President George William Bush

Dear President George William Bush,
On behalf of myself, the Kurdistan
PEN the Kurdish people, the Kurdish intellectuals
and writers of North Kurdistan, professor of the philosophy of science[1]
, I greet you with my fellow and
Kurdish organisations allied with us, I send you greetings and respect and
express some fears regarding a dark future for your policies in the North
Kurdistan. Thank
you celebrate the Day of Newruz ed in a universal sense in mentioning the
people of Kurdistan, but your military ally Turkey and its army which
persecutes this event for universal peace among people around the world. We
believe that the nation of Kurdistan does not deserve this terrible
genocide. Thank you so much Mr. President of the USA America we congratulate
you because of your historic speech. «
New Year Calendar I send greetings to those celebrating Nowruz. For
the millions of people who trace their heritage to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Turkey[2],
Pakistan, India, and Central Asia, Nowruz is a time to celebrate the New
Year with the arrival of spring. This cherished and ancient festival brings
together family and friends to reflect on what has come before and celebrate
a season of new beginnings. Our
country is proud to be a land where individuals from many different cultures
can pass their traditions on to future generations. The diversity of America
brings joy to our citizens and strengthens our Nation during Nowruz and
throughout the year. Laura
and I send our best wishes to all those celebrating Nowruz, both here in the
United States and abroad. May the year ahead be filled with peace and many
blessings[3].» The
president of South Kurdistan Mr. Masoud Barzani[4]
has celebrated the Feast of Newroz to Zaxo and he condemned the policy of
the Syrian regime that the same policy apllique the Turkish colonial regime. There
are two Mr Sarkozy day before the British Parliament said «in these
walls, in your walls, the modern political life was born. Without your
Parliament, Parliamentary democracy did not exist in this form in the world.
And through the Parliamentary
Practice born in those places, you have imposed as a parliamentary democracy
The best guarantee against tyranny.
The history of your institution, your influence Parliament today most
of our Contemporary political
regimes. The affirmation of Parliament has been serving the
Protection of individual liberties is a lesson that you, the British,
you provided World. This
Parliament, yours was the first in the world to obtain the results of
democracy Parliamentary who you are and that you represent the
cornerstone of all our democracies. This
is where parliamentarians have gradually invented what a party, a
platform and Finally a majority.[5]»
But President
Sarkozy has forgotten it was France and England which divided Kurdistan in
1916, the truth is that the misfortune of Kurdistan between the superpowers
began formally this period. That is why this day
on March 29, which is the time for hanging our President
State of the Republic of Mehabad Kurdistan including the Minister of
Defense was the Great General Molla Mustafa Barzani. Our president is
hung avce the complicity of the Bolsheviks and
by England.
We writers of Kurdistan, members of the French section PEN KURD in
France we ask for your intervention with the Turkish authorities and
Syrian, Iranian to ensure that our Kurdish people can celebrate its
National Day on Newroz. 2008. We ask you Mr. President your intervention
with the authorities of Turkey and Syria and Iran
in accordance with the Constitution of the USA and the UN Charter and
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that the right to
self-determination of the nation of Kurdistan is respected under
international law. In the history of mankind, intervention by the United
States in alliance with the anti-Hitler coalition in the USSR
in the fight against fascism and German destruction of the regime of
Saddam Hussein fasciste is identical and has a role ' historical. It is a
victory for the USA, and for we writers of Kurdistan use of military
potentiel USA and the UK in the fight against fasciste and colonialiste
regime of Saddam is the fundament the Kurdo-American alliance in the
particularity of the process Revolution of Kurdistan. In
your speech dated March 19 you said Dear
President G W Bush «Today,
in light of the challenges we have faced in Iraq, some look back and call
this period the easy part of the war. Yet there was nothing easy about it.
