(in the current crisis, we urge you to carefully read this series of articles prepared in early 2012 and consisting of eight parts)

Just like the And the 2017 article in the magazine “Strategist”: “The US Should Support the Plan to Create a Kurdish State in Iraq”, the 2006 publication “A New Map of the Middle East According to Blood Ties and Similarities in Faith” are about the plan of Western circles to create a large Kurdish state, which pursues two goals:

a) to create a Kurdish state on the territory of Western Armenia, sub-mandated to Israel and the collective West, and

b) to suspend, once again, for a certain period of time, the implementation of the rights granted to the Armenian people and the settlement of the Armenian Question, following the example of 1920-1921 and 1945.

We have addressed these programs in a number of speeches, publications, and analyses since 2010. Now we find it appropriate to repeat both the publications presenting Western programs and our previously prepared articles on these programs.

Turkey in Ralph Peters’ Article and Maps

(Part 5)

In the article by retired U.S. Army officer Ralph Peters on June 6, 2006, titled “A New Map of the Middle East by Ethnic and Religious Lines,” one of the sections about Turkey reads: “The same will be done by Turkey’s suffering Kurds, who for decades have endured harsh military oppression and the humiliating label of ‘mountain Turk,’ meant to erase their identity. After a brief period of tolerance, pressures have recently intensified again, and this eastern fifth part of Turkey should be considered an occupied territory” (1).

Elsewhere, Turkey is mentioned as “…the Ottoman Empire in madness,” but this is a separate topic and will be addressed later.

The third and fourth mentions are as follows: “Meanwhile, our men and women in uniform will continue the fight against terrorism for security and democracy. The presence of current forced alliances (Ankara and Karachi) even creates fertile ground for the formation of religious extremism and terrorist groups,”

“Who will lose? Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and the West Bank.”

We will focus on the first fragment and the content of the map. On the map, as noted in the article, “the eastern fifth part of Turkey” is included in the future Free Kurdistan state. This effectively represents the first phase of Turkey’s partition. The second phase of Turkey’s partition was discussed in detail in a 2010 interview (2).

Here arises the threat from the ratified agreements between the Republic of Armenia and Turkey, which becomes particularly critical for both countries, since their ratification is important for the West: for Turkey—to initiate the first phase of the country’s partition, for Armenia—to consider the territories of Eastern Armenia (Kars, Ardahan, Iğdır, and Western Armenia) as ownerless and able to be “gifted” (3) to a third party, in this case, the Kurds.

It is evident that the European expert group that drafted these agreements had close ties with Ralph Peters and his expert group, as the documents are mutually complementary and sequential.

Currently, Turkey’s political leadership faces serious issues, which can be divided into three groups:

1. Accommodate Western trends via Ralph’s project and concede the “eastern fifth occupied part of Turkey” for Free Kurdistan. This means first ratifying the agreements between Armenia and Turkey, then implementing military-political obligations before the West along the Balkans—Middle East—Caucasus—Afghanistan line, part of which has already been executed in the Balkans (Kosovo), Middle East (Tunisia, Libya, Egypt), and now is underway in Syria and Iran. Only the Kurdish genocide remains to be carried out, and Ralph’s plan for Turkey is complete.
2. At all costs, preserve Turkey’s territorial integrity, because this is the real issue. The nationalism and Ottomanism of Egemen Bağış and others are essentially redundant. Everyone knows how Young Turk nationalism and Ottomanism began and ended. The problem is not only the country’s partition, but also saving oneself from responsibility, including before international courts.
3. Accommodate the rightful demands to resolve the Armenian Question, return the Armenian homeland to the Armenians, acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, and provide reparations. This would save both current and future generations from the continual cycle of confrontation and hostility. This option may be the hardest to implement, but it is the only one in significance that resolves all issues from the perspective of peace, security, and stable development in the region.

It should be understood that opponents of this path will be more numerous outside Turkey than inside, as was the case with the French Senate’s bill criminalizing genocide denial, when opponents—pseudo-defenders of free speech—were in France and Germany more than in Turkey, including the media, which have a critical role in combating racism and xenophobia (4).

Nevertheless, accommodating the demands to resolve the Armenian Question also implies conducting a civilizational review of history, because only in this way are nations and states truly preserved.
