 Iraklı Türkmenler, Keldaniler, Süryaniler, Asuriler ve Kürt Yezidilerin ortak bildirgesi

Hükümi varlığı olmayan kadim Irak haklarına insan haklarının düzeltilmesi için çağrı

Biz Irak halklarından Kaldaniler, Süryaniler, Asuriler, Türkmenler ve Yezidi Kürtler, bu ülkeye ait bireyler olarak bir araya geldik. Halklarımız, Irakta yaşayan milletimizi teşkil eden diğer halklar ile birlikte aynı haklara sahip, Irak’ın kadim yurttaşlarıdır.

Halklarımızın her biri, gerçekte mevcudiyetleri Irakta ve uluslararası toplumlarda yeterince tanınmamalarından dolayı, on yıllarca mağdur olmuşlardır. Bu etnik, kültür ve inançlarımızın yeterince tanınmaması hepimizi, ayırımcılık, aşırı derecede kötü muamele ve etnik ve kültürel yok etme ile karşı karşıya bırakmıştır.

Şimdi bizler, ISIS (IŞID)* denilen Şerir tarafından, Irakta ki yerleşkelerimizden sürülmüş durumdayız. Tahrip etmekten ve öldürmekten başka bir şey bilmeyen bu Şerir hayal edilemeyecek bir şekilde halklarımıza saldırmıştır. Çocuklar boğazlanmış, kadınlar tecavüze uğramış ve satılmış, erkekler katil ve işkence edilmişlerdir. IŞİD’e karşı savaş bir dinsel savaş değildir fakat temelde insanlık adına bir savaştır. 

Bu mevcut krizin ışığında, içinde halklarımızın her birinin ülkemizin bir parçası olarak tanınması ve etnik, kültür ve inanç kimliğimizin korunabilmesi yönünde çalışmak üzere ortak bir gelecek için bütünleştik.

Amacımız ülkemizin zengin çeşitliliğini sürdürmek ve katkıda bulunmak ve barış dolu ortak bir gelecek için aynı arzuları paylaşan komşu halkaların çabalarını desteklemektir.

Biz mağdurlar olarak işlem görmek istemiyoruz, biz Irak’ın eşit haklara sahip vatandaşları olarak tanınmak istiyoruz. 

 

Biz; tarihsel (ve hâlihazırda) yaşamakta olduğumuz topraklarımızda komşularımız için korkmadan ve kendi kimliğimizi gizlemeye gerek duymadan Türkmenler, Yezidi Kürtler ve Kaldaniler-Süryaniler-Asuriler kimliği ile Irak’ın eşit haklara sahip vatandaşları olarak tanınmaya ve kendi idari yönetimimize sahip olması gerektiği olduğu sonucuna vardık.

Biz Yezidi Kürtler Sinjar’a dönmek ve orada yaşamak istiyoruz, biz Türkmenler Irak’ta** ki kendi ana yurtlarımıza dönmek ve oralarda yaşamak istiyoruz ve biz Kaldaniler-Süryaniler-Asuriler Ninova yaylasına dönmek ve orada yaşamak istiyoruz. Biz hepimiz kendi yurtlarımızda dışlanmış azınlıklar değil fakat Irak yurttaşı ve Irak’ın kabullenilmiş halkları olarak yaşamak istiyoruz. Bu üzücü durumdur ki şimdi bizler karşı karşıya bırakılmaktayız.

Bu nedenledir ki bizim, hem Irak Kürdistan Bölgesi hükümeti hem de Irak Merkezi hükümeti ile uyumlu olan, yöresel bağımsızlığımızın ve kendi yönetimimizin olması gerekecektir.

Bu; Sinjar, Tal Afar, Tezehurmatu, Tuzhurmatu, Kifri ve Ninova bölgelerinde kendi meclisimizi seçecek ve bu meclislerin sorumluluğu altında kendi savunma gücümüzü oluşturacağız. Bu meclislerle biz kendi yönetimlerimizi kontrol edeceğiz***. Meclisler bu bölgelerde ki yaşayanlar söz sahibi olacaklar ve temsil edileceklerdir. Hepsi de eşit demokratik ve temel haklara sahip olacaklardır.

