Page 37 - The Danger of a Communist Kurdistan

The reason why our brothers think like that is previous policies. The alleged ter-
ror organization Ergenekon and those who shared its views constantly humiliat-
ed our Southeastern brothers, never took them seriously and talked down to
them. They behaved most contemptuously toward them. They made it clear in
all ways that they despised and did not want them. They behaved in such a way
as to claim to be much more clever and superior to them. They also tried to
emphasize the idea that being Kurdish was a source of embarrassment.

In other words, they said, "We are Turks, so we are a superior people" but in
genetic terms, rather than moral ones. Their idea was one of, "We are genetically
superior to you. We are your lords. They have placed us over you. You must sub-
mit to your lords." Those dear ones of ours bore that arrogance patiently for
many years. They were beaten and defamed and sworn at. Some of them were
ashamed of being Kurds. They were Kurds but would not admit to it. Ask them
where they were from and they would say, "I am from Ağrı," may God forbid, but
in an icy tone. As if being a Kurd was one of the worst crimes in the world. Those
dear ones of ours really felt inferior because of that, from what I have seen, from
the people I have asked. They say, "I am from the Southeast" but not, "I am Kur-
dish." I have seen that with my own eyes, may God forbid.

These vile types devoid of character so oppressed my dear ones that they put
them in a state of depression. Precautions need to be taken as once to rectify
this immorality and terrible state of affairs. My brother, you are an ordinary
human being, a servant of God. If your moral values are defective, then what
use to you is being Turkish?
Some people think that Islamic Unity raised its head all of a sudden when things
were going really well. They imagined that this strong belief in Islamic Unity
appeared just as they were going to achieve their aims. They panicked. Islam-
ic Unity emerged as a cause just when they thought that all of Turkey was about
to be split up, may God forbid, and when they were about to turn the Southeast
communist. We are now saying, "Turkish-Islamic Union." If Turkish-Islamic Union
had emerged as a similarly racialist idea, had it been based on the idea of the
superiority of the Turkish race, then that ideology would have been defeated
right from the outset, because the whole world can see that this ideology has
been defeated. Everyone knows that. The world would unite as one against the
idea of the superiority of the Turkish race; they would crush it. Nobody would go
along with it. Fortunately, no such claim has been or can be made.

So all that remains is Islamic Unity. Islamic Unity will be hugely invigorated with
