Pseudo-Kurdish Talabani and Barzani: Death Squads´ Leaders, Accused for Crimes Against the Mankind

In the present article, I republish the other units of the eighth chapter that focuses on the US-led invasion of Iraq which – in the name of the fight against a menacing dictator – triggered an explosion of Islamic Terrorism, and turned the marginalized and unrepresentative chieftains of two tribal families Talabani and Barzani to merciless and menacing tyrants whose criminal paramilitary death squads massacre Turkmen, Aramaean Christians, Yazidis. The present part focuses on terrorist acts perpetrated by the pseudo-Kurdish criminals against the Iraqi Turkmen nation. A list of martyred Turkmen is added.

At the same time, the burgeoning infiltration of Al Qaeda among the pseudo-Kurdish leaders risks unleashing a most calamitous dynamics that will pull the entire Middle East into total destruction. In the present and the forthcoming last articles of the series, the criminality of the Talabani and Barzani death squads will be duly exposed, and the need for their immediate elimination fully emphasized.

The Turkmen City of Tuz Khormatu

By Mofak Salman Kerkuklu

The election of 30th January, 2005

The elections of 30th January, 2005 were carried out in the absence of sufficient international observers. During the elections, incidences of fraud, cheating and manipulation in the voting system were widespread. Several irregularities took place in northern Iraq. For instance, after the close of registration at the polling station after the 23rd January, 2005, 100 000 Kurds who were not residents of Kirkuk were registered and were allowed to vote in the election.

An estimated eight million people voted in elections for a Transitional National Assembly. The Shia'a United Iraqi Alliance won a majority of assembly seats. Kurdish parties come second. During the election, the Kurds obtained a large number of seats in the parliament and a large number of ministerial positions. By April 2005, amid escalating violence, parliament selected a Kurdish leader, Jalal Talabani, as the president of the republic of Iraq. Dr Ibrahim Jafferi, a Shi´aa, was named as Prime Minister and a new constitution was established.

Dr Ibrahim Al Jafferi faced strong opposition from both Kurdish parties, PUK and KDP, for his strong opposition to the implementation of the referendum on Kirkuk. Thus, both Kurdish parties fought vigorously against Dr Ibrahim Al Jafferi and refused to participate in his government. Moreover, Dr Ibrahim faced tremendous pressure from the US administration and his own party to leave his position, and as a consequence, Dr Ibrahim resigned and Dr Nuri Almaliki took his position.

During Dr Nuri Almaliki´s presidency, there was instability and a lack of security. The level of violence increased dramatically and the central government was very weak. Dr Nuri Almaliki was under tremendous pressure from the Iraqi government and the USA to bring stability and peace to the country and to disarm the local Shi´aa militia of Moqtada Alsader.

However, during Dr Nuri Al Maliki´s government, only a single ministerial position, that of minister of sport, was given to the Turkmen Shi´aa. This post was held by Mr Jassem Mohammed Jaafar. In the meantime, the Kurds in the north of Iraq had established their own government and appointed Mr Abdullatif Benderoglu as a minister representing the Turkmen in the newly established government in the north of Iraq. In addition, Mr Massuad Barzani was appointed as the president of the Kurdish parliament in the north of Iraq and started a more vicious campaign of Kurdification.

The new Iraqi legislation

During the occupation, a new legislation was established by the US administration and enforced on the Iraqi people. In the newly formed constitution drawn up by the interim government, it was clearly stated that Iraq consists of only Kurds and Arabs and has totally disregarded the existence of all other minorities. The Turkmen strongly believe that a new Iraq must be inclusive and ethnically and religiously balanced in representing Iraq's three main groups.

After the election, few Turkmen from Tuz Khormatu were appointed as ministers in the new Iraqi governments. In addition, the Kurds and the US administration imposed the idea and principles of Federation on the Iraqi people. Moreover, the Kurdish parties insisted on adding a new paragraph, which is article 140 in the legislation, and is related to Kirkuk and its status. The Kurds have insisted on carrying out a referendum of the Turkmen City of Kirkuk.