Bu bildirgede bahsedilen bölgelerde ki halklarımız**** ayırımcılık nedeniyle kendi gelişimlerinde geri kalmışlardır. Bu bölgeler için halklarımızın paylaşacağı Irak’ın varlıklarından özel yatırım fonuna ihtiyaç olacaktır. Daha fazlası, IŞİD’in sebep olduğu hasarlar ışığında AB’yi ve ABD’yi, bu bölgelerde gerektiğinde yeniden inşada kullanılmak için, kısa süreli ortak bir yeniden inşa fonu tahsis etmeye çağırıyoruz. Halklarımız bu fonlarla kendi topraklarını yeniden inşa etmek için çalışmayı dört gözle bekleyeceklerdir. Son olarak AB’den Irak’a tahsis edilen mevcut AB fonunu bizim halkımızın da paylaştığını gözlemesini talep ediyoruz. Bu yeni uygulamayı önerirken komşularımızdan izole edilmiş bir şekilde yaşamak istemiyoruz. Biz halklarımızın Iraklı Arap ve Kürt komşularımız birlikteliğimizi devam ettirmek istiyoruz. Dünyamızın muhteşem mozaiği, medeniyetler beşiği Ortadoğu’da, değişik halkların oluşturduğu emsalsiz birliktelikle yaşamak bizim en derin arzumuzdur.

AB’yi ve ABD’yi biz halklarımızla ve Kürt Bölgesel Yönetimiyle ve Irak Yönetimiyle birlikte çalışarak bu hedefleri gerçekleştirmeye davet ediyoruz. Kürt Bölgesel Yönetimini ve Irak Yönetimini, Irak’ın kültürel zenginliklerini muhafaza etmek ve başarıya ulaşmak için, bu sonuca ulaşmanın önemini idrak etmesini talep ediyoruz.

Joint Statement by various YEZIDI Communities regarding the YEZIDIS in Northern IRAQ

Joint Statement by various Yezidi Communities

Recent Kurdish media reports and seems to be very interested about the Yezidis’ ethnicity, so the KRG in northern Iraq has exposed an escalating conflict among the innocent Yezidis in Northern Iraq and particularly in Sinjar regions. Several Kurdish political leaders including junior mullah Barzani have expressed that the innocent Yezidis are Kurdish and must be Kurdified; therefore, this expression has increased the tension and will be going as far as a very possible civil war between the two Yezidis groups: “The Yezidis who consider themselves as ‘Yezidis ethnically and religiously” and “the Yezidis who have accepted the ‘kurdification’ and consider themselves as ‘Kurdish’ in ethnicity.”

Mr. Tahsein Saed, who consider himself as the Yezidis’ prince in Iraq and around the world; he and four other members of his team who pretend themselves as religious leaders of the Yezidis on Tuesday, September 21, 2010, they (Tahsein Saed, Khato Esmael, Slaeman Sivo, Barakat and pishmam Faroq) issued and signed a statement for the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) stating that all the Yezidis are Kurdish! We, herein the under singed Organizations disapprove their statement and also most of the Yezidis in Shaykhan (prince’s own region) disapprove the statement that was issued by these traitors. Even though Mr. Tahsein Saed is only the prince of Shaykhan and he does not represent all the innocent Yezidis in Iraq, around the world and particularly the Yezidis in Sinjar region at all, because this prince (perpetrator) is “not” our prince; we strongly disapproved their statement while we see them as traitors / perpetrators and just trying to selling our peaceful Yezidis’ culture/ethnicity for money and personal interests.

However, the prince was an Arab in ethnicity in the past during Saddam Hussein’s regime; presently he is Kurdish under KRG or junior mullah Barzani’s regime and in the future???

Even though, during the previous Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, the same dictator/ defector (Prince Tahsein Saed) issued and signed the same statement for Saddam stating that all the Yezidis are Arabs in ethnicity. Therefore, we see this Perpetrator (Tahsein Saed) is really mentally ill for the sake of money and personal interests. Whatsoever, our nationality/ethnicity is very important for all of us (the remaining innocent Yezidis ethnically and religiously); we are human being and not “material products” to be bought/sold by defectors such as Mr. Tahsein Saed and his team members.

Therefore, “We (The under signed Organizations) want to make it clear for the world, world leaders and International Communities that Mr. Tahsein Saed does not represent all the Yezidis in Iraq and around the world (he is only the prince of shaykhan region). He does not represent the innocent Yezidis in Sinjar regions at all!” Presently, Mr. Tahsein Saed only represents those Yezidis who “joined” the Kurdish culture and accepted “Kurdification” with him. Despite all their bad behaviours towards “the innocent Yezidis,” we ‘congratulate’ Prince Tahsein Saed and his followers in their new path of life; they are free to make choices for themselves for whatever they want to be, but “not” for all of us (The innocent Yezidis)!

