Kirkuk Referendum and Hermaphrodites :

Feb 7, 08

Kurdish Media

Double life might be the style of many who can not express themselves freely with living only one life. In Turkey everyone is free to run one life, the Turkish life. In Kirkuk however, the Turks were not free to have a Turkish life and so they had no life while Saddam was ruling. After the liberation of Iraq , Turkish men and women freely called themselves Turkmen and Turkwomen. They decided to live as equal and peaceful neighbors of Kurds and Arabs in the city and keep their own identity.

The Turkish Military ™ was disappointed that both Turkish genders in Kirkuk had their own unique identity and tried to convince them to be only Turks without sub-classification to Turkmen and Turkwomen. With this strategy TM hoped the recently liberated Turks in Kirkuk will have the majority and make everyone live a Turkish life there too. They reminded them that everyone in Turkey is a proud Turk even if some foreign agents classify them as Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, etc.

TM emphasized that even all Europeans and Asians want to abandon their own identity and become Eurasian Turks. The newly freed Turkmen and Turkwomen responded wow; we didn’t know we are so important that everyone wants to be us. They went on and said even homosexuals run a pure Turkish life in Istanbul . However, they were not truthful and the recently liberated Turks knew some facts. They knew that Turkish homosexuals live double lives. According to a report by Von Dorte Huneke published in Spiegel online on Oktober 30, 2007, many Turkish homosexuals show their true orientation on screen as actors but they do not dare to disclose their identity freely in public. Many Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, and other minorities in Turkey have developed a similar coping style.

Knowing about these and other similar facts on identity in free societies, the majority of Kirkukian Turks realized something was wrong with TM. They decided to keep their identity as Turkmen and Turkwomen and work with Kurdish and Arab men and women to have a referendum on the identity of the city in 2007. Some of them however, had already become confused about pure Eurasian Turkishness suggested by TM. Instead of Turkmen and Turkwomen they decided to become Turkhermaphrodites. This confusion made the authorities in Kirkuk worried and so they decided to delay the referendum for six months. They hoped by then the hermaphrodites of their city and TM froces in Ankara recover and become educated about the importance of diversity, referendum, and democratic rules and regulations.

Webmaster's comments:

The editor of the Kurdish Media might not know it but Kurds are just as gifted as the Turks in falsifying facts.

The fairy tales of the Kurdish history

William Warda

A recent statement by Mulla Bakhtiyar, director of Foreign Relations Bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), a Kurdish militia and nationalist party, reveals Kurds intentions to Undermine the Assyrian history, identity and land rights in northern Iraq. In response to a question about whether the PUK, will recognize any land rights by the Turkomen, he said: "…It is known that nations (peoples) have the legal right to establish their own states or regions if they had historic and geographical lands; however, the Turkomen and ChaldoAshur [Assyrians] are residing in Kurdistan and they have full citizenship rights in it, but they [Turkomen and Assyrians] do not own/have any land rights in Kurdistan and/or in Iraq."

How ironic that Bakhtyari whose last name reveals that he belongs to the Bakhtiyar tribe in Persia and whose family has arrived in northern Iraq after World War Two will consider himself and other newcomer Kurds as more deserving of land rights in northern Iraq than the Assyrians who have lived there for thousands of years. The Province of Chahar Mahal Va Bakhtyari is situated between the inner ranges of the Zaqrouz mountains and the province of Esfahan in Persia.
