Syrian Kurds Welcome Russian Anti-Terrorism Operation

75
The Kurds welcome the military activities of Russia in Syria and hope with its help to gain freedom, reports RIA News Statement by the Chairman of the International Union of Kurdish Public Associations Merab Shamoyev, made on the air of the Latvian radio Baltkom.


Young Kurd, Kobani, 2015

“We support the participation of the Russian Federation in the fight against this monster, the Islamic State.” It is one of the most brutal organizations, the plague of the 21 century. I hope that this struggle will bring freedom to the Kurdish people. Why do I support Russia? Because the Western coalition led by the United States could not change the situation in the region ",
said a public figure.

Shamoev assured that the Kurds will continue to fight, but they now need Russian support.

“If today we will be provided with military assistance from the air and provided with ammunition, the Kurds will be able to seize the so-called capital of the IG - the city of Rakka. And I really hope that such assistance will be provided to the Kurds ", - he said.

Earlier, Vladimir Putin said that the only force that really opposes the Islamists is the "Syrian government forces and the Kurdish militia."

      Kurds must come to terms with Assad. We do not need a new series of civil war. Support should go with the participation of the central government.

          I think that’s all that goes for! And then the normal relations of the Kurds with the Syrians are thought out!
          And it is also taken into account that the Kurds are against today's Turkey! (against NATO)

              Turetsky slowed down just like the South, our tourists will not be refused in any case.
              It is necessary to solve the Kurds, it is mutually beneficial, considering that this problem still needs to be solved sooner or later

              And there’s nothing to spoil ... There is no good relationship ...

              During the Chechen wars, the militants were trained and "repaired" on the territory of Turkey, and the Turkish government knew this beforehand ...

              When the fuss (after the refusal of Bulgaria) with the Turkish stream began, I still said that it’s not worth contacting them ... As a result, Russia incurred enormous material and financial costs ...

              Now, from the very first days of the reunification of Crimea with Russia, they mutter about the oppression of the Crimean Tatars ... In their opinion, there was no oppression in the "Ukrainian" Crimea ...

              And indeed, having looked at history even superficially, the Turks were never just friends to us - they were not just good neighbors ...

              And our tourists, damn it, feed their economy ... And - not sickly ...

              So we do not spoil relations with them, but they also need the same Turkish stream with us as we do. In addition, there is nothing to supply ISIS weapons. USA, England and Turkey (the NATO block) with Saudi Arabia are the main sponsors of this abomination.

        It's a little complicated here ... It is necessary that not only the Kurds - with Assad, but Assad - with the Kurds find a common language ... If Assad does not stupid and finds a compromise with them, then he will get a faithful, faithful (if this is possible in the East ) friend and ally ...

        Now Assad, Kurds and Russia are opposed not so much by the states with their "coalition" as by the Saudis, Qataris and Turks, financially (and not only) supporting any movement against Assad ...

            Earlier back in the USSR, Turks were supported, specifically the regime of Mustafa Kemal, a third of the historical Armenian territory conquered by Russian troops, Turkey was presented free of charge. Kurds, by the way, actively participated in the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Ask any Armenian.

        The question is who the Kurds will be with. And it will turn out like with Israel: at first they were with us, then they became against us. They are very close to Russia - a hot topic. The shaded area also passes through the Armenian lands, from which the Armenians were driven out (often destroyed) during the genocide.

          and what does it mean - with whom? They have a definite utilitarian goal - the creation of a sovereign state-va. And the PKK, as far as I know, is not excluded from the terrorist lists. So - be careful in choosing allies. What Kurds welcome there or not is the tenth matter.

          Hmm ... East is a delicate, insidious and dangerous business ...

          NOW they (the Kurds) will be with those who really support them in the struggle for (!!!) the creation of their own state (well, in the worst case, to start more or less sovereign autonomy within the same Syria) ... And then ... It’s very difficult to predict prospects in the East ...

          I can cynically say: if Russia helps them become independent, and then for some time will support them in all respects, then in the next 5, or maybe 10 years, they will be her friends ... And then - only Allah knows .. .

        A volunteer from Donbass, now in Syria, with the call sign "Timur" has handed over to the "Russian Spring" a summary of the military operations of the ATS army and Russian aviation on October 4.

        During October 4th the military situation in Syria remained tense.

        Some large Islamist groups in the provinces of Hama, Homs, Latakia and Idlib have sufficiently coordinated their activities in order to distribute areas of responsibility in view of the threat of a decisive offensive by government forces. While some are preparing for attacks on large cities and terrorist attacks, others are engaged in the equipment of defensive positions.

        Damascus is still under threat, in the areas of Aleppo, Idlib, near Zabadan, north of Homs and south of Hama, a rebranding of militants is underway.

        Militants continue to threaten Damascus, seeking to hold down a group of Syrian troops here. Meanwhile, Islamist formations continue to regroup their forces in the areas of Aleppo, Idlib, the ceasefire zone near Zabadan, as well as north of Homs and south of Hama. According to militants, they came here to strengthen the group of terrorists Al-Qaeda *, Jebhat al-Nusra * and the Islamic State *.