Kurdification (´altakrid´)

After the invasion and foreign occupation of Iraq, the Kurdish parties, led by Mr Talabani and Mr Barzani, and their militias, have realised the old plan of Mullah Mustafa Barzani by taking control of Kirkuk, Kurdifying the city and controlling its oil wealth, to the detriment of the Turkmen. This clearly proves that what has changed for the Turkmen since the regime change in Iraq is simply the substitution of Kurdish control for Ba'ath control. This is not only unfair but is also unacceptable to the Turkmen, who want to live freely in their Turkmen region in a free, peaceful and democratic Iraq.

After the toppling of Saddam Hussein´s regime, thousands of internally displaced Kurds and Turkmen have returned to Kirkuk City and other Arabised regions to reclaim their homes and lands, which have since been occupied by Arabs from central and southern Iraq. These returnees were forcibly expelled from their homes and lands by the government of the Ba'ath regime. However, the majority of the Kurds returning to the city of Kirkuk were not originally from Kirkuk. They had been brought from outside the region to Kirkuk with the help of the two Kurdish parties, in order to change the demography the city and to win the referendum, which was arranged for the 31st December 2007, to determine whether Kirkuk can formally join the Kurdish administered region; an outcome that Arabs and Turkmen in Kirkuk staunchly oppose.

These Kurdish newcomers to Kirkuk have been given financial support and incentives by both Kurdish parties to come and settle in Kirkuk: they have been issued with forged identification cards, and official records and documents have been falsified to show them as Kurds originally from Kirkuk who had been forcefully displaced by the Ba'ath regime, even though the great majority of them had never been, lived, worked or possessed any property in Kirkuk!

The Kurds have managed to bring hundred of thousands of Kurds to Kirkuk from outside before the election to show that they are the overwhelming majority in Kirkuk and to force the established government under the occupation to hold a referendum in 2007. The date of the referendum was cleverly calculated to make sure that both Kurdish parties had enough time to transfer an adequate number of Kurds to the city of Kirkuk. The Kurdish plan was obviously to win the referendum and annex Kirkuk City to an autonomous region, which is currently under Kurdish control.

It is worth mentioning that from the US and Kurdish occupation of the Turkmen region on the 10th of April 2003, up to 2007, not a single Turkmen has recovered his rights or recuperated his property or agricultural lands, confiscated by the Ba'ath regime; not a single Turkmen has been compensated; not a single Turkmen village which was destroyed has been rebuilt. This is in contrast with the Kurds, who have not only recuperated all their lands and properties and received compensation but have also taken over all the properties belonging to the Turkmen, which had been confiscated by the Ba'ath regime.

Kirkuk itself has become almost synonymous with the abusive Kurdisation campaign, which illustrates the persistency of the designs that the Kurds have on Kirkuk.[1]

Kirkuk´s fate has been one of the thorniest issues of Iraq's constitutional process. Under Article 136 of the document ratified by Iraqis on the 15th October, 2005, a referendum on the status of Kirkuk will be held in the province no later than the 31st December, 2007. This will happen only after the Iraqi government takes measures to repatriate former Kurdish residents and resettle Arabs or compensate them.

Nevertheless, throughout Kirkuk and across hundreds of remote farming villages, the Kurdish political parties are doing the job themselves. The PUK has openly declared that the party provides $5000 to each repatriated Kurdish family. Tens of thousands of Kurds have resettled in the city and surrounding villages over the past year, many with the help of the parties. From 2003 to 2006, the Kurdish parties relocated as many as 600 000 Kurds to be settled in the Kirkuk region since Hussein's fall in 2003. The demographic structure of Kirkuk has been seriously distorted as Kurds, backed by armed Peshmerga forces, have been migrating into the city in large groups claiming to be original residents.

The fate of the disputed Iraqi city of Kirkuk is vital for all of Iraq and a planned referendum on its status should be held across the country, not only in Kirkuk, as currently intended. The Turkmen declare that Kirkuk is an Iraqi city and all the people of Iraq should decide on its fate. A referendum to be held only in Kirkuk would not be acceptable and valid, since it is extremely easy to manipulate election results in the city. As a matter of fact, the issue of Kirkuk's status is potentially explosive for Iraq and ethnic conflict over the city could spark violent clashes and even a civil war across Iraq, which could eventually lead to disintegration of the country. However, the unresolved issue is the future of Kirkuk: an oil rich city in northern Iraq, which is a home to a substantial number of Turkmen, Kurds and Arabs, making it a powder keg.

