ISIS, Syria, and Turkey’s New War on the Kurds

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey—It was nearly midnight on July 23 when a slew of Turkish police officers raided Mehmet Cedinkaya’s home and detained his 17-year-old mentally disabled son, Azat.

Earlier that day in their poor neighborhood in Diyarbakir, the de facto capital of the country’s southeastern Kurdish region, assailants had fatally shot one police officer and injured another. Azat was one of 17 suspects taken into custody.

“He doesn’t even know how to talk or count,” said Cedinkaya when I spoke with him a couple weeks later. “He’s just a boy who was playing outside on the street [at the time of the attack], and they took him to terrorize us. … This is all a part of Turkey’s war against the Kurds.”

That war, in turn, is part of a complex web of regional alliances and existential struggles. Three of the most potent forces in the region today—the rise of ISIS, the Syrian civil war, and political flux in Turkey—have placed the Kurds in an especially precarious position, with consequences for the fate of one of the Middle East’s largest ethnic groups. The durability of Turkish-Kurdish peace and the very future of Turkey are also at stake in the fight.

The day before the shooting in Diyarbakir, two more Turkish police officers were killed near the Syrian border in an attack claimed by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a Marxist-inspired Kurdish separatist group that has been fighting an on-again, off-again insurgency against Turkey since 1984. That conflict has claimed an estimated 40,000 lives.

The shootings of the police officers were retaliation for a July 20 suicide bombing in the border town of Suruc that killed at least 32 people. Many of the victims were youth activists who had been planning to travel to Syria to help rebuild the Kurdish town of Kobani, which has seen intense fighting between Islamic State and Kurdish fighters. While the Islamic State is believed to have been behind the Suruc bombing, the PKK has blamed Turkish officials for collusion in the attack. Turkey’s Kurds have long criticized the government for what they perceive as inaction against ISIS inside the country and along its border. What’s more, many Turkish Kurds accuse the government of supporting the Islamist militants against Kurdish fighters in Syria—an allegation the Turkish government denies.

Turkey has since launched a bombing campaign against PKK rebel bases in the mountains of northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. According to AFP, nearly 40 members of Turkey’s security forces have died in the latest flare-up of fighting with the group.

Over the past decade, relations between Kurds—a disenfranchised minority that makes up a fifth of Turkey’s population—and the Turkish government have improved dramatically, as both sides have invested in a peace process that aims to bring the protracted conflict to an end. But with a two-year ceasefire now broken, many here fear a further delay in meaningful reconciliation, which leaves people like the Cedinkaya family caught in the crossfire.

At around 40-million strong, the Kurds are the largest stateless ethnic group in the world. They stretch across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, and have faced discrimination (and far worse) in all countries.

Ever since the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, the Kurdish minority has sought more rights. After the disintegration of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire, which led to new nation-states but not to a Kurdish one, the republic embarked on a nationalist agenda of “Turkification” that eschewed pluralism. “How happy is the one who says, ‘I am a Turk,’” declared Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey and object of an enduring national cult of personality. Kurds weren’t able to speak their language in public until 1991. Broadcasting in Kurdish was banned until 2002. In 2013, the government lifted a prohibition on the usage of the letters Q, X, and Y, which appear in the Kurdish but not the Turkish alphabet. To this day, many Kurdish children don’t have access to Kurdish-language education.

In Syria, amid the civil war, Syrian Kurds have carved out their own territory with the PKK’s support. Though the PKK is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union, the U.S. and EU have found an ally in the PKK’s Syrian sister organization, known as the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG). The YPG has proved vital in the international military campaign against the Islamic State, but the Turkish government has long been reluctant to aid the Syrian Kurds for fear that their gains could revive the PKK’s own desire for greater autonomy and threaten Turkey’s territorial integrity.

After the Suruc bombing in July, Turkey finally reached a deal with the United States to help fight the Islamic State, but it has since concentrated more on PKK targets in a two-pronged “anti-terror” war that many see as paradoxical and counterproductive. “There is no difference between PKK and Daesh [ISIS],” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said last month.

