"PKK and Syrian Kurds are the spearhead in the fight against ISIS”
"PKK
and Syrian Kurds are the spearhead in the fight against ISIS,” –
Hadi al-Amri
Hadi
al-Amri is The head of the Shiite Badr Organization
ERBIL,
Kurdistan Region – The head of the Shiite Badr Organization, Hadi
al-Amri, said Monday that Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters
and its affiliates were spearheading the war against Islamic State
(ISIS) in Syria.
“PKK
and Syrian Kurds are the spearhead in the fight against ISIS,” said
Amri. “Turkey continues to assist ISIS,” he said.
His
comments came as Turkey launched a crackdown on the outlawed PKK,
with raids across the country and air strikes on the group’s Qandil
Mountain base in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
Amri
said that the Turkish crackdown was in response to Kurdish gains in
Syria against ISIS near the Turkish border.
“Turkey
has not changed its stance towards ISIS, and what happened over the
previous days came days after Kurdish forces deployed on Turkey’s
border. These actions by Turkey indicate the country’s unstoppable
assistance for ISIS," Amri said.
He
praised the role of Kurdish forces, especially the PKK-affiliated
Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG) fighters in battles against ISIS.
“They
have achieved great victories against ISIS, and now they are in
control of a vast majority of Kurdish territories in northern Syria,”
according to Amri.
“The
end of ISIS is not in Iraq but in Syria; they must be taken out there
first, then Iraq," Amri said.
He
claimed that, unless Iran helped Iraq militarily in the fight against
ISIS, it and the Gulf Arab counties would fall to ISIS.

Factual error in BBC report about Turkish air strikes against PKK bases.
Not
entirely correct – factual error in BBC report about Turkish air
strikes against PKK bases.
Subject:
Error today in
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33663005
and TV-report about the same.
Dear journalists at the
BBC.
I am Heine Strømdahl,
math teacher from Copenhagen.
Thanks for your fine and
dedicated work, I highly appreciate it and watch BBC World news on a
daily basis!
However, as far as I am
informed, there is a factual error! – or at least something you
need to clarify - in your report about the recent Turkish F-16 bomb
attacks directed against the PKK bases in Iraqi Kurdistan - and
perhaps also some PKK bases in Turkey itself.
In the article,
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33663005
, it is written that
”The
overnight air strikes in northern Iraq were the first time Turkey had
attacked the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) since a 2013 truce”.
1: The Turkish Air Force attacked and bombed PKK bases in Turkey in the month of June. (june 30)
”According
to the HPG statement, the bombardment with a number of warplanes of
the Turkish army targeted the areas of Avashin, Martyr Rahime, Martyr
Bager, Martyr Erdal, Martyr Gafur, Martyr Afad and Şaxê Nêriya in
Medya Defense Zones at between 09.10 - 13.00 today.
HPG
reported that the bombardment which was also supported by tank,
howitzer and mortar attacks”
2:
More generally speaking it would appear that in reality the Turkish
Army has been quite
aggressive in operations
directed against the PKK inside of Turkey for the last few months.
For
example, the PKK itself says – or claims - that The Turkish Army
has set up numerous ambushes in the ”guerilla zones”. And it is
well known that ”small” skirmishes between the PKK and The
Turkish Army have occured several times during the last few months –
resulting in some casualties on both sides.
In
making this assertion I am relying heavily on my accumulated readings
at http://www.diclehaber.com/
, and http://www.firatnews.com/
+ a few others.
Example
1:
”one
PKK guerrilla also lost his life.”
http://www.diclehaber.com/en/news/content/view/452515?page=1&key=ddafd30a3a9ff41efdd6d224cbcfe6a9
Ex 2:
”Maxzume
Muhammedzade, from Selmas city of East Kurdistan, lost her life in an
ambush laid by Turkish soldiers in Eruh district of Siirt on 14
June.”
I
have taken this subject up in more extensive detail in this piece
(see page 5 and end notes), which includes some sources:
If
these reports hold true then by
implication, you will
need to clear up any confusion and correct the sentence ”The
overnight air strikes in northern Iraq were the first time Turkey had
attacked the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) since a 2013 truce”.
It
may be entirely correct that the strike is the first Turkish bomb
attack against PKK inside Iraqi Kurdistan since 2013, but apart from
that the sentence is quite misleading and certainly need some
clarification – I think you should take the issue up in much more
detail in another report.
Please
correct me if I am wrong, but I guess we can agree?
Once
again, thanks for your service!
Sincerely
yours
Heine
Strømdahl
Gentofte
Copenhagen
P.S.
I
cannot help but think about the events at Mount Sinjar and ask: Who
was it, that helped the Yazidies on Mount Sinjar?
According
to your own reporting, it was PKK affiliated forces, that did most of
”the rescue work”.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28925179

P.P.S.
Excuse
my broken English!