The liberation of Iraq took incredible skill and amazing courage. And the
speed, precision and brilliant execution of the campaign will be studied by
military historians for years to come. What
our troops found in Iraq following Saddam's removal was horrifying. They
uncovered children's prisons, and torture chambers, and rape rooms where
Iraqi women were violated in front of their families. They found videos
showing regime thugs mutilating Iraqis deemed disloyal to Saddam. And across
the Iraqi countryside they uncovered mass graves of thousands executed by
the regime. Because
we acted, Saddam Hussein no longer fills fields with the remains of innocent
men, women and children. Because we acted, Saddam's torture chambers and
rape rooms and children's prisons have been closed for good. Because we
acted, Saddam's regime is no longer invading its neighbors or attacking them
with chemical weapons and ballistic missiles. Because we acted, Saddam's
regime is no longer paying the families of suicide bombers in the Holy Land.
Because we acted, Saddam's regime is no longer shooting at American and
British aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones and defying the will of the
United Nations. Because we acted, the world is better and United States of
America is safer;» I
fully agree, but this approach is valid for T Erdogan Abdullah Gul in Turkey
for Ahmedn, edjat For Iran and Bashar al-Assad in Syria, contrary to your
statement I think that the founding of an independent state of Kurdistan
is not a detriment of the People
Kurdish,,really no doubt the establishment of the State Independent
Kurdistan is a total liberation for 40-45 million of the nation of
Kurdistan. I congratulate you on my human
conscienne.
Dear President George
W.Bush,
The respect of Human Rights plays an important role and is
interesting more and more people in modern societies. In the international
sphere, the fact that Human Rights and democratic principles define the
International Relations is a concept accepted by every society appearing as
civilized.
The international organizations are the arena of the discussions
about the breach of the Human Rights which mostly are topical. Turkey , due
especially to its illtreatment against kurdish people is often with other
countries on the top of the list of the violation of Human Rights.
Member of the United Nations, the NATO and the European Council,
associated to the European Union, Turkey is less a democracy respecting the
expression differences as it is a real european state. That's the reason for
which the fight for democracy of kurdish people seems to be an impossible
mission. After seventy years of persecution, after all these massacres,
deportations, summary death proceedings, tortures and forbiddings , after
the horrible consequences of the "special war" lead for more than
ten years in Kurdistan, an improvment of turkish mentality during the very
next years seems to be more and more impossible. In a such repressive
turkish context, a nation needs courage to require its elementary rights.
The fact that a few assimilated Kurds have some of the highest places
in the bureaucracy ,- these Kurds who have given up their national identity
as they are used to show pro-turkish nationalist ideas , more cruel then
their masters- doesn't deny that regle. Though Ankara's officials claim that
" any distinction between Turks and Kurds exist and that they have the
same rights" seven members of Turkish Parlement, belonging to the
Social Populist Party (SHP)were fired as they had attended a conference in
Paris in 1989 about Kurdistan. In the whole history, there were 28 uprisings
against central authorities and these revolts have been hushed up in blood.
The Movement for Liberation National of the Kurdistan.
During your meeting with Recep Tayip Erdogan on 5th November you
announced that the PKK was the joint enemy of the USA and Turkey. On 8th
January you repeated these words during your meeting with President Abdullah
Gul. We
writers of Kurdistan we have no confidence in the political ed your country
for two raison. USA sold chemical weapons in Iran and Iraq, the CIA and the
Shah of Iran have left our people in the hands criminals Saddam in 1975 and
1991In other words, it seems very logical to use the military potential of
amaricains and British against the Saddam regime ed for democracy, but our
ideal is to establish the independent state of Kurdistan we do not want to
be co; loon other states Turkey, Iran and Syria including the USA.
We surprised Sir President George
W.Bush your offensive
Call Dana Perino Peter MacMahon. This person has no scientific
knowledge about Kurdistan, it seems to me as a person
illiterate, despite a communication master How why she said that the PKK is
danger to the USA? You can see that we are a nation of 45 million. This
party has never pursued a strategy of armed struggle against the USA. It was
NATO and the USA who helped the Turkish style and our to day
is subjected to genocide? The question that arises is what your
spokesman Dana Periono[6]
is for the genocide of the people of Kurdistan?
