|
 Mustafa TOMBULOGLU
(Yorturk Cultural and Art Magazine March/April 2010)
In the 7th year of the occupation, basic facts and figures on the war are a total shame for the history of humanity. The US brutality in Iraq will be remembered once again on March 20, 2010. On this day people will talk about the fact that the blood freezing realities are much bitter than those served by the US media. The most important outcome of this war has sadly been the reconfirmation of the strong owns the right principle.

| A FOREIGNER HAND IN THE INCIDENTS IN IRAN? |
|
Mustafa TOMBULOGLU
(Yorturk Cultural and Art Magazine Jan/Feb 2010)
Domestic political turmoil, which began right after the Presidential
elections held in June 2009 in Iran is increasingly deteriorating.
Conservative faction is not only questioning the legitimacy of the
Ahmedinejad administration but also the attitude and the powers of
Religious Leader Khamaney. According to the press, the administration
thinks that there are 60 institutions and organizations behind the
escalating street protests. Therefore, a list is being prepared
regarding the various institutions, which are reported to be guiding
masses in political and social incidents. Authorities request that
state officials as well as the people avoid any contact with these
institutions, which are reported to be engaged in a psychological war
against the Islamic Republic.

| FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS IN IRAQ AND THE ELECTION IRREGULARITIES OF THE KURDS |
|
| Iraqi Parliament decided to hold general elections on March 7th, 2010
after prolonged discussions. The biggest difficulty during the
adoption of the law concerned the system that will be applied in
Kirkuk. Turkmens and Arabs that constitute the main elements of Kirkuk
demanded distinct regulations for Kirkuk. Because, the demographic
structure of the province has changed since 2003 as a result of Kurds'
practices. The approved law included the statement that "a commission
which will be formed for Kirkuk within the Parliament after the
elections will examine electoral rolls and the election results that
will be obtained in Kirkuk will not affect the future status of the
province". This clause constitutes a legal acceptance that the
demographic structure of Kirkuk has been unfairly changed in favor of
Kurds.

| THE TURKS OF SOUTHERN AZERBAIJAN AND THE WORLD MOTHER TONGUE DAY |
|
| Southern Azerbaijani Turks in Iran are celebrating February 21 as "The
World Mother Tongue Day" so as to advocate their ethnic and cultural
rights. As is known, by means of UNESCO, the UN has declared 2008 as
the "World Mother Tongue Year" so as to underline the right to use the
mother tongue. 30 million Azerbaijani Turks express their demands for
education in their mother tongue in this significant day because
education in one's mother tongue is an indispensable right. Following
the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979, Southern Azerbaijanis have
been forced to receive education in Farsi, in violation of the
articles 15 and 19 of the Iranian Constitution. The word "Turk" has
almost become a nightmare for the Azerbaijani youth. Educators and
certain circles of the society have the responsibility to publicize
this issue to the world public opinion.

Journalists had revealed that Galbraith was a secret partner of the Norwegian oil company DNO, which runs the Tawke oil field in Dohuk.

| UPCOMING ELECTIONS IN IRAQ AND THE KIRKUK EQUATION
|
|
Mustafa TOMBULOGLU
(Yorturk Cultural and Art Magazine November/December)
The US is envisaged to withdraw gradually from Iraq until 2011. According to the plans, 70 thousand of the 120 thousand American troops will be withdrawn from Iraq until the end of August 2010 and the rest at the end of 2011. The Iraqi National Parliament approved the New Election Law on November 08. Accordingly, general elections are scheduled for January 18, 2010. However, the results of general elections may shape the withdrawal plans of the US because having failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US does not want to leave the control of the region to Iran. The US will remain in the region by means of its military bases. The main objective is to maintain its political presence effectively.

| MEDAL OF HONOR TO SENIOR PESHMERGES! |
|
| It has been learnt that granting the senior peshmerges of the PUK with medals of honor and paying them a salary 150 thousand Iraqi Dinars more than other peshmerges have disturbed other peshmerges under the other Kurdish parties.