Velkommen til Danmark, make yourself at home.
Velkommen
til Danmark!
(Jeg
forstår, at der fra visse politiske kredse arbejdes på en video med
et budskab til flygtninge eller kommende flygtninge, som tænker på
at søge mod Danmark. Budskabet er at "Danmark bliver ikke dit
hjem" - eller noget i den stil ) Det kan vi gøre bedre. Til
alle de flygtninge, som allerede er kommet hertil siger vi "Velkommen
til Danmark".
Så
jeg vil gerne komme med et lille pip og en opfordring om at vi ALLE -
uanset etnisk, religiøs eller politisk baggrund, uanset om det er
Heine,
Jens, Ahmed, Nisrin, Fatima, Pia, Amina og andre
- byder dem velkommen heroppe i det høje nord... "Velkommen til
Danmark, make yourself at home".
Det
er så let at skrive og ikke altid så let at udleve i praksis, må
vi finde styrken til det.. Dog er der allerede masser af frivillige,
som er i fuld gang og besøger flygtningelejre, arbejder ulønnet i
lektiecafeer, tager del i diverse integrationsprojekter m.m. så der
sker allerede en del når vi kigger på den (ulønnede og
organiserede) side af ”integrationen” (plus naturligvis den
lønnede og mere organiserede del, som eksempelvis denne
”sangintegration”
http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/samfund/2015-06-01-her-laerer-flygtninge-at-tale-dansk-med-nik-og-jay
) .... det håber jeg folk generelt informerer sig selv om, og ikke
kun lægger al deres opmærksomhed hos ballademagere og tyveknægte i
Gellerup eller andre steder.
De
kreative kan måske bruge af alle deres færdigheder til at lave lidt
postyr med nogle finurlige ”Velkommen til Danmark” posteringer på
deres Facebook, Twitter, Blogs osv.... Jeg siger postyr fordi der
er ”så mange”, der straks har behov for at fortælle os, at vi
ikke bare kan modtage ubegrænsede flygtningestrømme og vi
”risikerer” (der er frygten igen) at tiltrække flere.
”Ja,
kammerat, det ved vi da godt, er der mere du vil sige?”

interessant side.

til Danmark, make yourself at home"

Crushing the Islamic State Militarily Comes First
Crushing the Islamic State Militarily Comes First
"That some Arab countries are willing to supply such (military) aid, and directly at that, speaks volumes about how much the world’s views of the Kurds have evolved – except within the Obama administration, it seems. "
"While the United States has been helping the Kurds via air strikes against ISIS and some supplies (an air drop of supplies and weapons to Kobane last year and light weapons and munitions sent via Baghdad to the Iraqi Kurds), others recognize the best antidote to ISIS more clearly. Yet Washington is apparently busily preventing even Arab countries from directly supplying the Kurds with military aid, insisting that everything go through Baghdad. That some Arab countries are willing to supply such aid, and directly at that, speaks volumes about how much the world’s views of the Kurds have evolved – except within the Obama administration, it seems. "

"Our family now feel honoured to consider ourselves Australian Kurds" A message from Reece Hardings mother Mrs. Michelle Harding to the Australian government and the Kurdish people:
Why is the the Australian government so intent on imprisoning all returning fighters regardless. There is a big difference as the YPG is fighting against ISIS murders of innocents. It is farcical to put the fighters of an evil regime in the same prisons as the people defending the freedom and rights of a persecuted nation like Kurdistan. The Kurdish people want the same as us to live in a safe society where their children can laugh and play outside like our Australian children take for granted. My son enjoyed that carefree childhood and he wanted that for others. Reece also recognised that this evil would spread it's preachings of hate and infect countries world wide.
Religion should not be about hate and all people should have the right to worship however they please. Religion should be about trying to live a decent and good life for the sake of all humanity. We are all equals no matter what colour or race. We all share the same feelings for our loved ones and we all hurt the same way if we lose them. What ever God you believe in would not want killings done in its name. We kill each other not our Gods. Please share with as many people as you can as the world would be a lot better place when the slaughter stops and we learn to respect each other and live in peace.It really is that simple. Just one last thought our politicians have security teams looking after them and their families........who do you have to protect yours?
To the Kurdish people:
I am the Mother of Reece Harding, Haval Bagok Australi. I so thank you all for your loving support.
I also want the world to acknowledge the loss of so many of your sons and daughters that the media and press don't think is worthy of front page news. We all have different religions and cultures but we our all the same human race and all of equal value. As Mums our grief and pain of losing our children is the same. It upset me to learn of the death of another hero Heval Sardesh my heart goes out to his family and friends.
I am sorry I can't write this in Kurdish but Reece and our family now feel honoured to consider ourselves Australian Kurds. I didn't want my son to die but in a strange way it comforts me that he died this way helping others rather than in a meaningless car accident or something. I pray that all our children stay safe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness.
Michelle Harding the mother of warrior Reece Harding