        Part of the so-called “brigades” established cooperation with these groups. The Syrian Free Army. It is the terrorists from Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State that are behind the “appeals” of “moderate opposition leaders” to the American and Turkish governments asking them to put pressure on the Russian Federation to stop air strikes or to supply them with anti-aircraft missile systems capable of hitting modern Russian aircraft.

        ISIS terrorists in the Raqqah area retreat to the Turkish border.

        However, the front of fanatics in Syria is still far from unity. Thus, the Islamic State groups in the Raqqa region, after the first Russian air strikes, prefer not to focus on sending reinforcements to the Islamists in the Idlib and Aleppo regions, but on retreating to the Turkish or Iraqi border.

        Militant groups in the areas of Palmyra (Tadmor) and the Golan Heights (border with Israel) also prefer to pursue their own interests. Rather, the interests of their owners.

          Continued:

          In the area of ​​Palmyra there are heavy battles.

          As you know, geographically important routes converge in the Palmyra region and fields of gas fields are located. As for the Golan Heights, control over them is crucial for the security of the Israeli state. Here, due to generous financial injections and military-technical support of seemingly antipodes such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, the sponsors managed to create an extremist group that almost exceeded the size of government forces. In a number of sections of the Syrian Arab army at the Golan Heights, they had to go on the defensive. Over the past day there were heavy battles with varying success and heavy losses on both sides.

          The strikes of the Russian air forces demoralize the terrorists.

          However, the main demoralizing factor for all, without exception, terrorist groups in Syria are the attacks of Russian aircraft. Despite mutual hostility, the leaders of various radical groups with the same severity, on pain of death, forbade their bandits to discuss, both on air and just in conversation, the number of losses incurred due to attacks by Russian aircraft. The presence of such indications is reliably confirmed both by Syrian intelligence and by captured or surrendered militants.

          Over the past day, Russian aviation hit at least 9 targets.

          Among them: ammunition depots and a militant communications hub in the area of ​​Tell Bis, as well as a command post a few kilometers from Er Rastan. Strikes on accumulations of equipment and

          The operation of the Russian Aerospace Forces against terrorist groups in the Syrian Arab Republic continues.

      It’s not worth counting on the help or even the gratitude of the Kurds - it’s not that people, if they suddenly have their own state, they will immediately begin to squabble among themselves for power, while one part will ask for help from the Turks, the other - from p. .... s, the third - in Russia and a multi-million people who never in history had their own state will never have it - the mentality is not the same

        The Turks will never go to autonomy, rather destroy the Kurds, remember the story:
        The leadership of the young Turkish Republic has taken a clearly chauvinistic position in relation to the national minorities of Turkey. The Kurds responded with an uprising, brutally suppressed. In June 1927, the Grand National Assembly passed a law on the resettlement of Kurds from the eastern vilayets to the western ones. Over the course of several years, "several thousand participants in the 1925 uprising were resettled.
        The persecution and physical extermination of the Kurdish population has become the official state policy of the Turkish government. Laws issued in Turkey in the 30s, especially after the suppression of the Kurdish uprising in the Ararat region (1930-1931), aimed at killing the sense of national dignity and identity in the Kurds, accelerating the process of assimilation of the Kurds.
        The Kurdish uprising in the Ararat region (Agridagh) was led by Ihsan Nuri Pasha (commander of the armed forces) and Ibrahim Husky (head of the civil administration). The Turkish government disrupted negotiations with the leaders of the uprising, refusing to recognize the Kurdish national rights. During the uprising, Kurdish armed units managed to capture a large number of Turkish officers. as well as military equipment. Several planes of the punitive group were shot down. It was possible to break the resistance of the rebels only after the complete exhaustion of the forces of the Kurds. As a result of brutal repression, 165 Kurdish villages were affected. 7716 houses were burned. 8664 Kurds were killed, mostly children, women and the elderly. Many men died in battle, and some took refuge in the mountains. The leader of the uprising, Ihsan Nuri, hid in Iran.

        As far as I know the history of relations between Turkey and the Kurds, this is an eternal struggle for the independence and statehood of the Kurds and harsh pressure and suppression from the Turks. In this development of events, the Kurds have a concrete opportunity to realize their centuries-old dream (independent Kurdistan), but do not forget about project "Turkish Stream". I'm sure our Foreign Ministry will decide everything "amicably", maybe the time has really come to change the "resolver" to (as you put it on the BV) Gaddafi in Libya (who performed this function with dignity in the BV) to a new leader who should appear in the new Kurdistan, or already exist in Syria. hi (my humble opinion, assumption). I want to believe hi
        PS Yes, and Colonel Gaddafi immediately no one took seriously. hi
        PPS Well, admit, could you suggest at least half a year ago about the development of such events, so everything is rapidly happening and changing. hi Everything is possible under the moonlight yes

    With the Kurds, everything is not so simple, but fact is fact - this is a real force, and with a strong participant one must, if not make friends, then certainly not be at enmity. They can really affect events in several countries. But as far as Raqqa is concerned, it would be great if the Kurds managed to take him. Bagdasarov says they almost succeeded, but "the Americans dissuaded." I hope they won't dissuade me this time.

