some days ago ,for the third time in the last four years , a truck containing 27000 liters dangrous chemical products fell into the dam of Sine City (Aka sanandaj) in Eastern Kurdistan in Iran.
2 years ago also a very dangrous chemical product named M.T.B.E fell into dam of the Sine that made a lot of news in scientific magazines in the world , some had suggested not using the dams water at all any more not even for washing proposes and find another source for water , because those chemical products can cause cancer and even cause gentic diseases in the future generation of the kurds , well but peopel still use the same water.
let not forget Iranian Kurdistan was also Chemically Bombed by Saddam Hosseyn during the Iran-Iraq war.
Acording to the statistics Iranian Kurdistan has the highest rate of cancer in the Iran , it seems everything is helping peopel to get cancer .
Iranian Kurdistan is one of the poorest parts of the Iran, and the government has not spent much money on making factories, safe roads , saftey for the dam…
Infact there are news that they have prevented private companies to develope Kurdistan or to make any factory there.
What are these chemical products ?
two years ago that the MTBE Truck felt into the dam , there was some rumors that it is Saddam Hossiens chemical weapons that are sent to Iran to be hiden … well it was Rumors and had no bases…
these trucks which contain dangrous chemical products come from South of Iran , where they are made from oil , they are sent to Tabriz which is an Iranian Industrial City,Tabriz is an Iranian Turkish City , which unlike Kurdistan have a many many factories .
the only official who have talked about this accident is “Security Assitiant of the governor” after 2 days after the accident, he just said, the chemical products was not harmfull ,
I dont know how qulified a security intelegence official is to talk about chemestry and why other officials didnt say anything.
the question is . why they dont let a factory be made in Kurdistan, so they dont be have to move these dangrous chemical products from south of iran to north west of iran (and vice versa)
Kurds who suffer from high Unemployment and poor econmic conditions , and they have to Host Iranian Chemical products in their ways which goes to Turkish cities…that usualy fells into their dam ,and god knows how many diseases they and their future children will get of that …
two years ago that MTBE fell into the dam, acording to the local peopel , the Non-Kurd Intelegence and high-ranking officials in Kurdistan used Bottel Waters instead of city’s water , acording to that news, those officials recived water every day at their house in bottles while peopel could not afford buying bottle waters.
During the 8 years of Iran-Iraq war, Saddam Hosseyn several times used chemical weapons on both Iraqi and Iranian Kurds , Halabcha which is an Iraqi Kurdish city is so close to Iranian Kurdistan , I personally met some victims of Halabhca in Iranian Side of the border.
Saddam had also used chemical weapons on serdesht and other Iranian Kurdish cities..
Acording to the Iranian Government statistics, Kurdistan province has the highest rate of Cancer in the whole Iran.
there was a news in Mezopotamia radio that in Turkish Occupied Kurdistan, Turkish Racist Regime (sorry I meant “Model of democracy” according to Bush and Candoleeza Rice) used chemical weapons on PKK members in the mountains.
I hope people of Kurdistan receive better gifts from their beloved neighbors in the future ,better than …sigh
