However, since TSK has been bombing inside the South Kurdistan border for over a year now, you might say that there is a bit of a de facto "security zone" along the border inside South Kurdistan due to Turkish aggression.<BR/><BR/>These bombings are acts of war by Turkey against Iraq and is just as illegal as the US invasion of Iraq and Israel's invasion of Lebanon.<BR/><BR/>Will Barzani and Talabani accept a Turkish "security zone" deep into South Kurdistan? Your guess is as good as mine. It most likely depends on what kind of deal is offered to them.<BR/><BR/>What I think will be a more likely scenario, is that the Ankara regime will extend OHAL to the rest of occupied North Kurdistan, especially if they will be able to use it to prevent Kurds from voting on July 22.<BR/><BR/>The regime has already been working hard to block and delegitimize the Kurdish vote in preparation for the presidential/parliamentary election.<BR/><BR/>Will the "international community" accept these machinations as consistent with "democracy?"<BR/><BR/>Bet on it, because democracy is a bad joke, especially as applied to the Kurdish people.Mizgînhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850990661771197094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-21151677758291388922007-06-07T12:32:00.000-07:002007-06-07T12:32:00.000-07:00When the Turks say they have established a securit...When the Turks say they have established a security zone near the border, does that include part of Iraqi/South kurdistan land? I think their aim is to eventually create a security zone deep in South Kurdistan. If this occurs, will the Kuedish leadership in Iraq (Messrs Barzani and Talabani sp?) accept this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