    Personally, I like the calm but confident Kurdish pragmatism. You can be friends with such people. Their behavior is most similar to the formula "who comes to us with a sword ...".
    I am in favor of uniting the Kurds and the government forces of Syria. Together they will win without a doubt. One by one they will suffer heavy losses and the outcome of such a struggle is unclear.

      And the fact that we are aware that in the Fatherland our grandfathers and great-grandfathers overwhelmed such a strong enemy, such a well-functioning powerful military machine as the German does not honor the Germans, but our grandfathers and great-grandfathers.

    It is interesting how possible the situation for the Middle East is if Syria, Iraq, slowly created by Kurdistan (as a subject of international law), let Lebanon, be united into a single confederate SECOND state. So cut everything on autonomy or cut off pieces of territory from the country to create a new state, few will be divided from existing states. But if you cut off and then unite in a confederation ...
    On the other hand, the devastation and remnants of very ancient times in the East are still very strong and such a confederation is very at risk of falling into a civil war for the power of various religious and national tribal groups.
    But if you dream here. How would such a confederation wipe the democratic nose of the West.

      Well, in principle, the Kurds themselves do not know what they want. Either a state, now four autonomies with a confederation, then leave everything as it is. The concept of "statehood" is not familiar to them, and they do not strive for this. They also seek to benefit from the Syrian chaos - if Assad wins, he will be forced to go for democratic reforms, and the Kurds will receive their autonomy. If Assad deflates and the chaos does not stop, they will still get autonomy, as in Iraq under Saddam in 92, when he left the north.

        The question of Kurdistan, assembled from all parts is just a sore point for the states of the region. After all, then they (especially Iraq) will have to shrink strongly geographically and in the depths. To do several autonomies in different states is also a delay in the inevitable unification of such autonomies in the future. And it is still not known what kind of blood.
        But to lead this process ourselves - together to create (even within Syria + Iraq) a united Kurdistan with the simultaneous creation of a common confederation with a single government - that is, the creation of a common multinational state ... That would be the topic. This would be on the principle: if you can’t interfere, head.
        But I understand that the region is clearly not ready for such a civilizational leap. Even if you think over and create with the help of Russia, there are very big doubts that this association will live long.

    The Kurdish problem is very old.
    The famous Salladin (Salah ad-Din) was a Kurd from Cilicia. The Kurdish problem is well described in the book "The Diplomat" by James Aldridge.
    The Kurdish language belongs to the Indo-European languages. The words "to be" and "to give" sound very interesting - "bootie" and "dati", respectively. And, of course, today the interests of the Syrians and the Kurds coincide.

    Kurds may well get their state after this mess.
    The Soviet Union and Russia support the Kurds and this is far-sighted. In reality, most likely Iraq and Syria already agree to such a state. For Iraq and Syria, the question is survival and something can be sacrificed here.
    However, Iran and especially Turkey will be obstructed here to the last. Especially Turkey. She cannot bear the split and losses. This easy strain is beneficial to Russia.
    That is why the Turks so vote and scream in violation of airspace.
    But they have nothing to do! They do not take fully to Europe. The EU is kept in the backyards. NATO will not join here.

    The state of Kurdistan can arise unequivocally. On parts of Syria and Iraq ....... which will create a threat to Turkey and a constant conflict between Turkey and Kurdistan! I think under certain circumstances part of Iran could also enter Kurdistan, in exchange for part of Azerbaijan! those. Part of Azerbaijan will be part of Russia (Karabakh (by the way, the conflict is extinguished), plus northern Azerbaijan (to Dagestan) as a corridor to Armenia, (Karabakh), plus Nakhichevan. Part of Iran ... including Baku! ...... Under the current policy of Azerbaijan, its division is absolutely possible ... especially since it is the former territory of Persia, ceded to Russia! Thus, Turkey and Azerbaijan lose!
    But whatever happens, the strength of the Kurds is growing ... and they will not give up theirs! In all this mess, Turkey will lose the most ... but they have played up on the interests of the USA, ignoring their interests

    First, this statement is made without reservation that the Kurds will welcome Russian bombing against ISIS if the Russian Aerospace Forces will support the Kurds. Kurds remember Soviet support for Saddam Hussein and his gas attacks on Kurdish villages. At the moment, they proceed from the principle "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", fighting with all who turn weapons against them.

    Relations with Turkey and Iran have just been established, the Kurdish issue can destroy this idyll for a very long time. Comrade Stalin was about to resolve this issue. And instead of hostile Turkey and Iran with American bases, they would have received friendly Kurdistan. Did not work out.
    Although here, not everything is so simple. Kurdistan resembles Yugoslavia very much: five ethnic groups and three faiths. And how the southern bros let down and let down Russia is known.
    It should also be borne in mind that the Medes lost the championship to the Persians many thousands of years ago. Just as Kiev lost the championship to Moscow. Does Russia have the right to intervene in the established order of things?
    Americans probably think they have that right. Better they stuff the bumps.