Many accuse Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of reviving the fight against the PKK in the hopes of appealing to Turkish nationalists who have traditionally opposed the Kurdish minority, and thereby politically engineering his party’s chances of winning elections that could be held soon if a coalition government cannot be formed. In an election in June, widely considered a referendum on Erdogan’s rule, his Justice and Development Party (AKP) was denied a majority in parliament, losing ground to a pro-Kurdish rival, the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), that has widened its base by appealing to Turkey’s minorities, women, and the LGBT community. The HDP’s elected leaders are now being threatened with arrest as the government accuses them of “terrorist links.”

“We refuse to let [Erdogan] drag us into a war for his own politics,” said Omer Onen, the co-head of the HDP’s Diyarbakir branch. Like many Kurds, Onen said he never fought alongside the PKK. But he was jailed in 2009 and spent three years in prison on charges that he was involved with the group and engaged in terrorism. “There’s collective punishment and psychological warfare against Kurds, and the people are scared.”

Erdogan’s is a risky political gamble, warned Steven Cook, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. The Turkish president stands to benefit only to a point.

“The problem is that no one can return to the negotiating table until they exact some blood from the other party,” he said. “Sadly, mostly Kurds—but also Turks—are going to pay a price.”

In Diyarbakir’s Baglar district, almost everyone knows someone who has paid a price. In the past year, many residents have been killed fighting in Syria with the YPG, the PKK’s sister organization, against the Islamic State’s advances.

“You can’t separate the situation for Kurds in Syria from Kurds in Turkey,” said Felek Hayme, clinging to a red butterfly hair clip and green floral scarf that her 24-year-old daughter was wearing when she was killed in a rocket attack in Syria in June. The scarf still reeked of smoke.

“The fight in Syria and the fight in Turkey is a fight for Kurdish dignity,” she argued.

Silan—a girl “more brave than all of the boys,” her mother proudly noted—was detained in 2008 for waving a flag of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan while participating in an International Women’s Day rally in Diyarbakir. She was later sentenced to six and a half years in prison. She fled before she could be jailed and joined the PKK, later taking up arms alongside the YPG.

“All of our young people, the beautiful ones, the smart ones, have gone to the mountains,” said Hayme, using euphemistic shorthand for joining the PKK. “It’s the only option for them: What else are they going to do here? There’s nothing for the Kurds here. … There’s no dignity.”

Onen, the HDP official, argued that the latest spate of violence between the Turkish government and the Kurds could shape—and scar—a young Kurdish generation whose members feel increasingly frustrated and hopeless. Unemployment is highest in Turkey’s predominately Kurdish southeastern and eastern regions (17 to 24 percent, respectively, compared to a national average of 10 percent in 2014), and many Kurds complain of poor educational opportunities and widespread discrimination.

“We want to give youth another alternative … we don’t want them to only go to the mountain,” he said. “We want them to see they can get more freedom politically. But, of course, proving that is difficult right now.”

A 26-year-old Kurdish medical student, who had gathered with friends at a Diyarbakir café to watch soccer, put it to me like this: “Everyone here has thought about joining the PKK, but there’s not only a war in the mountains. There’s an everyday war in the streets of claiming your rights and … of making something better of yourself,” he told me (he refused to give his name for fear of retribution from his university). “This struggle makes life beautiful because it reminds us of its value … but it always weighs on us.”

It’s a struggle to which Abdullah Demirbas says he’s dedicated his life. The charismatic former municipal mayor in Diyarbakir—who is always quick to mention that The New York Times Magazine profiled him in 2008—has long campaigned for more political and cultural rights for Turkey’s minority groups. In response, Turkish authorities have leveled so many charges against Demirbas that, as The New Yorker reported in January, “His lawyer told him that if he lost every case his combined prison term would be four hundred and eighty-three years.”

As the head of Diyarbakir’s teachers’ union for 18 years, Demirbas fought for a more inclusive national school curriculum. In 2007, he was removed from his post as mayor for further lambasting Turkey’s education system and calling for basic public-service information to be printed in the Kurdish language. He was reinstated as mayor in 2009, but soon afterward spent five months behind bars on what he claimed were trumped-up charges, including supporting a terrorist organization (the PKK).

