Syria's Kurds emboldened

Syria's Kurds emboldened (bbc)

What is happening in Syria cannot be taken in isolation. The protracted upheaval in one of the Middle East's biggest, most powerful and most influential countries is affecting the entire region and, most critically, its immediate neighbours.

Like Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon Turkey has already absorbed - almost without hesitation - thousands of Syrians fleeing the fighting, in particular from the northern cities of Hama and Aleppo.

Turkey is understandably concerned that the number of civilians fleeing across its relatively open southern border will increase as the fighting intensifies in Syria.

Some of those refugees also bring their own political baggage with them and there have already been disturbances in the border camps.

Occasionally ethnic and regional tensions spill over as thousands of displaced Syrians live cheek by jowl in tents under the blisteringly hot summer sum.

But for Turkey, the refugee issue is a mere inconvenience compared to what it thinks will be the biggest fall-out of the Syrian crisis - the Kurds and Kurdistan.

In an almost mirror image of what happened in Iraq after 1991, Kurdish nationalists in northern Syria are making the most of the turmoil and violence in the rest of the country to strengthen their own identity and position.

Meek and mild? (bbc)

How do you get a group described by the US government as a cult and an officially designated foreign terrorist organisation to be viewed by many congressmen and parliamentarians as champions of human rights and secular democracy?

It would challenge even the most talented PR executive.

The starkly differing perceptions of the MEK or People's Mujahideen of Iran could be a case study in the power of image management - of what can be achieved not with guns but by the way information is disseminated.

DK, your type of response is also known as

pre-mature senility.

There's no excuse for mistaking RG's avatar, the prominent red star, with any other avatar in here.

Meself thinks it's all that cheap French wine.

On the order of bankruptcies, you still haven't told us if you've said you farewell to Euro or not?

Per China, yes it still has a large poor population in the country side and some urban poor ae well, at the same time it has had the fastest growing economy of the past two decades, with the most extended cash reserve in the world.

None of you still has cited a single source on your accusation about KDP. Which means you both have lied and owe everyone an apology for such dishonest bahviour.

Roozbeh_Gilani That's because you forgot to Patent Your Slogans

Kadivar what are you smoking these days?

I did not even bother responding  to your and your buddies last drivel, and you still come back at me. And what is all this obsession with size ?!! 

But seriously, if it makes you feel better, call me a few more names. But promise to keep away from the hard stuff, you know, the Ashraf pahlavi khanoom and khamenei agha stuff :)

Thx DK for the videos, eye opening.

PS. it was Mitterrand' landing in Sarajevo in 1992 that prolonged the Balkan agony. May history be kind to both of them. For I, personally, wouldn't put in a kind word.

DK & MRX you people are just so out of it, that words don't do justice, just can't do justice.

MRX, you are lying, as usuall. Ghasemlo has no such book. If you had the vaguest idea or a clue as to WTF you're talking about, you would known its impossible to find one line from KDP's literature as to your acussation. As a matter of fact I challenge you to:

A) Name the book you mentioned.

B) Cite me one article, one line or one word from the official litreature of KDP.

DK, DONYA RA AB BORD, SHOMA RA KHAAB BORD. As far as bankrupties are concerned Euro looks mighty close to it, don't it, ain't it a damn shame? not to worry, Communist China to rescue!

Why is there even a doubt?

Ghasemlou in his book talks about creation of bigger and independent  Kurdestan in Mid East.  He was a bonified seperatist. Does it mean that we agree to his assisination by IRI goons? no of course not but let's not mince words any more.

You asked me for my opinion I gave it to you.

That you wish to share Your own Personal bankrupt theories with me is your problem Not mine ...

"koochooloo"? You'll be surprised....

I dare say you'd be rather envious if you see it!!

But at an intellectual level, "koochooloo" , is the one, like yourself,  who consistently confuses the simple concept of federalism with separatism, and tries to compensate for his complete lack of logic in a debate by using personal insults. 

Read, understand, grow up, and stop damaging your cause any further... 

p.s. As I told you many times in previous comments, your beloved united kingdom is really nothing  but a federal system of government, so are Germany, USA, switzerland. The very countries we are all living in quite happily....

Roozbeh_Gilani Koochooloo Yes I do ...

Roozbeh_Gilani you ask : "So you claim that Dr. Ghasemlou the leader of Iran's Kurdish democratic party, who was murdered by Islamist regime's SAVAMA (that is your SAVAK renamed) whilst attending what he thought would be a meeting with the islamist regime to stop the fight in Iran's Kurdestan and prevent blood shed and possible separation of this province from Iran a separatist?"

Answer: Yes I do ...

Gassemlou was first and foremost a Politician.

I do not believe a second nor trust the so called declaration of principles delivered by the  "Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan" (PDKI) as wanting merely to be part of a Federal Democratic Republic of Iran ( as advocated by them in an eventual hypothetical Post IRI Future) but that on the contrary it wishes on the long run to see a separate Kurdistan join that of Iraq and why not that of Turkey ( if ever it achieves to separate itself on the same grounds from it's Turkish Entity.) 

Being an unfortunate victim of the Illegitimate Islamic Republic doesn't make his cause any more legitimate in my eyes ... 

Any other questions ? ... 

Best,

DK

Do you even read what you write? 

 Look at what you write here , compare it with shameful daily lies in Islamist regime's propaganda  rag Keyhan, and you'll see that there is no difference whatsoever...
