Seven Kurds Were Among The Dead in Turkish Flotilla, Qaradaghi
SULAIMANI, Iraqi Kurdistan: 7 of the 9 dead people in the Turkish flotilla carrying aids for Gaza were Kurds from Turkey, said Ali Qaradaghi, Secretary General of the International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS).
"I have been informed that 7 of them were Kurds,” said Qaradakhi.
Qaradaghi, himself a Kurd, has given the news first to Rudaw during an Interview in Sulaimani in the federal region of Iraqi Kurdistan.
On May 31, a lethal raid was carried out by Israeli commandos in the International waters of Israel, killing nine pro-Palestinian activists after boarding their vessel from a helicopter.
Israel said that it had warned the Turkish government to halt the trip.
The raid has soured Israel-Turkish relations. Israel has refused to apologize.
However, Dawd Baghstani, a journalist writing on Kurdish-Jewish affairs denied the authenticity of the news publicized by Qaradaghi who was elected head of the IUMS in July.
“There was no Kurd in the flotilla,” said Baghstani, editor-in-chief of the Erbil-based ISRAEL-KURD magazine which is published in Kurdish.



Not only they havn't done that, but they have raped our doughters, killed our songs and banned our language. They have demolished Kurdistan. Only naive Kurds support Arabs!
if kurds had isreal as enemy instead of turkey they now were free and have had their own state.
few examples:
turkey did not recognize kurds and kurdish entity untill present; while isreal never did something similary stupid to palastinians.
PKK do not attack civilians while hamas do not make any difference between children woman old young innocent whatsoever.
kurds /pkk s demands are basic human rights such as kurdish language; traditions;cultural and ethnical identity while hamas willing to anihilate the state of isreal and the nation of isreal and establish palastina as single state.
pkk is a secular party while hamas is an ultra-religious party.
in turkey you can t even give kurdish names to your children while in isreal nobody cares whether you give arabic names to your chilren or not.
in turkey you can t use kurdish alphabet /letter such as "x" ;"w";"q"etc while in isreal nobody cares whether you are writing in arabic or any other language ...
turkey is simply big time worst er than isreal in this context;if we wanted to compare these two states.
and send him to his Arab brothers.
will not eliminate PKK basis in Kurdistan. PKK has support of
millions of people all around the world and we are not just few
hundred horse traders as Turks taught many years ago ,these days are
long over. PKK’s number change between few millions to ten’s of
million all around the world! 3 million people just in Europe supports
the PKK hole heartedly and many millions of more supports PKK in
Kurdistan.