“How can you invest in people, especially the young who have always known war, if they’re constantly being held down?” he asked last fall while we walked around Sur, the ancient central district of Diyarbakir. He noted that many young people, like his own son seven years earlier, see no other choice than to leave for the mountains.

Demirbas said he remained hopeful for a more democratic and multicultural Turkey, but was worried that a dark period lay ahead. Still, he was confident that his own days behind bars were a thing of the past.

Earlier this month, he was once again arrested.

His wife and other son, who recently finished serving compulsory national military service—an agonizing, existential reality for many Kurds—refused to comment on the case, citing security concerns.

“No one is immune anymore, especially leaders like [Demirbas] who are a source of hope,” said Abdel Selem, the regional secretary for the Diyarbakir branch of the Human Rights Association, a Turkish NGO. “Being Kurdish continues to be a crime, something that needs defending against.”

Cedinkaya, for his part, said he had barely slept for weeks after failing to protect his detained son. He feared his son would be forgotten behind bars like so many others—a haunting fate he never thought would befall his apolitical family.

“We’re just simple people. We haven’t fought a day in our lives. We don’t even go to rallies or protests,” he told me. “We’re just tired … tired of waking up and wishing we were born somewhere else.”

Russia jails ′abducted′ Estonian security officer | News | DW.COM

Wednesday August 19th, 2015 at 10:00 AM

1 Share

A Russian court sentenced Estonian policeman Eston Kohver to 15 years in jail on espionage charges Wednesday, further stoking tensions with Estonia.

Russia claimed Kohver was caught on Russian territory as he carried out an undercover operation last September.

But Tallinn maintains that Moscow's security services kidnaped him at gunpoint at a border crossing on Estonian territory as he was investigating a cross-border crime.

A court in the western Pskov region, which borders Estonia, sentenced Kohver on charges of spying, weapon possession and illegally crossing the border, according to his court-appointed lawyer Yevgeny Aksyonov.

Relations between Russia and Estonia, which has a large ethnic Russian minority, have deteriorated since Moscow's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine last year.

Estonian policeman 'deprived of a fair trial'

Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas criticized the sentence, saying: "I strongly condemn (the) verdict on Eston Kohver; his illegal detention constitutes a grave violation of international law by the Russian Federation.”

The EU said Kohver's detention in Russia was illegal and called for his immediate release.

EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement that Kohver "has been deprived of the right to a fair trial: There was no public hearing of the case."

"Mr. Kohver's abduction and subsequent illegal detention in Russia constitute a clear violation of international law," she said.

Kohver will serve his sentence in a Russian hard-labor camp and be fined 100,000 roubles (1,280 euros/$1,525), Aksyonov said outside the Pskov regional court, where Estonian and EU diplomats had gathered to protest the conviction.

Russia's Federal Security Service, successor to the Soviet KGB, claimed that Kohver was detained while carrying a Taurus handgun with ammunition and 5,000 euros ($5,500) in cash, together with special equipment for concealed audio recording and documents that "bear evidence of an intelligence mission."

Estonia denied the claims and said he was taken while trying to stop illegal activity on the border when unidentified abductors jammed radio communications and used smoke grenades.

'Suspicious' timing of arrest

Many in Estonia believe the timing of Kohver's arrest was deliberate as it came just two days after US President Barack Obama visited the Estonian capital of Tallinn to trumpet Baltic security following Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis.

Estonia and other former Soviet republics in the Baltics, which now belong to both the EU and NATO, have urged both organizations to take a tough stance toward Russia over its actions in Ukraine.

The West says Moscow is sending troops across the border to support separatist rebels in Ukraine, a claim Russia has repeatedly denied.

Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania emerged from nearly 50 years of Soviet occupation in the early 1990s and joined NATO and the European Union in 2004 in an attempt to bolster security amid tense relations with Moscow.

There are concerns among these Baltic countries that Russia may try to destabilize their nations, like it did with Ukraine, under the pretext of trying to protect their large Russian-speaking minorities.

30 Million Illegal Immigrants in US, Says Mexico's Former Ambassador

Mexico’s former ambassador to the U.S. said that 30 million “undocumented immigrants” are living in the United States in the beginning of an interview before later stating a different number at the conclusion. The former diplomat, Arturo Sarukhan, took to MSNBC to attack presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s recently released plan to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants. The MSNBC clip began with presidential hopeful and Florida Senator

claiming that only 12 or 13 million illegal immigrants are in the country.

