The Invisible War in North Kurdistan The Invisible War in North Kurdistan Kristiina Koivunen 2 The right to healthy living is an essential and non-transferrable basic human right which is guaranteed by our constitution. The utilisation of our health care services by every citizen when he/she needs them, the elimination of regional inequalities, and recognising and raising the health level of our people are some of our basic aims. Through the establishment and management of health information as required, health care services can be directed and monitored in line with our aims. (Dr. H. Ibrahim Öksöy, Minister of Health, 1995) The reason for diseases is poverty, but not only poverty; it is simply the policy of the Turkish state to destroy a nation. Not only to go and shoot and kill them - there are also other methods.(a Kurdish woman) 3 Kristiina Koivunen [email protected] ISBN: 952-10-0644-7 (Internet, PDF) 952-91-4994-8 (Publication) 4 The Invisible War in North Kurdistan List of Abbreviations / List of Tables Acknowledgement 1.

It has been very difficult to get advice both in the scientific part of the research and in how to emotionally face the enormous suffering of people. Most of the support I have got came from the Kurds. Whether slumdwellers in Amed or intellectuals and top politicians in Europe, they have encouraged me and been thankful to me for my interest in their people in undertaking this research. Although many Kurds have confided in me, their thankfulness has surprised, even irritated me. In these modern times it should be self-evident, not a special gesture to be thankful for, that in Europe the situation of people living under armed conflict is surveyed. Especially when it is not a question of a minor group, when the victims number in many millions. For critically reading and commenting on this research I want to thank Antti Karisto, Anna Maria Viljanen, Omar Sheikhmous, Haluk Gerger and Shahrzad Mojab. Especially I thank previewers of this study, Pertti Multanen and Raija-Leena Punamäki. Also I want to thank Jyrki Käkönen and Östen Wahlbeck whose comments on my licensiate dissertation helped me to understand the theories connected to genocide and ethnocide. My lisenciate dissertation "Health care in the shadow of cultural genocide in Turkish part of Kurdistan" was a draft of this research, here the empirical part is quite the same, but I go further in the theoretical part and in explaining the situation. Many discussions with my sister Tarja Tiainen have helped me to formulate the research questions in fresh ways. Kurds have helped me to understand their situation by explaining both large and small issues to me, and by researching information and creating contacts. As I can not speak Kurdish, and know only elementary Turkish, they have translated both interviews and written material for me. For the sake of their security I can not publicly thank people who have helped me in Turkey. Many of my Kurdish informants living in Europe prefer to stay anonymous as well. Some people I will mention: Necla Açik, Dicle Anter, M. Emin Bozarslan, Hanefi Celepli, Celadet Celiker, Zerdest Haco, Memed Üsel, Fatma Yasa and Rahsan Yorozlu. The Free Women Movement of Kurdistan (Yekîtiya Azadiya Jinên Kurdîstan, YAJK) I thank for the practical help its members have given to me. 11 Special thanks I owe to Brian Krueger and Laimdota Mazzarins who helped me with the English language. I want to thank NorFa (Nordic Academy of Advanced Study) for their grant by which I could spend five months doing this research in Sweden during spring and summer 1998.

  • Virtual Assyria Dan Lundberg
    Virtual Assyria Dan Lundberg (The content of this site is based on data collected 1996-1997) Illustration: Ann Ahlbom Sundqvist Introduction (2010) Some comments on the re-publishing of this study of Assyrian cultural activities on the Internet – more than 10 years later. This study is based on fieldwork and other data collections that I conducted during the second half of the 1990s. I can truly say that I was impressed by all the web enthusiasts that were striving to create a transnational Assyrian community – a "cyber nation" on the Internet. However, the development has been incredibly fast during the last decades and today (2010) it is hard to imagine the almost science fictional impression that ideas about cyber communities gave back in the nineties. When looking back at the development of the Internet it seems as if the "cyber space" that was announced on the home page of Nineveh On-line 1997 has become less virtual over the years. Today we are living in both worlds – using the Internet for shopping, reading, finding information, communication, playing, dating, etc, etc.The boarder between virtual and real often appears to be diffuse and in fact, not so important any more. Svenskt visarkiv shut down this website in 2008 because we felt we could no longer guarantee that all links were relevant and functioning. The lifespan of articles online can sometimes be quite short. However, we have received many requests to publish it again, an indication that the content is still regarded as important.

