    SELF DETERMINATION IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR THE WORLD (KURDISTAN OR TIBET)

    In response to the article "Put Kirkuk to a vote, analysts say"
    carried by UPI I have to applaud their findings.

    The current problems between Georgia and Russia date back to the
    drawing of the regional boundaries of Georgia that included two
    completely Russian areas being placed under Georgian jurisdiction. When
    everyone else in the UK was complaining abut Russia's recent military
    actions I was saying that they were defending "Russian people" who had
    been attacked by the Georgian government forces. That border decision
    was made at the same time as Sevres and Lausanne, the division of
    Ireland, the ceding of an entirely Armenian area to Azerbejan. All of
    these decisions, made by utter idiots who bought their commissions,
    has led to over a hundred years of conflict and endless suffering
    for untold millions.

    The bottom line is that the people who live in what can be defined
    as a territory should be able to decide which regional authority they
    wish to belong to. Self determination is the only way forward and so
    it is with Kirkuk.

    And just to annoy the Turkomen who would love to believe that their
    people have been there since the beginning of time, the Persians have
    a better claim on Kirkuk than you have so shut up immediately. So
    how about the people who were there before the Persian Empire? The
    Kurds and other peoples, certainly not Turks who appeared on the
    scene thousands of years later. An independent referendum in Kirkuk
    is long overdue and it would be a constitutional betrayal by the Iraqi
    government if it were not to occur. If that occurred then I guarantee
    another one hundred years of conflict in the area and I will gladly
    contribute personally to it.

    On another related issue may I ask all Kurds at every level, from
    government officials to private citizens, to please take into account
    the feelings and history of the Assyrians and Armenians. Kurdistan
    needs friends and so do they. Individually you are nothing but
    collectively you could be formidable. There is a potentially huge
    common cause of the smaller peoples of the middle-east/Asia minor
    there, use it Kurdistan, Armenia and Assyria.

    At the end of the day I am just another human being who wants to see
    "fair play" but all of us have a voice and it is our duty to make
    that voice heard for Kurds, Armenians, for Assyrians and, yes, also,
    for Turks, Iranians, Syrians and Iraqis. That's what puts us above
    the politicians, we see people not profit.