The former ambassador stated,” If you were to deport the 30 million undocumented immigrants in the United States that’s going to cost you about 130 billion dollars.” Contrary to the former ambassador’s initial numbers and to Rubio, MSNBC showed an image while Sarukhan spoke claiming 11 million illegal aliens were in the country. Sarukhan then stated later in the interview that there are 11.3 million illegal immigrants in the country, though he did not address his former assertion that 30 million are here. Many conservative and border watchdog groups have long contended that the actual number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. is closer to 30 million while the U.S. government contends the number is closer to 11 million.

Notes

• This is a revised and updated version of the 2010 edition.

Date Posted:      August 18, 2015

Compiled and reviewed by Hayden B. Peake.[1]

In his foreword to MI6, the then chief of service (“C”), Sir John Sawers, writes that the book “is a landmark in the history of the service.” And indeed it is, by any measure. Although the service was officially recognized in 1994, only Alan Judd’s 1999 biography of Sir Mansfield Cumming was based on official MI6 files.[2] This is not to say that prior to 1994 the existence of MI6 was a well-kept secret. In 1992, publication of The Spy Who Saved The World[3] revealed MI6’s contribution to the work of Oleg Penkovsky in great detail while identifying the principle officers involved. The following year, British intelligence historian Nigel West unofficially surveyed the many MI6 officers who had published their memoirs.[4] What distinguishes Keith Jeffery’s book from these earlier works is its more broad timeframe and his unrestricted access to MI6 archives. MI6 confirms and corrects the record, although not the entire record.

As Jeffery makes clear in his preface, while his access was unlimited, what he could write about was not. The primary restrictions were the timeframe, 1909-1949, and the prohibition against identifying certain agents, officer, and operations. By stopping at 1949, the book could mention Kim Philby of the Cambridge Five only in connection with the Gouzenko case. Likewise, VENONA had to be excluded. With respect to naming individuals, Jeffery could not use names unless they had been officially released, even if the names appear in the public domain. Jeffery explains the reasoning with the comment that unofficial sources were often “unsubstantiated assertions in sensational and evanescent publications” or what he more colorfully terms the “sub-prime intelligence literature.” (p. xii)

These limitations aside, MI6 is an astonishing work of scholarship. It reveals the development of the service from its one-man origins, through WWI, the interwar period, and WWII. The latter brought great challenges, first with the abolition of the Z Organization—which controlled nonofficial cover officers—under Claude Dansey. Then came the formation of the SOE (Special Operations Executive), the work of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, and the initial loss and subsequent rebuilding of British worldwide espionage capabilities. MI6 concludes with the transition from a wartime structure to its Cold War organization. About one third of the book concerns administration, and the balance covers operations.

Along the way some colorful Brits make an appearance. Examples include Sir Paul Dukes, who operated under the noses of the Bolsheviks in Russia, and Wilfred “Biffy’’ Dunderdale—fond of fast cars and a friend of lan Fleming—in France, whose fluent Russian aided in the debriefing of the first Soviet defector, Boris Bajanov, Then there was Haline Szymanska, the wife of a Polish military attaché and “friend” of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, the German Abwehr chief. She served as an agent for the Poles and MI6, and Canaris arranged for her escape to Switzerland, though Jeffery does not mention the rumor that she was also his mistress. She also had links to Allen DuIles. When she informed him that the Germans were reading his cipher, he continued to use it until Claude Dansey, then the assistant to “C,” told the MI6 head of station to remind “the fool [Dulles]” of the fact. Subsequent communications were passed through British channels. (p. 511)

This is just a minute sampling of the hundreds of stories Jeffery tells in MI6. In this revised edition he has added details to the adventures of Sir Paul Dukes, SIS’s role in the Rudolf Hess defection, and on the agent NANNYGOAT’s links to a Romanian network. Finally, he describes in detail a case omitted entirely from the first edition—the Volkov case, which threatened to expose Philby and other Soviet penetrations of British intelligence.

MI6 is a most valuable addition to the literature of intelligence.
