KURDS HUMANITARIAN ATTITUDE  TOWARDS MANKIND , ANIMALS AND PLANTS .

Tehran - July 29, 2008

 As you might  know , it has been scientifically   argued by many potential and expertise scholars as well as  political and demographic researchers , that Kurds in Kurdistan territory of Middle East  with approximately 50 million population , are the largest nation  , which are deprived from independence and simultaneously are divided among 5 countries               ( Except a jelly and unstable autonomous region in Iraq)  . From other side , Iraq itself is generally  occupied  by USA and its allied coalition forces !!!.

 There are many heterogeneous causes , that  have created  this unpleasant catastrophic situations  for Kurds , which include  Kurds' own honesty , compassion , altruism , benevolence plus geographical location  and religious ardent  devotion  etc ; but from many points of view , Kurds' peaceful and friendly character, is the main cause  of their  defeat  in the political arena of the globe .

 Unfortunately , most of the world  has been transformed into a chaotic  jungle for survival struggle competition   , in which either you must choose to act as  a ferocious  wolf or like an   innocent  lamb  . Honestly speaking , Kurds have chosen the second choice , so always they  are apt to be slaughtered by wolves and other homicide  beasts in the world jungle  ; consequently they   have lost the political  and strategic game.

 As a few outstanding  typical examples  of Kurds' peacefulness and humanism attitude , I point out to some points , which can be called the   fabulous facts about Kurds' humanism living  procedure and their kind interaction with others :

 1-     They have no historical record of aggression to neighborhood countries at all  .

2-     They have   never committed the occupation of others' territories .

3-     Have always respected the ethnic  minorities of Kurdistan , such as Assyrians  Jews , Armenians  etc .  

4-     The real freedom of religion is prevailing there  , for example there are Sunni , Shiite , Kakaie ( Yaristan) , Yazidi , Zoroastrian , Christian , Nestorians etc, exercising their faith  .

5-     Kurdistan is a safe asylum refuge for others , for example the Bahais, who  are fleeing from Shiite areas of Iran , in fear of prosecution ,  take refuge here in Eastern Kurdistan  , even  most of them stay  there  for ever .

6-     Is an asylum refuge for those neighbors , who are fleeing from famine and starvation , for example in 1940s   , a lot of famine stricken people from Azarai districts  of Iran , came to Kurdistan in search of food  , which they were generously  welcomed , some of them did not return to Azarbaijan at all  and stayed in Kurdistan for ever . Let me say , some of them  became Kurds .

7-     During  general and total exodus of Iraqis fleeing from Saddam's  threat , millions of Iraqis  got refuge there temporarily . They were very warmly received , catered and provided with suitable shelter and accommodation .

 Above points were mentioned about peacefulness/kindness of Kurds in relation with   human beings  , but Kurds are peaceful and friendly  with animals , too . As a vivid   example , I relate  the following  fact : Once I was traveling around Rezan River in the so called Federal Kurdistan Of Iraq   . I was quite surprised when , I saw herds of wild animals , like gazelles , antelopes , rabbits , foxes  etc and miscellaneous wild birds , such as partridges , pigeons ,   gooses ,  ducks and other species of animals , which were grazing and roaming  fearlessly and without any precautionary stress  at the road sides and  rivers etc  in very close distance to us . I was astonished by this circumstances and asked the driver : "Why these wild animals are not afraid from us " ? He replied  :" In this region ,  hunting/fishing ( wild animal killing) is completely prohibited , so they have accustomed to have  no fear from us .

 In addition  to this attractive phenomenon and circumstances, he told me :" Even here , cutting and eradication of trees , bushes  and other plants are also forbidden, so in these mountains , valleys ,  and hills ; the  trees , flowers and other kinds of  plants are excessively abundant .

PS: As we see in above factual examples  , Kurds are peaceful and friendly  with human beings  , animals and even with plants ; which is the token of their  high and elegant humanitarian moral standards , but unfortunately we know , that  Kurds  are suffering from most cruel and  merciless chemical and other fatal kinds of bombardments , mass   killings , jails , tortures ,  various  deprivations  and other miscellaneous dangerous annihilation and ethnic cleansing  etc  . 

 So , this is the exact obligation  of  UN and other world responsible bodies , to attend this situation and find a remedy for this pathology , which as I said , has resulted from Kurds' mercy , humanitarian culture and kind behavior .
