their
homelands.
Last
night the Turkish air-force went on an all out attack
against Kurds in Iraq not against Islamic State
fighters or positions. Several dozens Turkish jets attacked
PKK postions in north Iraq. These jets allegedly flew through Syrian air space.
This is
an attack against the group that was, with international support, most
successful in fighting against the Islamic State. One wonders how
much of this part of the plans was agreed upon with the United States.
Does
the U.S. collude with Ankara in the now open war against the Kurdish PKK? How
then can it then continue to use the PKK/YPG as an ally against the Islamic
State?
Obama administration officials acknowledged the
PKK and YPG have links and coordinate with each other in the fight against
Islamic State, but they said the U.S. continues to formally shun the
PKK while dealing directly with YPG. The groups operate under separate
command structures and have different objectives, the officials said.
...
Just two years ago, President Barack Obama told Turkey the U.S. would
continue to aid its battle against PKK “terrorists.” The U.S.
continues to share intelligence about the PKK with Turkey, and military
officials from the two countries sit together in an Intelligence Fusion Cell in
Ankara established by the George W. Bush administration to help Turkey fight
the group.
But now,
“the U.S. has become the YPG’s air force and the YPG has become the U.S.’s
ground force in Syria,” said Henri Barkey, a former State
Department analyst on Turkey now at Lehigh University.
Again,
the PKK and the YPG are not really distinct organizations. They are essentially
the same. It seems that the U.S. is now helping the Turkish
government, which supports the Islamic State, to target Kurdish positions while at the
same time giving air support to the same Kurds against the Islamic State.
Who in
Washington came up with such a lunatic policy position and what is
the real aim behind it?