In
truth I am not a member of the PKK, but there is a scientific and
sociological reality, I am a philosopher born in the region of North
Kurdistan in Dersim, on the order of Mustafa Kemal in 1937, 250 families in
the side of my Mother Meleka Hemede Silemani tribe of
Demenu twere killed and burnt with the gas and 52 children were shot
and three people in my family were hanged and is a scientific and academic
responsibility to write to you in behalf of the writers of my country in the
name of my people.The
PKK is a political party with the most popular support in Kurdistan and
everywhere where Kurdish people live. The PKK is a people's movement and at
the forefront in the Kurdish struggle for freedom. By declaring the Kurdish
struggle for freedom 'terrorist' you are not only insulting the Kurds but
you are also putting them in opposition. The consequence of this is not only
the negative effect it has on the USA's already tarnished reputation in the
Middle East, but it is also in conflict with US interests. By adopting this
stance, you are becoming the collaborators of Turkey's policies of
assimilation and annihilation which are implemented through the most
inhumane of methods such as torture, forced migration and genocide. The
Kurds are not and do not want to be enemies with the USA. The Kurds, just
like any other people, want to live freely in their country. The PKK is the
defender of these rights. Also,
we simply cannot understand on what foundations you are basing your claims.
The PKK, in its thirty year struggle, has never targeted a single American
citizen or American interests. On 17th November, your assistant to the
Foreign Secretary Matthew Bryza, in a statement made to the Turkish Press,
acknowledged that 'the PKK had not attacked a single American, and declaring
the PKK an enemy would only put us at risk'. You,
as good as anyone else, must know that the Kurdish problem is a historical
problem awaiting a solution; you know that it is not merely a terrorism or
security problem, you know that it is a struggle of a people that have not
even been given the most basic of rights and it is a struggle for very
existence. I would also like to remind you that your current position only
condones the gridlock seeking militarist approach of the Turkish State which
can only mean further loss of life.. Over
the past week our people in Kurdistan North participations with millions of
citizens with the deputy of the Party of the Company democratie__DTP
celebrated the Feast But today but; the Turkish security forces have
attacked the civilian population, hundreds of Kurds are hospital; women and
children, the elderly are beaten. We believe that we Kurds we have the right
to freedom of expression entitled to the right to life communication on our
homeland occupied and colonized by your driveway State of the Republic of
Turkey. In the cities of Van, Siirt, Hakkari, Urfa; Dersim, Semsur; Batman,
Diyarbakir demonstrators were subjected to attack Turkish military forces.

Kurdish New Year Day is called Newroz, which means a new day. It coincides
with the beginning of the spring – 21st March, and its celebration marks
the affirmation of the Kurdish national identity and freedom. Newroz has
been forbidden in Turkey until the beginning of 1990s when the president
Turgut Ozal, who was with half Kurdish origin, declared this day as
“Turkish holiday called Nevruz”. The Turks accepted Newroz as Turkish
“Nevruz” after that more then hundred civilians have been killed during
the Newroz celebration in 1992. On
21st and 22nd March 2008 several hundred thousand Kurds celebrated Newroz in
many Kurdish cities, but also in Turkish cities as Istanbul, Izmir, Adana
and Mersin. Several hundred people have been arrested during the
celebrations; many ten of them have been injured by the security forces in
Van, Siirt and Hakkari. One Kurd has been reported to killed.
«
Dozens were injured and 300 detained Saturday as police used truncheons and
tear gas to break up violent Kurdish protests in several Kurdish and Turkish
cities, police and media reports said.[10] Three

detained on charges of provoking the unrest.

anti-war slogans and calling for a peaceful solution to the Kurdish

management that problems would not arise at this years Newroz Celebrations.
Despite this there was a lot of bloodshed in several cities. According to
the DTP and Human Rights Organisations, the attacks organised by the state
system.
