In Rojava (Western Kurdistan / Northern Syria) a horrible war against the Kurds who seek to defend their homeland from the Islamist aggressors is going on.

Jihadists from all over the world, especially from Africa, Afghanistan, Sudan, Nigeria, United Kingdom, Germany and Turkey have traveled to Syria to found an Islamic caliphate.

But in reality, their main purpose is to prevent Kurds from achieving peace and the success of the 'third way' that have undertaken long ago.
Now a horrible war begun with attacks carried out by aggressive invaders who fight against local fighters for peace. On the one hand is the YPG (People's Defence Units) defending all the peoples who live in Rojava while on the other side are al-Qaeda-linked groups acting in agreement with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) supported by foreign invaders.

The YPG is supported by the Kurdish people and also by most of the people living in Rojava. Instead, the invaders close to al-Qaeda are supported by regional forces that support the status quo and are manoeuvred, supported and used by global colonialism.

These bandits and war criminals, before their attack in Kurdistan, thought that they could take advantage of the experience gained earlier in Afghanistan, Libya and Sudan.

But things had gone in another way in Kurdistan because they were rejected by the YPG with such a force, that they immediately had to recognize that this opponent could not be defeated. They had not entered the war, but they found themselves in the midst of a storm. For the first time they were faced with a regular army whose soldiers for a period of time were going to serve, armed, their motherland. They were now faced with brave men and women who were very firm, who had sworn to defend and protect their homeland from invaders, looters and rapists. In Rojava there is an army of volunteers, which is determined and ready to sacrifice their lives for freedom and homeland.

These looters with their long beards and tunics are deeply immoral and have no conscience. Because after the repeated defeats with YPG, they begun to attack the civilian population.

For this they attacked the villages of Til Aran and Til Hasil and massacred the people especially targeting women, children and elderly people, hoping to break the resistance of Rojava.

It is clear that this is a war between those who are right and those who commit injustices. A war between natives and invaders.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iraq are supporting al-Qaeda and the Salafists by any means, including the supply of weapons and ammunition, logistical support, medicines, care of the wounded and military training. Above all, Turkey has fully opened its borders to these Islamic terrorists.

The Association for Human Rights and Freedoms (IHH), where the term for Justice (Hak) is also a synonym for the name of God, under the cover of humanitarian aid wanted to bring more than 100 people with British passports to al-Qaeda. Here it was discovered that almost all these bearded Islamic experts in the United Kingdom, had problems with justice. Moreover, it was also found that the president of the IHH is under investigation for financial support to terrorism, in particular al-Qaeda.

We know the true relations of the President of the IHH with the AKP, in particular from the assault of the 'Mavi Marmara' by Israeli soldiers. The AKP from that assault on has made available considerable resources to the association.

When the IHH association claims to work for human rights and freedom, says a huge lie. This association has mobilized hundreds of young men from Cewlig (Bingöl), Izmir and Aydin to go to al-Qaeda and has organised their transport. One of these young people was killed two weeks ago in Rojava in a clash with the YPG. He was the son of the former territorial President of the Islamist party Refah of the late Necmettin Erbakan. The corpse of the young man is still in Rojava.

The U.S. and Europe have supported openly and directly the FSA
Now, surprisingly both al-Qaeda that the FSA have reduced their fight against Assad and mobilized forces against the Kurds. Despite the fact that on many issues they are at odds with each other, they have made a pact partly open and partly hidden against the Kurds and their institutions, the PYD (Democratic Unity Party), the High Kurdish Council and the YPG. In this situation of siege, Turkey has closed all border crossings from western and northern Kurdistan. Nothing can go through.

On the other hand the Turkish foreign minister has invited the president of PYD Salih Müslüm in Istanbul for talks and then pointed out that the relations have to be developed and explored. In a formal statement the Turkish government things seemed a bit different. In this statemen it was stressed that the Kurds were warned and urged not to take actions that could pose a danger to the internal security of Turkey. At the end it was said that the real message was that the Kurds had to declare clearly and once and for all which side they are on in the war in Syria.

Are we to imagine that Kurds are not able to understand this deceitful and false game?
The Kurdish National Congress to be attended by brothers and sisters who are resisting the siege of Rojava will take place this month in Hewler. We understood the hostile policy of Turkey, but how are we to interpret the attitude of the government and the forces of South Kurdistan? Because the borders between western and southern Kurdistan is still closed. With these omens we really wonder what kind of Congress we're going to do.

Are we going to side with the YPG, High Kurdish Council and PYD or are we going to fight on the side of the bandits of al-Qaeda and the FSA? We wonder if congress participants will be able to answer this question!

A question is also addressed to the heads of groups, associations and religious federations  who claim that "Kurds have formed an alliance with the Islamic forces. This alliance would find the opposition of Armenians and Alevis".
This question is addressed to intellectuals in general "so sensitive".
While the attacks by al-Qaeda, their Syrian branch al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Caliphate of Damascus are continuing against the population in Kurdistan, which side are you on?
