The only solution to the ongoing atrocities against my precious Kurdish population there is either a Federal System with full Government authority in the hands of elected Kurds by Kurds or to create two separate states of Kurdistan in South East with Diyaribakir as capitol, and Turkistan in North with Ankara as capitol for Turks.

Introduction, Discussion, and Recommendation:

Kurdish people are a great wonderful nation of 30,000,000 Kurds in Turkey, 15,000,000 Kurds in Iran, 3 million in Syria, and around 8 million in South Kurdistan (forcefully usurped by Arab Baghdad of the defunct Iraq) with the consent & engineering of England & France colonial powers during the 1920-1923 Treaty of Sevres to establish an Independent Kurdistan just as many other Independent states in the region such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and others were established, but Kurdistan was forcefully divided in a callous fashion, and allowed by the said colonial Perpetrators to be usurped by the 4 mentioned manufactured states after the fall of the ottoman empire. Kurds, a nation of over 50,000,000 Kurdish people are the most ancient people with the oldest discovered civilization in the world. Turks of Turkey are a mixture of many newcomer groups primarily Mongols from Mongolia, and a few others coming into the region during the 600 years of reign of Ottoman Sultans.

The Kurds on the other hand have a history of presence on Kurdish map for nearly 12,000 years. The Kurds are a Unique, Distinct, and most importantly for this discussion Native or best described as "Aboriginals" of their own land, proudly called "KURDISTAN" (which Turks nearly have a heart attach hearing the word, because they know they have illegally been allowed to occupy against the wishes of Kurds since 1923), and speak Kurdish, which is being prevented by Turkish un-Democratic regime since 1920, making useless & symbolic attempts to pretend the ban otherwise by setting up a controlled TV sub-channel (TRT6) station last year, but not allowing full Liberty to teach Kurdish in schools, and instead harassing Kurds in South East to teach Kurdish on their own. Kurdish people have their own natural resources, and man power to Govern themselves within Kurdish map under Turkey's control since 1923.

The only solution to the ongoing atrocities against my precious Kurdish population there is either a Federal System with full Government authority in the hands of elected Kurds by Kurds or to create two separate states of Kurdistan in South East with Diyaribakir as capitol, and Turkistan in North with Ankara as capitol for Turks. There is no other way to stop the internal war & sporadic killings, torture, and imprisonments of Kurds. Turkey's regime of Gul-Erdogan must take the initiative in going ahead with one of the two alternatives, and stop listening to other states, who may be against such a move for their own cold war era interests, tied with many corrupt Turkish politicians.

To cure this long overdue 89 years of human suffering quickly, and now is better than stalling, and procrastinating for even a year longer, otherwise no one benefits from the current outdated status. The whole world knows what is happening in South Kurdistan, and Turkey will be much better off to allow Full Official Governing Liberty of Kurds by Kurds now, rather than generating a much more negative human rights record, leading to never being able to join the EU, which is additionally strongly being further objected by members based on Religious Grounds.

What has happened in the past few weeks alone, use of chemical weapons against Kurdish Liberation Army, killing ethnically Kurdish origin soldiers in Turkish military (1248 Kurdish recruited soldiers between 1991-2001 alone), calling it suicide, use of the rest of 68 thousands of Kurds called "Jerdevan" (persuaded to help the army) to cause the killings of their own people against their wish directly or forced to guide Turk soldiers into Kurdistan to kill innocent civilians such as bombing and killing a 13 year old Kurdish child named "Ceylan Onkol" found with torn up body, leaving most Kurdish cities underdeveloped, arresting Kurdish speaking citizens and politicians for speaking Kurdish in most South East areas, arresting Kurds for publishing Kurdish news, and using the word "Kurdistan", and the list goes on and on.

This is clearly a very seriously chaotic and uncivilized treatment of the Kurdish nation by Turks Ruled from Ankara, and no person in their right mind would support it. Turkey's regime must simply take the control of its military establishment, and make the positive decisions, which has not been able to make since becoming a state in 1923.