The Kurdish militias are insisting that the constitution requires a popular referendum by December 2007 to determine whether Kirkuk can formally join the Kurdish administration region. If this is the outcome, the Arab and Turkmen in Kirkuk will staunchly oppose it, since the demography of the city has already been altered dramatically by the Kurdish authorities. The risks of further violence sparked by a referendum are great and would be potentially explosive; a referendum in Kirkuk City could spark violent clashes among the ethnic groups and even a civil war across Iraq, which could eventually lead to a disintegration of Iraq. There is also a great possibility of Iran, Syria and Turkey intervening and becoming involved in Iraq. Unless the international community acts soon to resolve mounting tensions in Kirkuk, the result could well be yet another violent conflict in Iraq, with the risk of full‐scale civil war and possibly outside military intervention, since the Kirkuk issue is not purely an internal matter but is a matter of concern to the stability of the adjacent countries.

The referendum result would not reflect reality, owing to the alteration of the ethnic composition of this city by the Kurdish parties who brought, as mentioned above, over 600 000 Kurds and registered them as inhabitants of Kirkuk precisely for the purpose of voting in this planned referendum in order to legalise their control over the city and its annexation to the Kurdish autonomous region! Kirkuk has never been a Kurdish City, despite the misleading arguments, false claims and dubious practices of the Kurdish political parties. It is historically a Turkmen city and should, therefore, not be controlled by the Kurds or be annexed to the Kurdish autonomous region.

Given the very dangerous situation in Kirkuk, international arbitration is necessary to avert communal violence. As Turkmen, we are satisfied with the Iraqi Study Group Report on the Kirkuk issue that was submitted by James Baker and Lee Hamilton. The Turkmen find the ISG report realistic, constructive, well structured and comprehensive in covering all aspects that relate to Iraqi issues and provide new hope for the future of Iraq. However, as Turkmen, our recommendation to the ISG is that the referendum on the Kirkuk status should be completely abolished rather then delayed and we argue that the Iraqi government should consider it to be implemented.

Deaths during the Kurdish occupation

During the occupation of the Turkmeneli region by the Kurdish Militia the Kurdish militia killed a large number of Turkmen intellectuals and politicians.

The assassination of the Director General for Education

On Tuesday the 31st August 2004, the Director General of Education, Dr Ibrahim Ismail, an ethnic Turkmen, was shot several times in the head by attackers who sprayed his vehicle with gunfire. Dr Ibrahim Ismail was killed on the main road as he was heading towards the Technological Institute in the south of Kirkuk. Three bodyguards and two teachers accompanying him were also wounded. The General Chief of police, Turhan Yusuf, in Kirkuk, said that six attackers in a pick‐up truck sprayed Dr Ismail´s vehicle with gunfire. Dr Ibrahim Ismail was an active member of the Iraqi Turkmen Front. He was one of the organisers who staged protests condemning what the Iraqi Turkmen Front describes as attempts by the city´s Kurdish community to seize Turkmen and Arab land and to distribute it to the Kurdish people. He was also at the centre of a heated debate in the ethnically divided city over which languages should be taught in schools. He felt strongly that the Turkmen language should be taught along with the Arabic language. He was strongly opposed to the Kurdish language being used as an official language in Kirkuk.

In addition to this, all the Turkmen and Arabs living in the north of Iraq, in general and, in Kirkuk, in particular, opposed the Kurdish Paramilitary groups that have been controlling three Northern provinces after the 1991 Gulf War. However, the Kurds, with the help of the British and the US forces have pressed for the inclusion of Kirkuk in an autonomous Kurdish region within a federal Iraq.[2][3]

In addition, on the 21st of March 2005 the US forces and Kurdish secret service, Asayish, raided Tuz Khormatu City. The raiders ransacked offices and religious shrines, tore up portraits of religious leaders and arrested several prominent religious Turkmen Shi´aa leaders. Adnan Mohammed Amerli, Sayid Aziz Sayid Kadir, Ayoub Ibrahim Al‐Najar, Sayid Hussein Sayid Kadir and Talal Hussein Kuwaiti were arrested by the Kurdish militia.

Nevertheless, after the occupation of Iraq, armed militia and the police forces started to terrorise the public. Table 2 gives a list of the names of Turkmen citizens who were abducted or murdered in the district of Tuz Khormatu from 2003 to the present.[4]
