Turkmens Worried About Consequences Of Operation Against Iraq

KONYA - Aydin Beyatli, a member of the Northern Iraqi Turkmen Front (ITC) Executive Board said on Tuesday that they were worried about the possibility of a chaos among opposition groups in Northern Iraq following a U.S. operation against Iraq.
Beyatli said that they closely follow the developments in the international platform about a possible U.S. operation against Iraq.

Beyatli said that the tension is escalating in Northern Iraq and all opposition groups determine their interests according to a possible operation. Beyatli said that they speeded up working to protect their rights as Turkmens who constitute 12 percent of the Iraqi population.

Beyatli remarked that they want formation of a democratic parliamentary system in which all opposition groups can be represented in Baghdad according to their population after a possible operation, adding that they are also worried about eruption of a new chaotic atmosphere in the region.

Beyatli said that they were worried about eruption of chaos among opposition groups in Northern Iraq after a possible U.S. operation in Iraq, adding that "we wish nine opposition groups to live in peace and within territorial integrity after the operation. Yet the designs on our territories have been revealed once again during the opposition groups meeting in London two days ago. KDP leader Barzani has an eye on Kerkuk and PUK leader Talabani has an eye on Erbil. Barzani wants to declare Kerkuk where 60 percent of the population is Turkmen, as the capital of the state he wants to set up. He is very interested in rich oil beds there."

Beyatli said that they continuously tell in international platforms that Kerkuk and Erbil are Turkmen territory, adding that "we are worried about the possibility of an operation in Iraq to bring onto again these demands and eruption of a chaotic atmosphere. Our non-governmental organizations and political flank explain our right cause."

Beyatli commented that these groups in Northern Iraq wanted to isolate Turkmens from the administration to be formed in Iraq after the operation, adding "Turkmens are ranked the first in respect of culture and education level among the peoples living in Iraq. We can't accept to be the minority of a minority in the administration to be formed in Iraq after the end of Saddam Hussein regime."

In my opinion, this attack to Iraq will be very different than the first one.

Because:

1- Israel declared that they will response this time if Iraq attacks Israel again. It sure will happen because this time Ariel Sharon has the power.

2- If Israel responses Iraq it very likely will lead a war between some Arab countries and Israel.

3- USA will help Israel if some Arab countries attack them.

4- Kurds want to establish their own country in Northern Iraq and Barzani declares that Kerkuk will be their capital in where the population is 60% Turkmen and Turkey announced that she will enter northern Iraq in case a Kurdish state is established.

5- Turkey will most likely side with Israel instead of staying neutral in case a battle starts berween Israel and Arab countries.

6- Iran will side with Arabs and provide Palestinian terrorists weapons and this will create a very high tension between Iran and USA.

7- In case USA attacks Iran it will be a great opportunity to liberate and separate for the 28 million Azeris living in the northern part of Iran.

8- Russia can side with Iraq instead of staying neutral

It's me NatalieLemmer! We've had entire discussions regarding Russian Keyboading. You created a few links for me to access tools [to aid in my learning the Russian language]. I occassionally visit these links to quiz myself.

To date, these are very valuable contributions to the "What about Russian men?" [personal section] thread.

Spasibo,

Oh, now I see. But I must admit that I have never believed that one would thank me for a link after a year or so.

anyway, take care Natalie.
