Chapter 654 Kurdistan

For the Turkish government, the PKK is an out-and-out terrorist organization and a separatist organization. The purpose of this organization is to divide Turkey's territory and turn it into an independent country! This is absolutely impossible for any government that pursues territorial integrity to agree to!

Therefore, the attitude of successive Turkish governments towards the Kurds has always been to suppress them. Are there Kurds in Türkiye? Of course not! Türkiye only has mountain Turks!

Most of the Kurds are very honest and accept the status quo. They are ready to have their culture assimilated by Türkiye. However, there are a few Kurds who want to engage in acts to split the country.

For example, now.

The Kurds clearly raised the banner of rebellion! And the first place where they started the rebellion was Van!

No matter how the Turks suppress them, it is impossible for them to wipe out all the Kurds like in the Armenian genocide with tens of millions of Kurds. The city of Van is a traditional Kurdish gathering area, and most of the hundreds of thousands of people here are Kurds!

In the early morning of that day, the Turkish garrison near Van was suddenly attacked by an unknown armed group. When the local garrison was still asleep, a large number of terrorists with AKM assault rifles and masked faces rushed in! The Turkish garrison wanted to resist and asked for help from their superiors. Unfortunately, then, a rumbling sound came, and they were surprised to see that this terrorist group actually had tanks! How did the Kurds get the tanks? How were these tanks transported?

For the garrison, these questions no longer had answers. When the T-55 tanks rumbled in, the local garrison knew that the situation was over. They only had light weapons and could not fight against tanks, even the most backward tanks!

So, after a brief resistance, the remaining garrison surrendered obediently!

Originally, they thought they could save their lives by surrendering, but unfortunately, they were too naive. After surrendering, the garrison was tied up, and then they were shot by the Kurdish youths who had just joined the PKK armed forces! This can train the courage of the new recruits and allow them to completely break with the current government and fight wholeheartedly for the establishment of a Kurdish state!

The shooting lasted for a full hour! Afterwards, the PKK entered the undefended city of Van. At this time, the Turkish officials in Van who had heard the news had already fled. Would they wait to be shot by the Kurds if they didn't run?

They left an empty city behind! The PKK, which entered the city, lowered the red-bottomed crescent-star flag of Turkey and burned it, then raised the red, white and green tricolor flag, which was very similar to the Tajik flag.

Once upon a time, Ocalan wanted to capture cities and establish the Kurds' own country, but the Kurdistan Workers' Party was too weak and could not grow stronger!

Now, with weapons supported by the Soviet Union, they have expanded their army. More importantly, because of the conflict with Greece, the Turks transferred their troops in the east to prepare for possible conflicts, resulting in a lack of troops in the east. These eastern garrisons were originally intended to deter the Kurds.

In the government building in Van, Ocalan sat in front of a TV camera and issued a solemn statement to the Kurds in various Middle Eastern countries, to the Turkish government, and to the whole world.

"For thousands of years, the suffering of the Kurdish people is finally coming to an end. We grew up here, but were not taken seriously by any country. We Kurds have always been slaughtered by various governments! Countries want to assimilate us, especially the Turkish government! They don't recognize us at all. They actually say that we are just mountain Turks! Our Kurdish nation will disappear completely. Fellow countrymen, are you willing to watch our nation disappear completely?"

"No! We grew up here, we have thousands of years of history, and we have the right to continue living here! If we want to maintain the independence and freedom of our nation, then there is only one choice, to truly build a country of our own! For this ideal, countless Kurdish youths have sacrificed their lives! Once our cause begins, it will never stop! And now, in Van, I declare that our Kurds' own country, Kurdistan, has been established! We Kurds also have our own country! We are not mountain Turks, we are upright Kurds! We are an ancient nation with a long history and culture, and we are the masters of this land! For our Kurdistan, we will continue to fight and consolidate the fruits of our victory!"

"Kurds everywhere, take up arms and defend our country! The Turks will never give up their evil deeds of enslaving and assimilating us, and they will definitely fight back! However, we are confident that we can defeat the Turks because we are righteous!"

Kurdistan! The homeland of the Kurds! For this country, I wonder how many Kurds will join the army and fight bloody battles!

After the establishment of Kurdistan, the Soviet government recognized this country at the first opportunity and established diplomatic relations with Kurdistan. Although Kurdistan now only occupies the city of Van, their development prospects are very broad!

After the battle of Van ended, Ocalan, who occupied Van, gave a TV speech that greatly boosted the morale of the Kurds! On the same day, thousands of people in Van went to the conscription office and joined the armed forces of Kurdistan! At the same time, Kurds from other places were also heading towards Van!

At the same time, Ocalan was not satisfied with the existing results. After continuing to recruit manpower, the Kurdistan Workers' Party launched an attack on the nearby Qavash in the south, taking advantage of the Turks' failure to react to capture more territory!

There are mountains all around here! Fighting in the mountains is the nightmare of any regular army, but the Kurdish armed forces are familiar with the terrain. They have countless people as guides, and they are the masters living on this land!

The armed forces of the Kurdistan Workers' Party launched a coup in an attempt to split off Turkey's territory and establish a Kurdistan! This news quickly spread throughout the world, including the heads of state who were meeting at the NATO headquarters.
