5. Alliance with the Iraqi Kurdish region and Iran
Especially when it comes to the struggle against the PKK, it is important to form an alliance with Iraqi Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani. |
As we have previously stated in details, the names of four countries are mentioned within the dream of the West related to the foundation of a Great Kurdistan. Syria, which is one of these mentioned countries, was excluded in terms of alliance or various suggestions of cooperation as a result of the civil war and the environment of disorder that has plagued the country for years. However Iran and the Iraqi Kurdistan Autonomous Administration are two of our border neighbors with whom we have strong alliances. The PKK has dreams about establishing a communist Kurdistan on the lands of both of those two countries and the leaders of the two states are troubled by the existence of the PKK. These very important details turn those three countries into unique candidates for an alliance against the PKK. What Turkey should be doing in these circumstances is to establish a great, effective and strong unity, siding with Iran and Iraq against the PKK.
We have previously mentioned Iran's deterrent attitude against the PKK. Of course, it is not possible for us to approve the anti-democratic practices of Iran regarding this issue; however it is possible to forge a very strong alliance aiming to deter the PKK, particularly on the borders, one that should definitely be realized. When we look into history, we see that the times Iran and Turkey enjoyed a serious amity were also very tough times for the PKK and the times relations between these two countries were at a standoff were conversely the times the PKK made use of as opportunities for new attacks. It means that the alliance of Iran with a strong state like Turkey intimidates the PKK.
This opportunity should be put to good use. With our army and our means, Turkey should make her alliance with Iran against the PKK be felt and moreover, should make it official with new strategic agreements by sharing intelligence information and it should be made possible for the PKK to estimate what any foolish moves would cost them. Such an alliance would be strong enough to singlehandedly put an end to all acts of the PKK.Barzani called on to the Kurdish Parliament in Iraq to prevent the impact of the PKK leaders such as Duran Kalkan in Northern Iraq and the presence of the PKK in the region. |
With regards to the Iraqi Kurdish Autonomous Administration; both President Masoud Barzani and Prime Minister Nechervan Barzani are trustworthy people known for their religious personalities. It is very good that their ties with Turkey are strong; this togetherness should be reinforced with an even stronger friendship and alliance. Right now, it is a known fact that there is a serious influence of the PKK in the Iraqi Kurdish region and moreover that some of the Peshmerga became supporters of the PKK. From time to time, some threats aimed at Barzani come from the administrators of the PKK who are hiding in the caves in Mount Qandil. Through those threats, it is clear that they want to coerce Barzani. Furthermore the PKK has in the beginning of 2015 declared the land in which Yezidis are residing in the Iraqi Kurdish region as a canton in their own minds and Barzani issued a strong reaction to this situation. Barzani is again the one who adopted a serious attitude against the PKK during the air operations conducted by Turkey targeting Mount Qandil and he also declared an ultimatum to this terrorist organization demanding that they “vacate Kurdistan.” On occasion, Barzani voices his complaints regarding the PKK and in an open or covert fashion expects Turkey's support.
Barzani made the following call to the Parliament and the Government of the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Administration regarding Duran Kalkan, one of the executives of the PKK, who made allegations about him:
Take proper precautions against these formations that are in treason. Such formations are dangerous... Put an effort with all your might to silence this voice (Duran Kalkan). Choke the life out of these opinions that constitute the offense of treason. My call to the honorable people of Kurdistan is this: Do not let such groups to gain a footing in Kurdistan. These components in treason want to pick a civil war. Do not allow these formations aiming to create instigation. Put in the effort with all your might to defend Kurdistan and ensure the unity of our people.
The PKK has been a threat against the Kurdish government in Iraq for years. Instituting an alliance with Turkey is essential for the welfare of that region, and for the children of Iraqi Kurds to prosper in peace. |
Clearly Barzani has concerns for the peace and unity of the Kurdish people and his autonomous region and describes the PKK as a virus that instigates corruption, disrupts unity and spreads terror. Beyond doubt, being under the supervision of the USA ever since its foundation is risky for the Iraqi Kurdistan Autonomous Administration; that is because the administration in question is unable to step out of the sanctions and conditions imposed by the USA and their free decisions are made under supervision. That is the reason why Iraqi Kurdish Autonomous Administration had to unnecessarily go into combat with ISIL in the region and the Peshmerga suffered devastating losses as a result of that combat. However alongside all these issues, the fact that USA has withdrawn from the region should be taken into consideration. In order to preserve the privileged status they have attained by means of the USA, the Iraqi Kurdish region needs the existence of a friendly and strong neighboring country. When these conditions are taken into consideration, it can be seen that Iraqi Kurdish Autonomous region needs the support of Turkey more than ever and every now and then Barzani voices this demand. Of course Barzani's security of life should be ensured primarily. Taking into account the peril facing Barzani, who is under constant threat by the PKK and who has had to deal with covert PKK supporters within his army, it is both crucial and urgent that Turkish Special Forces and the MIT (National Intelligence Agency) should protect him.
Former CIA agent Graham Fuller, who said that the Great Middle East Project has turned into a disaster and confessed that Turkey's involvement in American plans would come to mean signing its death warrant, also made another accurate assertion; "Turkey can solve the PKK problem if they can succeed to increase their dialogue with Iraqi Kurds."

a joint military action with both Iraqi Kurdish Autonomous Administration and Iran would yield very positive results. |
This substantially accurate and important assertion should definitely be taken into consideration. An alliance of the three border neighbors such as the Iraqi Kurdish Autonomous Administration, Iran and Turkey against the PKK, exhibiting all deterrent components against the PKK, sharing intelligence data and logistics support and making it felt that they are a significant threat against the PKK whenever possible would deter and silence the terrorists within a very short time. Turkey should take action to ensure this alliance at once and those three countries should act together in their struggle against the PKK.
