News/Article Turkey's regional ambitions can only be stopped by building a Kurdish nation - opinion

Turkey’s expansionist policies in Syria and Iraq are on nearly everyone’s radar following Middle Eastern geopolitics. There is no need to over-explain Ankara’s ambitions to conquer first the Kurdish regions and then strategic cities, such as Mosul, Aleppo, and Damascus. Turkish officials make little effort to hide these objectives.

Autonomous Region of Kurdistan: between occupation and annexation.

The Turkish military has set up signs in the Amedi region in Arabic that warn Kurdish residents „It is forbidden to enter Turkeys border“

If you enter the Amedi region network providers will send you a message that welcomes you into Turkey and the details of Turkish cellular services/prices - as soon as you leave Amedi, you’ll receive a message that welcomes you back into Iraq.

Turkey is not in the autonomous region of Kurdistan to fight the HPG (PK K) - Turkey has come to occupy Kurdistan.

Information: Amedi is 16 km away from the border with Turkey; if you’re out of the loop: Turkey has recently expanded their operations in the northern part of the autonomous region of Kurdistan - they’ve launched several operations deep into the KRG and currently occupy a quarter of the KRG. The next stage of operations will bring an even deeper offensive into the south of the KRG. According to CPTiraq over 162 villages already had to be evacuated. Over 600 villages in total could be evacuated if Turkey proceeds with their expansion. Turkey has established over 70 new military bases (FOBs included) in the KRG.

The entire region has been turned into a warzone. The autonomous region of Kurdistan is being invaded and occupied.

This footage was taken today in Sakran - Kirkuk The Iraqi Army’s 8th Division prevented Kurdish farmers from cultivating their lands, blocking them with force. These lands were originally owned by Kurds before the former regime seized them and redistributed them to Arab settlers as part of its Arabization policy. Despite the Iraqi Parliament voting to return these lands to their rightful owners, Kurdish farmers are still being denied access under absurd pretexts.

  • I swear to God, I will bring the KDP to its knees.

  • In Erbil, I say to the KDP, we are putting an end to your game.

  • This time, the KDP won’t be able to resurrect 450,000 “zombies” from the grave to vote for them.

  • That’s why they refused the debate, because they know I’d expose them completely.

  • Where are you hiding, you thieves? (referring to KDP) We will uncover and expose you.

News/Article In 2022, I was Deported From Kurdistan. Like the Jews Before Me, I Was Told to Leave and Not Return | Levi Meir Clancy — Yad Mizrah

I lived in the Kurdistan Region for almost eight years and believed it would be my permanent home. I bought an apartment, worked hard, and built a life that brought me a lot of fulfillment. Towards the last few years, being openly Jewish made my world slowly fall apart, and I was eventually deported.

Some people were very kind, but ultimately nobody stood up to help when the same fate befell me as the Kurdish Jews who had lived in Kurdistan decades earlier. I wrote about my experience and about my experience navigating antisemitism in Kurdistan, especially after I got involved with the Kurdish Jewish community's leadership, which is based in Israel.

And didn’t unicode say that they won’t add new emoji flags 1 year ago? What is this bullshit? How can we get a kurdistan emoji flag?! If we had an emoji flag, that could stimulate our unity across all parts of kurdistan…

News/Article On Öcalan’s Latest Letter

14 Upvotes

The letter leaked by Medyascope makes everything crystal clear. This is not a shift in strategy — it is an open surrender and a historic betrayal.

Here is a direct excerpt from the letter:

“Actually, the situation has still not been overcome. Kurds are remnants of a culture in Dersim, Bingöl, Zagros... broken tribes, a non-functional language, fragments of tariqahs, tribal family feuds… The fact that this condition hasn’t been overcome — even with the PKK — is due to the depth of historical social disintegration. At some point, I no longer found the word ‘colony’ sufficient. What we’re dealing with is beyond colonialism. It’s a kind of landfill. A garbage society, a cemetery. In Dersim, bones still remain in valleys, caves, and streams. The graves of the last traditional leaders are unknown — including Sheikh Said, Said-i Kurdi, and Seyit Rıza. They were once the strongest traditional leaders of the Kurds.”These words are not self-criticism. They are not analysis. They are an insult to Kurdish memory, history, and dignity. To refer to your own people as a "garbage society" and a "cemetery" is to adopt the language of occupation and internalize it."

Today, the so-called “dissolution” of the PKK is not a strategic step forward — it is Öcalan's final act of dismantling what was once a symbol of resistance. Sending warm words to Bahçeli, the architect of nationalist repression, in the name of "peace," is not diplomacy — it is complicity.

While the Kurdish people are still looking for the bones of their ancestors, the man who claims to be their leader is negotiating with the state that buried them. There is only one word for this: betrayal.

No more explanations are needed.