The
public celebrated the Festival of Newroz
peacefully in the cities where the police did not interfere. The Turkish
State continued to deny the Kurdish existence by placing bans on the Kurdish
New Year celebrations. The Baath dictatorship in Syria ,
and Iran the AKP government in
Turkey are responsible for the conflicts and killings at the Newroz
celebrations. In
this respect, we condemn the violent actions of the Syrian and Turkish
governments , and once again emphasise the need for peaceful solutions
through dialogue not force. We call on democratic bodies for international

find a peaceful resolution to the conflict by encouraging dialogue among
Turkey, and KRG. Furthermore, he asked President Clinton to help in the
establishment of American Bases in Kurdistan to protect the Kurds from Iran,
Syria, and Turkey. President Clinton said that Senator Clinton has a
plan for establish temporary base in Kurdistan to protect the Kurds and
Turkish PM expresses to him that they do not oppose such plans. Also, he
mentioned that Kurds of Iran, Iraq, and Syria are important allies for the

NEWRUZ
IN WESTERN KURDISTAN(Syria) Kurdistan
President Slams Syrian Regime For Killing Three Kurds
Qamishli
is the capital of the Western Kurdistan
region in Syria. "An argument between the demonstrators and Syrian
police in the Kurdish city of Qamishli developed into a shooting on Thursday
evening," the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in
a statement. The
Syrian army has moved some 10,000 soldiers into five cities in the country's
northern, Kurdish-dominated region, following violence over the weekend,
which left three people dead. The killing occurred during celebration of the
Kurdish New Year - Newroz - in the city Qameshli close to the border with
Turkey, according to several local news sources. We
know that Dear President G W
BUSH , The United
States condemns the attack on the Kurdish Syrian population by Syrian
security forces that left three civilians dead and others severely injured
in the northeastern city of Qamishli following the March 20 Nowruz
celebrations. We call upon the Syrian government to refrain from using
violent measures to repress Kurdish civilians and to open a full,
independent investigation of the incident. -
A Syrian[11]
court has sentenced four Kurds to prison terms of up to 10 years on charges
of seeking to annex parts of the country to a separate state, a human rights
group said on Monday."Hamid Suleiman Mohammed and Adnan Muwaymesh were
jailed for 10 years and Ibrahim Haj Yussef and Ahmed Hassan Habash for
seven," the National Organisation for Human Rights in Syria said in a
statement.[12] The
state security court convicted the four of "seeking through their
actions, plans or writings to break away areas of Syrian territory so that
they can be annexed to an independent state."The four were arrested in
March 2006 after taking part in a demonstration in the town of Afrin, north
of Syria's second city of Aleppo, on the eve of celebrations for the Kurdish
new year holiday of Newroz.They were originally accused of attacking a
security force patrol in the town, which lies in the heavily Kurdish region
of Kurd Dagh, the rights group said.The state security court also sentenced
two suspected Sunni Islamists to two-year jail terms for "inciting
communal and ethnic tensions." For
Dr Cewad Mella,President of the Parliament of Kurdistan Western
in exile on March 20,
2008, the day of Newroz, Assad's Dictator Regime killed three and injured
and arrested many Syrian Kurds in Qamishli[13]
without any warning, the police opened fire at the peacefully celebrating
crowd. Although there had been women and children among them the shots were
fired arbitrarily in the Kurdish city Qamishli in Syrian-occupied-Kurdistan
(we received short film shows the way of killing the Kurds). While the world
is paying attention to what is happening in Tibet, the Syrian Regime is
killing innocent civilians.. The Kurds have responded with protests in
various areas of Western Kurdistan, which has led to further increase of
security and moving thousands of military forces to Aleppo, Qamishli,
Hasakah, Kobani and Efrin.We at the Western Kurdistan Government condemn the
violence and the new massacre of Syrian regime on the people in Western
Kurdistan and demand the immediate withdrawal of all Syrian forces from
Western Kurdistan. We demand a full investigating from the UN, the EU and
the USA.We are wondering; why the world supports human rights in Tibet when
at the same time a fascist regime as Syria has a free hand on killing
Kurds!! HumanRights are universal: What is good for Tibet is also good for
Kurdistan.We expect from the United Sates, European Union, and the rest of
the free world to remove the Syrian regime from power, the second Baath
regime, to takeserious measures in democratizing the country so the both
main nationalities in Syria, Arabs and Kurds, could enjoy freedom and
equality with two federal governments for the Arabs and for the Kurds. At
the same time we would like to encourage the Kurdish people in Syria to
doeverything in their capacity to obtain their natural right of self
determination and to ask for referendum as the peoples of Kosovo and
Montenegro.[14] Assad's Dictator Regime killed three Kurds in Qamishli
. The
Syrian authorities have arrested in recent days five Kurds, which the writer
Ahmad Mohammad Moustapha, said Monday the Committees for the Defence
of Democratic Freedoms and Human Rights in Syria.
