Today, the World is witnessing, the brutality of civil War in Syria; including but limited the deployment of forbidden internationally weapons, such as chemical weapons, countless destructions of the Cities, Villages. Now the conflict in its third year. More that 93,000 people have been killed since the Syrian upraising started in March 2011, in according to the United Nations. It appears there is no end on the horizon in near future, it escalated civil war after opposition Supporters took arms to fight a brutal government crack down and un-numerated refugees to the neighboring Countries.
Western governments have pledged to offer military support to Assad's opponents particularly, United States, British and French governments, but they say, we don't want the weapon falling on the wrong hand opinions groups- another word, we are not supporting the Islamic movements, such as Jihadists, not to mention terrorist al-Qaida affiliated group - Jabhat al-Nasrat. However, since the Syrian conflict started, these aforementioned groups have taken control of several towns, villages at near Turkish border areas, under the nose of Turkish government . In accordance with different "Outlet Medias" these groups have received supplies from the Turkish Authority or they have received supplies via Turkey. Previously, it didn't appear that the Turkish government have had any concern about these groups being in charge in the border area, towns and villages.
In addition, it appear that Western democratic governments have not objected the Turkish approach, to those Islamic groups. Now the Syrian Kurdish liberation movements have retaken their ancestral land, this initiative should be welcomed by the Western Power, from the democratic movement inside Syria, it has worried Turkey, but they are muted themselves, don't want to upset its NATO Ally. Which West claims that the Turkey has a democratic system, what Kind of democracy? when over 20 millions of its citizens -Kurdish people deprived from basic human right violations and a strict allotments. Certainly, Turkish democracy's practice is neither Athenian democracy nor Jeffersonian democracy, perhaps the Western Powers has purported, a special democracy for its Ally -Turkey from Kurdish hysteria.
Today, the world is witnessing the devastating civil war in Syria, mainly between Bashar al- Assad dictatorial regimes and majority Sunni oppositions with brutal consequences on both sides of conflicts and so far the Kurdish areas have partially been spared, the Kurdish Syrian Parties agreed to jointly to govern the areas. Neither the oppositions nor Assad regimes do approve self- proclaim the Kurdish an autonomous region in the Eastern Syria. If there is no some kind of international protection is provided for self- proclaimed autonomy in Eastern Syria-Kurdistan; the future regimes in Damascus whether would continue to be Bashar al-Assad regime or the majority Sunni sect opposition which both do not appear to believe any minority rights, the probability, it will involve ethnics cleansing which past history has proved that the Kurdish people in that area has greatly suffered, including but limited to deprive from basic human rights, such as educations, citizenships, land confiscation and forceful deportations, etc., at the hand of various regimes in Damascus.
“Mohamed Talab Hillal in Syria, the Baathist Cabinet post Minister in 1963; who planned systematic destruction of Kurdish land in Eastern Syria, who wrote a baseless and unfounded thesis on the Kurdish people, which he set out “Arab Cordon Plan” ( Al Hizam al-Arabi) which envisaged the expulsion of the entire Kurdish population living in eastern Syria. Today the World has witnessed that the racist misguided policy that set out by opaque views that all Syrian people are suffering”.
Minorities in the region continues to face serious threats, discrimination and racism, and are frequently forbidden from taking part replete in the economic, political, social life of their countries.
“Kurdistan was erased from the map after World War 1, when the Allied Powers carved up the Middle East and denied the Kurds as a nation – State,” as far as Kurdish people concern this is a historical betrayal bestowed on the Kurdish nation by the victors of World War 1. The dominators of the sub- colonial states of this land, do not appear to have any future solutions at hand or to say these armed conflicts have failed to achieve any tangible goals. Therefore, we should pursue a different vision for the whole region, the best option that would be a democratic system, along a peaceful process. The Kurdish people have not sought superiority over any other nation; they seek equality, co- partnership, peace and justice for all, but at the same time, they do not accept inferiority either.
“The ideology of racism serves to legitimate the social inequalities between the groups by making them seem “natural” or “right. ”If one can believing, that all tyrannical behaviors are good. Prejudice attitude toward members of another group. These people are regarded with hostility simply because they belong to a particular group, and they are assumed to have the undesirable qualities that are attributed to the group as whole”.
“The Sykes–Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and France,[1] with the assent of Russia, defining their proposed spheres of influence and control in Middle East should the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The negotiation of the treaty occurred between November 1915 and March 1916.[2] The agreement was concluded on 16 May 1916.[3]”
The ill advised, the Asia Minor Agreement between the victors of the World War 1; was unjust to the region and it was devastating results to the Kurdish people and which took Kurdistan out of international stage . British and French governments, both have historical responsibility to re-correct the wrong course, which happened on May 16, 1916; at Sykes-Picot agreement, therefore the opportunity is on horizon, and both governments are capable of reversing at least partially that misguided policy bestowed on Kurdistan.
Today, minority communities face new challenges, including legislation, policies and practices that may unjustly hinder or transgress minority rights.
Erbil agreement should further be enhanced and must continue to be, which was signed by the Kurdish forces and political parties of Syria under the supervision of Kurdistan Region's President Massoud Barzani.
