Facing Turkish threatening, Southern Kurds, far from hiding themselves in a deep hole, are reay to fight and start demonstration in Erbil, by claiming “If Turkey attack, all of us are peshmergas !”
Radio Nawa made a census in whuch 88% are for resistance. The newspaper Hawlati published lower results : 70% are ready to fight, 20% think it is better to only watch operation, 10% think it would be good to help Turkey…
Concerning Turkmens, even if Ankara pretends to “protect them” from bad Kurds, they seem opposed also to any attack, as claims the Democrat Movement of Turkmens, which condemns Turkey and says that the only Turkmens’ party to support Abkara is the Turkmen Front. The representative adds that any Turkmen who is a patriot should not allow Turkey to attack.
These demonstrations are the repetition of 2003’s, when Turkish army had been asked by USA to enter in Kurdistan, only, officially, to fight against Saddam. Kurdistanî have protested in the same way.