In the past two decades, the Kurdish leaders have always failed to recognize the true nature of the Yezidis ethnicity as a distinct ethnic group from the Kurdish, because of their political and geographical interests. In many of these so called disputed areas there were very few Kurds to be found before the fall of Saddam Hussein (previous regime). In the Nineveh plain for example, the percentage of Kurds was less than 5%, but now, they have expanded their new Kurds settlements into the disputed areas (Nineveh, Kirkuk and Diyala provinces) by hundreds of thousands of new Kurdish settlers illegally and by militia forces while they see Central government is weak. The KRG and its leaders are doing all of these evil tactics in these areas to annihilate our ancient history and to be annexed to the KRG, this should be very clear to the International Communities. In fact, the stretch of land bordering line with the KRG is mostly dominated by the Yezidis, Chaldo-Assyrians, Turkmens Shabaks and Kakais. Instead of acknowledging this fact Kurdish political groups have launched a violent campaign to describe the innocent Yezidis and other minority such as Shabaks as Kurds in ethnicity while we are totally culturally different from the Kurdish; forcing Kurdification on us (Yezidis) against our will is crimes against humanity and human rights are being committed by the KRG Officials and its militia forces in the disputed areas.

The KRG and its militias are today used to instil fears in minority communities inhabiting border areas with the KRG in order to ensure compliance with KRG expansion technique while oppressed in the past, at present the KRG’s regime is much worse than Saddam’s regime, the Kurds have grown and become themselves the new dictators / oppressors in Iraq especially in the disputed areas seen from our perspective. Any census in the near future (December 5, 2010) of disputed areas carried out under KRG and its militias’ presence will not be free and fair, as we have seen the KRG and its evil tactics during the past federal and provincial elections, when one person voted for more that ten times and we have evidence of that. Therefore, we ask the US, UN, UK, EU, Russia and all other International Communities that the census in the disputed areas must “NOT” be conducted with the presence of the KRG and its militias (bloodshed creators), the census “must” be conducted with International Communities’ presence in everywhere in the disputed areas, “if the International Communities have faith in freedoms and democracy.”

While most of Iraq is becoming secure for all Iraqis, including vulnerable non Muslim communities such as the Yezidis, Chaldo-Assyrians, Kakais and Bahais, the clear and violent expansion plans of the KRG has been threatening to destabilize Iraq, its neighbouring countries and severely affect all of us (the vulnerable Iraqi minorities) who live in the disputed areas that are being violently claimed by the KRG and its dictatorial regime. From being a centre of stability the KRG has turned into the major source of instability in Iraq since 2003 and continues its violent aggression acts in every part of the disputed areas.

We the undersigned Organizations are calling upon the US Congress and the Department of State of religious and ethnic freedom, UN, UK, EU, Russia and all other International Communities to put pressure on the KRG to refrain from all acts of crimes and violence against innocent Yezidis and all other Iraqi minorities and withdraw its militia forces from all areas outside the KRG and “STOP” describing the remaining innocent Yezidis as Kurds, because we are NOT!

We also call on Kurdish leaders to respect the rights of all minorities and including the remaining innocent Yezidis as distinct and independent religion and ethnic group.

Minorities and Iraq’s Parliamentary elections 2010, and Kurdish irregularities in disputed areas

Hereunder is a Communication from the representatives of the Yezidi community in Canada:

Minorities and Iraq’s Parliamentary elections 2010, and Kurdish irregularities in disputed areas

This 2010 elections is the third elections that the Iraqis will have, during the 2005 and 2009 Iraq’s parliamentary and provincial elections, the minorities such as the Yezidis, Chaldo-Assyrians, Sabeans, Kakais, Turkmen, and Shabaks; these ethnic groups had a high hope that they would have equal rights, freedom and share the government responsibilities in their ancient homeland.

During Iraq’s parliamentary elections in 2005, the KRG Officials threatened the Yezidis and paid 25,000 Iraqi dinars which equalled to about $ 20.00 USD at that time for each Yezidi vote they could get; thousands of the innocent Yezidis could not buy foods and drinking water for his/her family members, therefore, they would vote for whoever give them any amount of money. And many people in the KRG region voted more than 10 times by dipping their finger in special oil and then in ink, and also many of the election observers marked more than 100 election tickets.

During the last provincial elections of 2009, the KRG did its brutal tactics of buying votes, threatens Yezidis to vote for the KRG list and relocate more than 35,000 Kurdish families to the Nineveh province from Dohuk, Erbil, and Sulimaniya and gave them fake ideas to be able and vote for the KRG list (Ninawa brotherhood list) and nominated 8 Yezidi candidates and threatened them as soon as they are elected, they have to vote for the referendum that Yezidis’ regions become a part of Kurdistan.

The 2010 Iraq’s parliamentary elections are on its way to come on March 07, 2010, and the minorities are hesitating again as they did in the last two elections, because of election frauds and ballot boxes did not reach many of the minorities’ regions, there were a lot of irregularities by KRG and its illegal militias. Now in the Yezidis’ regions of Sinjar, more than 90% of the election observers are members of KDP or PUK, from the 90% there are about 85% of those are uneducated persons and 5% of those are school teachers who are members of either Kurdish political parties and are being fired from their teaching positions temporary and have been accepted as an election observers to make their part frauds for the KRG’s interest.