"The security services in Aleppo (north) arrested Saturday
Moustapha writer Ahmad Mohammad, alias Pir Roustem and confiscated
his laptop, books and personal papers," asserted the committee in a
statement.[15]
In addition, the security services in Damascus Thursday arrested four
Kurds, brothers working in a sewing workshop, "said the press release.
"The arrests of Jomaa, Ahmad, Mohammad Amin and Abdel Aziz
Hamdo, because they are probably sewed costumes Kurdish folk," the
statement added.
A
procession of Kurds, headed by the leaders of the Kurdish movement in Syria,
was headed Friday morning to the al-Hilalya cemetery for the funeral of the
victims, according to the leader of Yakiti. The representative in Damascus
of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), Abdel Razzaq Taoufic, told AFP
that such incidents were "caused by young people to create disturbances
before the Arab summit" scheduled from 29 to 30 March in Damascus.
According to him, there were four deaths. Finaly

Men and women entered on separate doors, but, unlike other times, once
inside they sat down together. It was striking that very few of the
attendees filled his head with a veil and that many vistieran jeans and
other Western clothing court. Those who packed on Sunday, the stalls were
Kurds from Syria refugees in South Kurdistan. Celebred the fourth
anniversary of the uprising of Qamishli: "intifada" of Kurds in
Syria. The stage is
flanked by two giant portraits of Mustafa Barzani, the historic leader of
the Kurds in the region where they have sought refuge. There are also two
banners: "The lifting of Qamishli is the victory of our people". A
boy about 20 years dressed in traditional Kurdish clothes presents the
event. After reading aloud letters arrived from all sorts of associations,
gives way to a succession of speeches, all in the hands of various
personalities from the KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party), but one of a Kurd
from Syria who thanked the party Barzani hospitality. Interventions are
strung one after another, and after a while, the little ones are beginning
to mourn. The rest of the family draws pictures with the mobile, and

both wonder if there is room for them. Following denied asylum to both, go
to the public: "We are the Kurds, 40 million people, and we have no
where to go." [19]
We know the
policy of the USA in support of South people of Kurdistan as was explained
by Karim Nadjmaddin; President of the Institute of Kurdish Washington “President
George W. Bush has argued for a new strategy in Iraq that will concentrate
on providing security for Baghdad and its diverse religious and ethnic
population. Although this change in the American military approach has been
long overdue, it alone will not be enough to stop the violence in Iraq --
nor will it bring home U.S. troops any faster. There
is no doubt tha t
the Iraqis must step up to the plate in order to achieve a sustainable and
stable democracy. The new plan, however, must coincide with a political
strategy, one that accepts the reality of a country torn apart by its past
and present.”
As know Mr President The US Department of State’s yearly Country
Report on Human Rights Practices, released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human
Rights, and Labor on 11 March of this year said that “the government
generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, serious
problems remained in several areas.” THE
NEWRUZ IN KURDISTAN ORIENTAL(
IRAN) Within the first three months of 2008, 136 Kurds have been killed, imprisoned, or disappeared in Iranian Kurdistan Since the start of the year 2008, 2 Kurds are reportedly executed, 3 sentenced to death and 7 are randomly killed by the security forces of the regime of Islamic Republic, among the killed a 17 years old teenager. The Islamic republic of Iran has increased its oppression against the Kurds in Iran. Human rights violation against the Kurds in Iran has been part of the clerical regime tyrannical culture during the last three decades. Since the installment of Mahmoud Ahmadi Nejad as the regime’s president in 2005, the violation of human rights in Iranian Kurdistan has escalated to a new level.Within the last 3 months, at least 43 people are detained for unknown reasons, 3 people are sentenced to death, 2 are executed, 7 people are randomly killed, among them a 17 years old teenager, 3 injured, and at least 26 people are questioned; furthermore, 16 students are questioned by the university discipline council. Overall 23 people sentenced to prison, whose verdicts are between 6 months to lifetime. Two people have been sent to exile, 11 people are condemned to various lashes and 20 million IR (2000 euro) penalties. In last three months a Kurdish NGO was closed down by the security forces and 2 Kurdish weeklies were closed down by the clerical regime. Iranian
Artilleries Resumes Bombarding Border Villages of Kurdistan Region [20]
This evening the Iranian artilleries resumed bombarding the border
villages of Kurdistan region including Rizgah, Shinawa, Spigle, Maraud and
Arke in Pishder district, Sulaimani province, PUKmedia correspondent
reported from the scene. Meanwhile unidentified warplanes have been
patrolling over those areas’ air spaces and at about 08pm Thursday the
Iranian artilleries once again bombarded those villages, our correspondent
added.No casualties were reported, but the local citizens fled for their
lives. A Japanese organization, the UNHCR, and the IRC opened a refugee camp
to the displaced people of the areas, PUKmedia correspondent said as well.