This speech was not only of great importance because of its contents and coverage, but also because it was based on precise data and historic scientific evidence. In his speech Dr. Nebez covered various subjects, e.g. pre- Christian ancient history and the mythology of the Kurds, the cultural height and depth of the Kurdish people in the shadow of the numerous expeditions by alien peoples through Kurdistan, the astounding variety of religions in Kurdistan, with special stress on syncretism as the most striking feature of the Kurdish religious culture, delineating syncretism as inherently different from mixed religions. As an analytically thinking scientist (physicist) the speaker did not get stuck in the past, nor was his speech 3 Jemal Nebez The Kurds; History and Culture an archaeological presentation, but an Archigenesis, which in fluent transition reaches from past epochs to the present situation of the Kurdish people.

  • Armenian Involvement in the 1925-1946 Kurdish Rebellions in Republican Turkey: Trying to Map the Origins of “Hidden Armenians
    Armenian Involvement in the 1925-1946 Kurdish Rebellions in Republican Turkey: Trying to Map the Origins of “Hidden Armenians By: GARABET K MOUMDJIAN Abstract: The history of Armenian-Kurdish relations extends over centuries. In the 1800’s, Armenians were involved in the Kurdish rebellions in Kurdistan proper. The rebellions were crushed by Ottoman military might.1 After the Armenian Genocide of 1915, a new phase of Armenian involvement in yet a new episode of Kurdish rebellions ensued in Republican Turkey. This new collusion lasted all the way to the late 1930s. The aim of the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation, AKA Tashnagtsutyune) at the time was twofold: Dispersion into the Middle East was considered to be a temporary sojourn and the ARF was adamant in its thinking that Armenians should repatriate to their historic homeland. The ARF attempted such an adventurous plan due to its knowledge that many pockets of Armenians—ergo, what would later become known as “Hidden Armenians”—existed in the Eastern Provinces of the newly established Turkish Republic. Toward the end of World War II there was some optimism that the Soviet Union could reoccupy some of the historical Western Armenian lands and incorporate them into the Soviet Armenian Republic. The ARF, regardless of its ideological opposition to the Soviet Union at the time, agreed to a détente with its arch-enemy for such a nascent purpose. Having access to archival material from republican Turkey, the Soviet Union, Armenia, France, Britain, as well as the memoirs and letters of some prominent ARF leaders involved in the Kurdish rebellions of the time creates a unique opportunity to present a more detailed account about the period under.

It was really an interesting statement to me; it made me think of two things, the first one is the intention behind this statement, while the second was the attitude of Kurds, especially Kurd musicians, towards researchers and researching. As for the first thing, I felt that there was a problem, maybe a social or psychological, of the Kurdish people in general, and the musicians in particular.

At the moment of writing, the strategy, targeted towards both the majority and the minority populations, is on the verge of becoming implemented within all the municipal administrations and the whole municipal system of governance, so it is still to tell how much it will influence and change the current situation in the municipality. Population and demographics Botkyrka is a municipality with many faces. We are the most diverse municipality in Sweden. Between 2010 and 2012 the proportion of inhabitants with a foreign background increased to 55 % overall, and to 65 % among all children and youngsters (aged 0–18 years) in the municipality.2 55 % have origin in some other country (one self or two parents born abroad) and Botkyrka is the third youngest population among all Swedish municipalities.3 Botkyrka has always been a traditionally working-class lower middle-class municipality, but the inflow of inhabitants from different parts of the world during half a decade, makes this fact a little more complex.

  • Kurdish Identity-Making: Instruments and Possibilities During the Last 100 Years in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey
    Kurdish identity-making: instruments and possibilities during the last 100 years in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey The research is based on a historical, comparative analysis of the Kurdish nation-building process. Three different periods are included in the comparison. First of all, the end of Ottoman Empire (meaning the beginning of Kurdish initiatives) and Atatürk’s era is presented. The second part makes an attempt to analyse the new wave of Kurdish revival process from the 60’s (doguculuk) and the appearance of Kurdish armed groups, as well as the rise of PKK. The final part focuses on the contemporary developments, by putting an emphasis on the AKP-led government’s era which created a new atmosphere in order to solve this Kurdish question by launching a programme called ‘Kürt acilimi’. This paper endeavours to mark the cornerstones and features of the Kurdish nation-building process, by emphasizing the role of the creation of myth, traditions, and history: how the different generations of Kurds tried to establish a common culture.
