A historical day for Turks, Kurds and people of the region. Hope is greater than ever for ending the conflict between 1000 years old siblings which is fabricated by pagan kemalists and materialist stalinists.
Messages of peace as PM visits Diyarbakır to boost settlement process
16 November 2013 / TODAYSZAMAN.COM, İSTANBUL
Messages of peaces were echoed as Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited southeastern province of Diyarbakır on Saturday in a bid to boost the ongoing settlement process which aims to end the decades-old Kurdish conflict.
Hours before Erdoğan, Massoud Barzani, president of the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq, and popular Kurdish singer Şivan Perwer entered Turkey through the Habur border gate and arrived in Diyarbakır to join part of Erdoğan’s visit.
Diyarbakır Mayor Osman Baydemir and Diyarbakır independent deputy Leyla Zana welcomed Erdoğan at the airport. The prime minister then visited the Diyarbakır Municipality and Diyarbakır Governor’s Office. His visit to the municipality was the first visit he paid to a municipality run by the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP).
Erdoğan is being accompanied by his deputies, Bülent Arınç and Bekir Bozdağ, as well as other government ministers, including Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.
Erdoğan had a brief meeting with Barzani at the Diyarbakır Governor's Office and the two leaders then headed to the Kantar neighborhood where they addressed locals before attending opening ceremonies of newly built facilities and participated in wedding ceremonies.
Speaking at the rally, Barzani said "today is a historic day." "It is now high time to be united in the Middle East. We can take our people to happy days with our unity," he said. Barzani once again voiced support for the Turkish government's settlement process. "I ask my Kurdish brothers to support the settlement process," he added. "Long live Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood. Long live peace, long live freedom," Barzani said in Turkish.
Erdoğan spoke after Barzani, beginning his speech by welcoming the Kurdish leader and Perwer. "Diyarbakır is the city of brotherhood. We are all eternal brothers,” he said.
Erdoğan also called on Diyarbakır’s Kurds to fully support the government’s settlement process. “I want Diyarbakır “to get united against threats and sabotages” and say “enough is enough,” Erdoğan said.
The prime minister also assured Kurds that if they stand behind the settlement process, Turkley will see Kurdish prisoners being released and those who joined the PKK coming down from mountains.
During his speech, Erdoğan also remembered Kurdish protest singer Ahmet Kaya, who was forced to leave Turkey after he became the victim of character assassination by the mainstream media in 1999 and died after having a heart attack in Paris in 2000. "I wish he was also here today," he said.
Perwer and İbrahim Tatlıses, another famed Kurdish singer, also delivered messages of peace after they performed a duet ahead of the rally.
Perwer set foot in Turkey for the first time since he left the country for political reasons 37 years ago.
Perwer had been invited to Turkey dozens of times before but had declined fearing a response from the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which had threatened him in the past, stating, “I will only come if the state, government and the BDP [Peace and Democracy Party] jointly invite me.”
Perwer's legal troubles in Turkey mainly revolve around a song he sang in Kurdish in 1976. The Kurdish identity, including the Kurdish language, faced pressure from the state at the time.
The ruling party hopes Barzani's visit will significantly contribute to the settlement process. Erdoğan earlier referred to the Diyarbakır as “historic,” saying he hopes it will “crown” the ongoing settlement process that aims to end the Kurdish conflict.
Erdoğan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) launched the settlement process last year to resolve the country's decades-old terrorism problem and has been holding talks with Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), since then.
Erdoğan is scheduled to hold a separate meeting with Barzani in the evening to discuss the settlement process, the role of the PKK in settlement talks and the situation of Syrian Kurds.
The Erdoğan-Barzani meeting comes at a time when not only has the settlement process stalled, as the PKK, dissatisfied with government inaction on the democratization program that is part of the settlement process, announced in early September that it had stopped its withdrawal from the country, but also when disagreements between the KRG and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), a Syrian offshoot of the PKK, are deepening.
The KRG has reiterated its discomfort over the PYD's attitude in northern Syria after the announcement by the Kurdish Syrian group of an interim administration that aims to carve out an autonomous Syrian Kurdish region.
The announcement of an interim administration in Kurdish-held areas goes against the wishes of the KRG, which opposes the PYD's creation of a political entity in northern Syria under its own control.

Turkish PM Erdoğan to Putin: Take us to Shanghai
ST PETERSBURG
PM Erdoğan pleads with President Putin to allow Turkey into the 'Shanghai Five,’ in an about-turn from Turkey’s recent re-engagement with the EU
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has again opened up the debate on Turkey’s membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), this time demanding a seat from Russian President Vladimir Putin to save Ankara from “the troubles” of the EU accession process.
Responding to a question over Ukraine’s recent decision to halt a trade pact with the European Union, Putin said the issue had no political dimension and that they would learn from Turkey’s EU experiences.
“We will ask Turkey what we can do. Turkey has great experience in EU talks,” Putin said at a joint conference with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in St. Petersburg. Erdoğan replied: “You are right. Fifty years of experience is not easy. Allow us into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and save us from this trouble.”
Ukraine abruptly abandoned a historic new alliance with the EU on Nov. 21, halting plans for an imminent trade pact with the bloc and saying it would instead revive talks with Russia.
The prime minister said he had conveyed Turkey’s membership request to Putin before. “We care about this.”
Turkey became the first NATO member state to become a “dialogue partner” with the regional body – which is colloquially known as the Shanghai Five – in April. Turkey said the cooperation would strengthen Turkey’s ties with the organization, primarily in the domains of economy and transportation.
The SCO’s members include Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
The issue of SCO membership had come to the political agenda of Turkey earlier this year after Erdoğan said Turkey might opt to join the SCO. Erdoğan raised the issue in January at a time when hopes regarding the EU process were diminishing due to the adamant opposition of a number of members states toward Turkey’s membership.
“I said to Russian President Vladimir Putin, 'You tease us, saying, 'What [is Turkey] doing in the EU?’ Now I tease you: Include us in the Shanghai Five, and we will forget about the EU,’” Erdoğan said at the time. The prime minister’s remarks fueled debates on whether Turkey was moving away from its policy target of EU membership. President Abdullah Gül also reiterated that the SCO and the EU were not alternatives to each other at the time.
Accompanied by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and Energy Minister Taner Yıldız, Erdoğan met Putin and co-chaired the fourth session of the High-Level Russian-Turkish Cooperation Council, where the two sides signed several agreements.
Meanwhile, Putin said Western states must persuade the Syrian opposition to attend talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government which he said should take place as soon as possible.
“Russia took on the responsibility of convincing the Syrian leadership. We did our part. It is up to our partners, who must convince the opposition to do the same,” Putin said at the press conference.
Erdoğan said delays to the peace conference were simply buying time for al-Assad. “The civilian population has been killed with planes, helicopters, tanks and shells. In Syria, the regime bears the primary responsibility for this. On the opposite side, extremist groups also bear responsibility. But they have only short- and long-range weapons. But the regime does not differentiate,” Erdoğan said.

Well, it's the jews. There were many suspicions about Gulen movement and their connections but as a Muslim i choose not to believe until i see it with my own eyes. Masks have been dropped, true faces have been revealed. Thankfully so. Now they have revealed themselves, they are vulnerable.
