ZANA SIDI / KOBANÊ

The military operations against the Kurdish people and the destructive acts of nature in Kurdistan continue in the countries of Iran and Turkey, and the common goal remains between the two governments, which is to eliminate the culture of the Kurdish people and its history of thousands of years.

The acts of sabotage of the ruins in Mosul and the Syrian Palmira by ISIS who was moving with Iranian and Turkish arms were a clear picture of the two countries' intentions, objectives and attitudes toward the peoples of the region.

In retaliation for military strikes, the Revolutionary Guards demolish a fortress and build a military zone

The Iranian government has never hesitated in its war to end the Kurdish people for decades by all means, through its cultural and social fusion and military repression, until it reached the destruction of the country's archaeological sites in retaliation for their dead.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have destroyed the remains of an ancient fortress dating back to about 3,000 in the city of Mariwan to build a military base.

Also Torag Taba fortress in the eastern part of Kurdistan on the Iranian-Iraqi border, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards destroyed it completely and turned it into a military zone after burning large areas of the territory of the province of Kurdistan in which the fortress is located.

The incineration came after the Iranian army deliberately organized military maneuvers in that province. The region witnessed clashes and military operations between the PJAK and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The last clash killed 11 Iranian soldiers.

The historical fortress was identified, which extends for three thousand years, 60 years ago and has been placed within the list of archaeological areas protected by UNESCO for the protection of heritage.

Turkey did similar work last year

On the other hand, the village of Hasan Kiv, which dates back 12 thousand years and is characterized as a houses carved among rocks, which entered the list of archaeological areas of the human heritage in 1981, the practices of the Turkish government barbaric.

In late August of 2017, the Turkish government began the demolition of parts of the village of Hasan Kiv, the oldest archaeological village in the world, located in the state of Batman in northern Kurdistan, after the government issued a vague argument that the archaeological village contains a fragile structure and dangerous neighboring villages.

This came in conjunction with the military operations carried out by the Turkish army in the city of Amed in northern Kurdistan, which targeted the archeological "Sur Amed" classified as one of the largest castles of the world, which was built according to studies in the third millennium BC, using solid basalt stones, it was a strategically and commercially important linking center between East and West, but parts of it were destroyed by the Turkish bombing on the people of the city of Amed in 2016.

In the context of these sabotage operations and the elimination of nature in Kurdistan, the Turkish government deliberately burned before months large areas of the forests of the state of Dersem, northern Kurdistan, similar to the forests of Şîrnex and Julêmêrk
Demolition of the monument of Afrin is a Turkish practices complementary to the work of ISIS

After the military operation launched by the Turkish army accompanied by thousands of mercenaries on Afrin canton northwest of Syria, the Turkish army returned to demolish the monuments of the region, especially the castle, "Prophet Hori", which is one of the most important monuments in the world.

Tal Janders archaeological site and the monuments of the town of Ain Dara south of the city of Afrin of is also exposure to the barbarism of the Turkish army as part of the monuments have been looted and others destroyed the other part of the entire process of purification of the heritage of peoples and the components of their civilization led by the Turkish government.

All this comes in great attempts by the occupying governments of Kurdish lands to obliterate the history of the Kurdish people, full of achievements and revolutions that have changed the path of human prosperity and life for the better, known as the Mesopotamian civilizations or Mesopotamia.

The silence of UNESCO and human rights organizations

Although the organization established after the Second World War is the establishment of security and peace and the protection of world heritage and monuments as well as conservation of nature around the world as its main goals, but UNESCO has not yet come out any statement about violations of the Turkish or Iranian demolition of those archaeological sites.

As well as the commitment of human rights organizations silence on violations by Iran and Turkey in the military campaigns launched by the two countries on the Kurdish areas, especially in northern Kurdistan, which destroyed more than 12 cities, after the announcement of the people of these cities to form their autonomous administrations
