Old Habits...

General elections in Turkey will be held on June 12, 2011. The AK Party which is the government right now has fallen back into the old habits and is using the conflict to attract ultranationalist votes. Although PKK has decleared ceasefire the attacks by the state has accelerated. Troops are attacking small guerilla units by thousands. AKP is betting on Kurdish blood bringing her some votes.

The situation is grim as the police, which is largely under government's control, is attacking Kurdish people at every chance. The videos of police even stoning municipality equipment even caught the attention of mainstream Turkish media. Here is a small except of how heroic and brave the Turkish police is. About 20 of them are beating a young person while the other thug has his pistol out and is shooting. What you don't see is the other police who aim the gas canisters at women and children. Just last week a two year old Kurdish girl was hit in the head with a gas canister while she was home. If you expect me to feel sorrow when one of these bastards meet their demise, then well, good luck to you.

The Kurdish people are calling their defence forces to duty.

Êdî Bese!

Enough already!

Kurdish Children and AKPasha Inc

Everyone knows AKPasha Inc wants to close DTP but they can't do so. That would cause serious problems in accession talks to EU. EU frowns on shutting down political parties. What was left for the AKPasha Inc to do was arrest the DTP politicians and not close the party. Essentially same thing only more passive aggressive. Being passive-aggressive is the modus operandi for the fascist thugs like the AKPasha Inc.

In Colemerg (Hakkari), on 23 April 2009, a group of 50 people were protesting against recent AKPasha Inc attacks on DTP; arrest and detainment of over 300 DTP officials and party members. Police intervened with tear gas and water cannons and the group responded by throwing stones.

Additional support arrived for the police and they attacked the crowd. Of the many children running from the police, one of them, a 14 year old, fell off the cliff and hit his head on a rock. He is dead. The other child, who is 15 years old, was caught by one of the special forces and repeatedly beaten by the butt of an automatic rifle and kicked. Although this is not something unusual for the AKPasha Inc, this time it was caught on camera.The child will have to stay at the hospital because his life is still in danger. His skull is badly cracked. Hevallo has posted a video which shows the whole thing including another police officer who walks over to beat the kid but he doesn't. He walks away to his buddy and congratulates him. The kid is on the ground, unconscious. No calling of medical personnel. They just left him to die. His family members arrived on the scene to call an ambulance.

AKPasha Inc police last year caused mayhem during 1 May celebrations in Taksim. Here is their picture congratulating one another after their victory over public:
I wonder how they celebrated killing one and deadly injuring another Kurdish child? They must have rushed to hamam.

Here is one thing many people don't know because it's hardly reported:

"Yesterday [23 April 2009] at about 18:00 power to the city was cut. There is still no power. The public still didn't see the images of the child being beaten by butt of a rifle. There is no Internet either."

Perhaps you didn't know but AKPasha Inc cuts off power and all communication lines, including cell phone communications when they attack the public. It's common practice. TSK has been using this tactic for years.

Wrath of Losers: AKPasha Inc

Update: As of now, there are 187 DTP officials and party members taken into custody. On 17 April 2009 alone 46 people were taken into custody. The AKPasha Inc has been raiding DTP offices everywhere and conducting searches. Conducting searches basically means break and take whatever you can so they cannot operate.

The AKPasha Inc keeps screaming with their actions that they don't want peace. On Tuesday 14 April 2009, the police raided residences and offices in 15 provinces and detained 53 people. Leading members of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) were among those detained. Gun TV was one of the places raided. Police confiscated Gun TV's equipments and the tv station was unable to broadcast anything. Now, court has shut down Gun TV for a month.

DTP vice chair Kamuran Yüksek, DTP vice chair Bayram Altun, DTP vice chair Selma Irmak, Abdullah Öcalan’s lawyers Seracettin Irmak, Ebru Günay and Şinasi Tur, and Batman municipality building director Heval Erdemli are among those taken into custody.

Oh, but did you think the AKPasha Inc would be content with this much of human rights violations? Read on... Azadiya Welat and Özgür Mezopotamya Newspapers have been shut down for a month as well:

In the 11 April 2009 issue of Azadiya Welat, articles on the pages 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 8 were considered as part of organisational propaganda.
An interview with Abdullah Öcalan’s lawyers, commemoration adverts, another article on Obama and "thank you" advertisements by winning mayoral candidates of the DTP were all put into the indictment.

Here comes the real gem from the AKPasha Inc:

It has been said that a news item on the 8th page which discussed the results of a survey on Barack Obama in the USA, entitled “Wind of Socialism in the USA” (Bayê sosyalîzmê li Amerîkayê gur dibe) was also considered part of the “organisational propaganda.”

Full story on this gem is here.

Turkey's Strong Democracy

Each time an American President visits Turkey, they say something along the lines that Turkey is a strong democracy, it's an advanced democracy, and so on. It's quite strange to call a regime which cheats on elections, oppresses and tortures people, and denies them their identity.

Let's show two examples of Turkey becomes a strong democracy. The first Youtube video is during Newroz celebrations of 2008. Can you count how many police officers gang up on the boy at the beginning of the video? They never let him go, nor do they detain him. Everyone of those cops try to reach and make his mark for the strong democracy Turkey has. In a democracy, the police uses force only in self defence and then detains the person without torture. These cops are just beating that kid up endlessly. It doesn't stop, they keep going. They remind me of African wild dogs going after a lone zebra. Brutal. This boy and other "demonstrators" were trying to celebrate their new year, Newroz, at their home. Really a strong democracy isn't it?

On April 4, some people wanted to celebrate Mr. Ocalan's birthday in Amara. All these people wanted to do was to be able to go to Amara and plant some trees. They didn't want to make a demonstration, they didn't have guns, nothing. They wanted to plant trees. Two people were killed by security forces and many wounded. This Youtube video shows Mustafa Dağ's blood spilling out on the ground after he had been hit in the head by brutal Turkish "security" forces. You need to have a Youtube account to access the video because it is restricted to 18 years or older.

One thing is certain. It's not the Kurds who benefit from the "strong democracy" in Turkey.