Iran
bombed the region of Kurdistan South Unfortunately,
Iran’s defiance to the international community especially in regards to
its nuclear program has shifted the attention of the world community from
the increasing violation of human and national rights of Kurdish people in
Iran and other parts of Iran. Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan calls
upon the international community to pay more attention to the ongoing
violation of human rights in Iranian Kurdistan and all of Iran.[21] The
Islamic Republic revolutionary court sentenced 7 Kurdish detainees to 3
years imprisonment in the Kurdish City of Baneh, eastern or Iranian
Kurdistan, according to the communiqué issued by the Kurdistan Democratic
Party –Iran or KDPI on Tuesday. Mr.
Sadiq Amin Nejad, Saman Rasoulian, Abdollah Ranjbari, Kaveh Hassani,
Mohammad Bahrami, Rastgar Mesgari and Mohamad Amin Ghaderi were sentenced to
various imprisonment terms for participating in demonstrations against the
Islamic Republic, the communiqué stated. "They acted against National
Security, disturbed general order and participated in covert meeting,"
according to their verdict. They, according to the communiqué, are
condemned to one year communion jail and two years unconditional jail. The
victims were participating in a general demonstration on April 8, 2005 in
city of Baneh. They have been held under captivity since their detainment
following the demonstration. In the same demonstration, the communiqué
reveals, 3 Kurds were also killed by the armed forces of the Islamic
Republic.[22]
Concluding the viewpoint of a sociological and historical approach THE
NEWRUZ IN NORTH KURDISTAN
Dear President G W Bush, For Amnesty International There were continuing reports of
fatal shootings of civilians by members of the security forces. The usual
explanation for these killings was that the victims had failed to obey a
warning to stop, but such killings often demonstrated disproportionate use
of force and in some cases may have amounted to extrajudicial executions.
There were concerns about Article 16 in the revised Law to Fight Terrorism
which failed to be explicit that lethal force could only be used when
strictly unavoidable to protect life. There were fears that Article 16,
which permitted the "direct and unhesitating" use of firearms to
"render the danger ineffective", could further hinder thorough and
impartial investigations into shootings by members of the security forces. Members
of the security forces continued to use excessive force during the policing
of demonstrations. Demonstrations in March in Diyarbak¹r, to mark the
funeral ceremony of four PKK members, escalated into violent protests. Ten
people, including four minors, were killed, eight of them from gunshot
wounds. Many demonstrators and police officers were injured. Investigations
into the killings were continuing at the end of the year. The demonstrations
spread to neighbouring cities; two demonstrators were shot dead in the town
of Kiziltepe, a stray bullet killed a boy aged three in the city of Batman,
and in Istanbul three women died when a bus crashed after being set on fire
by demonstration .In September a bombing in a park in Diyarbak¹r resulted
in 10 deaths. The perpetrators were unknown.»[23]
One area has been an increase in reported cases of torture and
ill-treatment. It was emphasised that security forces have carried out
extrajudicial killings and that most of those responsible have been left
unpunished. The report
also described conditions in prisons as “poor, with problems of
overcrowding and insufficient staff training.”
In
a press conference he held yesterday after a meeting with Prime Minister of
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Ralph Gonsalves, Erdoðan said DTP
officials had recently demanded to meet with him to discuss the Kurdish