The KRG has tried many evil tactics against the Yezidis and other minorities such as to convert those unique ethnic groups into their bloody culture or leave the region. The most worst and funniest things happening in the Yezidis’ regions in Sinjar are these: The KRG and its kuridified militias are telling innocent Yezidis this time a “Yezidi person” is worth only a blanket or a turkey, therefore vote us and get your preferred prize, and if you get your prize did not vote for KRG, you will have to be convert or leave, this time the KRG will spy on Yezidis in this regions.
For these elections irregularities by KRG and its officials, who will be worthless? The “political leaders” who pay the prizes or the “hungry person” who is in need of foods, water, basic human rights and freedoms, securities, etc. as a human beings and if you think of humanity, I strongly believe the worthless persons are the “political leaders” who give out prizes to buy votes from innocent person/persons against his or her will.

The Yezidis and Chaldo-Assyrians are the oldest ethnic groups and have lived on this land for thousands of years now, but we now see we are being forced leave our unique and traditional cultures by Kurdish mostly and other extremists and terrorist groups. When the United States, UK and other coalition forces removed the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein from the power in Iraq, at that time the coalition forces loudly said “equal rights, freedoms, and share of government power” are for all and every Iraqis, they did not say that they will support the Kurdish terrorists of Barzani and Talabani’s organizations against the innocent ethnic groups such as the Yezidis, Chaldo-Assyrians, Turkmen, and Shabaks in the disputed areas (Mosul, Kirkuk, and Diyala provinces) in Iraq.

We Yezidis have found themselves just like blind, mute, and deaf persons between the Arabs and Kurds, with both sides trying to persuade us into backing their cause across a swathe of disputed areas. This has left many of the Yezidis and other minorities unclear about how to vote.

In the Sinjar Mountain and regions, which is connected to Syria border, where the Yezidis make more than 85% of the population; we Yezidis have complained many times to International Communities, that we are afraid of both Arabs and Kurds. We are still alive and see that we and our possessions are being divided between the two.

In the Iraqi constitutional laws, there should be one seat to a minority ethnic and religious groups for very 100,000, the Yezidis alone are at least more than 650,000 thousands and got only one quota seat, therefore, it should be clear to the International Communities, the Iraqi government doesn’t follow its own laws, so how it would protect its non-Muslim religious and ethnic minority groups such as the Yezidis, Chaldo-Assyrians, Sabean and Kakais. So therefore the question is that, where are those International Communities who said they take responsibilities for equal human rights and freedoms?

We Yezidis live in a very complicated situation, we see KRG’s politicians are killing us and sucking our blood and the International Communities keep themselves very silence as they don’t see and hear us. And particularly we fear about our future, what will happen when the United States pulls out its military and still support the bloody Kurdish plan against the innocent minorities in the disputed areas of Iraq. The US knows very well that when its pulled, there would be fighting between the Arabs and Kurdish and also the United States and other International Communities know for sure the victims of this fights would be the innocent Yezidis, Chaldo-Assyrians, Shabaks, Turkmen, and Sabeans. Therefore, the US knows minorities’ issues will be complicated and irresolvable by Iraq’s government, Arabs and Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite. So the question is that who will be responsible the situation.



In the Nineveh province, where Mosul is the capital, is the most multi-ethnicities in Iraq such from Yezidis, Christians, Arabs, Shabaks, Turkmen, and Kurdish and the Kurds don’t even make up 10% of the population in this province and in the Yezidis’ region of Sinjar the Kurdish population is less than 4%, and therefore, what is the presence of Kurdish militias (terrorists) are doing in these regions (disputed areas)?

The minority ethnic groups are being tortured or killed on the daily basis since the 2003 and these brutal acts are still continuing; we minorities are the victims of power balances between the Kurdish militias and Arab extremists. Although the UN, US, UK know that the problems of the disputed areas of Iraq will never be solved unless they remove the brutal and violence creator of Kurdish militias.

So the question is that, what would be the rewards that the US, UK, and France would receive if the minorities are annihilated in the disputed areas in Iraq. The Kurdish say they have been promised by the West to have their own country, that is okay, we are not against them, but as Yezidi and minority, we have lived and survived for thousands of years on this land as God created us. Therefore, we Yezidis don’t want to be a part of this bloody Kurdish plan period. Why is it so hard for junior mullah Barzani and Talabani to understand?


There are only two Yezidis political parties (Yezidis Movement for Reform and Progress and Yezidis Progress party) in Iraq.

Our Advices to all Yezidis to go and vote for one of the Yezidi political party, you make the choice and you make the changes for a better and safer Iraq to live in!
