Error by Washington and Moscow
by Thierry Meyssan
Washington and Moscow are working together to develop the military
strength of the Syrian Kurds, allegedly to combat Daesh, but in reality to
fight President Erdoğan, whom the two great powers would be happy to
remove. But the apprentice dictator of Ankara is preparing to turn the tables.
He has begun to re-shuffle the population at the Syrian frontier in order to
catch the Turkish Kurds in a vice, and is preparing to use his Syrian Kurdish
spy, Salih Muslim - armed by the United States and Russia – to create a
Kurdistan in Syria to which he can expel the Turkish Kurds.
VOLTAIRE NETWORK | DAMASCUS (SYRIA) | 3 JUNE 2016 
In December 2015, the United States and Russia made an agreement to
bring down President Erdoğan.
From the Russian side, it’s the support of Erdoğan’s friends – the NGO’s IHH and İmkander— for
the Caucasian jihadists from 1995 to the end of the year 2000, then, today, the
personal support by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for Daesh, and finally the
planned destruction of a Soukhoï over Syria last November which have triggered their anger. Given that
the Turco-Mongol empires were always the historical enemies of Russia, Moscow
is not worried about the future of the country, but want only to overthrow its
chief whatever the cost.
The United States, on the other hand, make a distinction between Turkey,
a allied member-state of NATO, and President Erdoğan, an autocrat
who is bathing in delusions of grandeur and stamping all over Western ideals.
Overthrowing him is a necessity, partly in order to be able to continue
presenting NATO as the defender of democracies, and partly because no leader is
allowed to defy Washington without being punished. The CIA already caused him
to lose the elections last June by creating the HDP from nothing , but was
overtaken by the massive ballot-rigging during the elections in September.
Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin thus agreed to support the Syrian Kurds
against Daesh, thinking that in the end they might come to represent a military
force capable of disturbing the machinations of the apprentice dictator of
Ankara. And in fact, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vehemently condemned the Pentagon’s support for the YPG (People’s Protection Units), the visits to
Syria by the Commander of the anti-Daesh Coalition, Brett McGurk, and the head
of CentCom, General Joseph Votel. Consequently, the Turkish secret services
(MIT) have stepped up their aid for Daesh to help it resist the invasion.
But it seems that the White House and the Kremlin have misread their
adversary. Far from considering the development of the YPG as dangerous,
President Erdoğan has integrated it into his strategy.
The Americans and the Russians wrongly believe that the Syrian Kurds
form a united group. But in reality, the YPG is the armed branch of the PYD
(Democratic Union Party), which has two co-Presidents - a woman, Asya Abdullah,
and a man, Salih Muslim. Asya Abdullah is faithful to the principles of
Abudllah Öcalan – the founder of the PKK (Kurdistan Worker’s Party) – and
intends to create a Kurdistan on Turkish territory. Salih Muslim is a traitor
who, in a secret meeting at the Elysée on the 31 October, negotiated an
agreement with Presidents Hollande and Erdoğan.
In these conditions, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan intends to
turn to his own advantage the trap that is being set for him by the US and
Russia.
On his instructions, the police and the Turkish army are currently
carrying out operations against the Kurds of the PKK. These forces of
repression have already destroyed several villages and terrorised the
population of several others, forcing them to flee. Over the last few weeks,
this campaign of terror has provoked the displacement of the Kurdish
populations of a number of Turkish villages situated at the Syrian frontier.
The White Palace then offered their houses to Syrian Sunni refugees whom he
thinks are favourable to the jihadists. This is how the transmutation of the
population along the Turco-Syrian frontier began.
In order to understand what President Erdoğan is doing, we
have to remember that at the end of the 19th century, Sultan Abdülhamid II – who also wanted to homogenise the
Turkish population - encouraged the Kurds to expel the Christians, even to
massacre them. This programme continued and grew in force with the arrival of
the Young Turks, who massacred a million and a half Pontic Greeks and
Armenians. The end of this programme supposed that the Kurds should be the ones
to be expelled this time, and be replaced by Turks, or, failing them, by Sunni
Arabs.
This is the programme that, in 2011, France agreed to implement with
Turkey, hoping to limit the massacres. According to a secret Treaty signed by
the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the time, Alain Juppe and Ahmet Davutoğlu, Paris and Ankara were to create a new state in Syria in order to
dislodge the Kurds of the PKK. This is the agreement that François Hollande agreed to apply by
organising, at the Elysée, the meeting Erdoğan-Muslim. And
it is this agreement that Washington and Moscow, without knowing it, are in the
process of completing.
