| KURDS ACCUSE THE US OF BETRAYAL |
|
 Kubat Talabani, the representative of the Regional Kurdish
Administration in Iraq in the USA, has made surprising statements in
the Nicson Research Center in Washington. In his statement Talabani
accused the US of supporting the establishment of an anti-democratic
leadership in Iraq. He said that let alone keeping its promises, the
US once again turned its back on the Kurds.
Such statements of Kurdish officials are on the rise in the recent
period. Having failed to get what they expected in the political
future of Iraq and dreaming for independence, the Kurds are now
questioning the past. While doing it, they put the blame of all
negativities on the betrayal of the US.
A short while ago, Kirmanj Gundi, the Chairman of the North American
Kurdish National Congress (KNC) active in Nashville-Tennessee/USA,
sent a reproachful letter to President Obama. As is known, the KNC is
under the control of Northern Iraqi Kurds. The US overtly supported
the Iraqi Kurds in 1972. However, it soon became apparent that the
support was nothing more that a calculation, states Gundi in his
letter. The letter mentions that the efforts of the then US President
Kissinger to reach an agreement between Iran and Iraq in 1975 caused
the end of the Kurdish revolution as a result of the Algeria Agreement
that was signed. Gundi states that the misleading approach of
Kissinger dragged the Kurds to disaster before the despotic Iraqi
regime.
In his letter, Gundi accuses President Bush of intentionally not
toppling the Saddam regime in the First Gulf War. He underlines that
Bush had called the Kurdish and Shiite people to rise against Saddam
and then turned his back on the Kurds. According to Gundi, as a result
of this mindless and insensitive attitude of Bush, Kurds experienced a
humanitarian disaster and Kurdish territories have been divided.
Gundi holds the US responsible for the failure to implement the
Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution. The US is accused of remaining
passive against the Arabs. Another interesting point in the letter is
statements regarding Kirkuk
The US is accused of resettling the Arabs
who were evacuated from Kirkuk after the city had been Kurdified.
America should help Kurds reclaim the territories that were once
seized. The two previous betrayals of the US are still echoed in our
hearts and minds. Kurdish people are worried that the third American
betrayal is on the horizon, ends the letter.
As it has become apparent from the contents of the letter and the
statements of Kubat Talabani, Kurds in Northern Iraq are greatly
concerned about their future and they are terrified. It seems that as
if they are paying the price of their past mistakes.(www.iraq11.com)
