​​​​​​​ Bloodless massacre..Turkey kills slowly millions by water war

 In steps recorded in history of crimes against peoples, the Turkish state continues in a most dangerous scheme against the peoples living on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, the most important rivers in the Middle East besides the great Nile.

 In the first file, we highlighted the Turkish state’s approach to building dams, lowering the water level and draining the springs, as well as the agreements concluded between the Syrian, Iraqi and Turkish governments regarding the sharing of river water.

In the second file, we keep explaining the importance of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers historically, in addition to the water swallowing up of history in Kurdistan and the consequences of the war pursued by the Turkish state.

 Historically, between the two rivers

 The favorable climate, availability of water and fertility of the land played a major role in attracting human groups towards Mesopotamia.

 Living near the abundant rivers and springs in the Kurdistan region and Iraq today, and the abundance of plants, fruits in the form of natural fields, and containing animals for hunting and caves for protection, prepared the launch of the agricultural revolution, building villages and raising animals after the end of the fourth ice era 17-20 thousand years ago.

 The ruins of the historical temple in "Kobagli Tepe" or "Khrab Rishk" in Raha (Urfa) in Northern Kurdistan, which dates back to 12 thousand years BC, and is the oldest temple discovered in the world, is evidence of the historical roots of the people of Mesopotamia who lived on the banks of the Euphrates River  .

 Due to the large number of inventions and civilizational innovations that have entered the service of mankind, Mesopotamia has turned into the cradle of civilizations and the source of multiple cultures.

 If we want to talk about the civilizations in the two rivers, the Sumerians, who lived about 3500 BC, built dozens of cities on the banks in Lower Mesopotamia (Southern Iraq), the Akkadians, as well as the Babylonians, Mitanni, Assyrians, Hittites, the Kingdom of Urartu and the Median Empire besides  Dozens of civilizations that followed after that on the geography of Mesopotamia.

 It is not possible to understand what the Turkish state intends except that it is working to end life in the cradle of civilizations on the banks of the two great rivers.

 In this context, Ali Suleiman, the co-chair of the Directorate of Antiquities Protection in the Euphrates region says, "Historically, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are of great importance. Human groups gathered here on the banks of the two rivers, and the first civilizations started here. The practices of the Turkish state are to eliminate an older identity.  The peoples who were and still inhabit the region are the Kurds and do not differ from the processes of demographic change taking place in the occupied areas in northern Syria, such as Afrin and Serêkaniyê.

 In Kurdistan..water is used as a tool to destroy the history

 For his part, Hassan Koçer, deputy co-chair of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, believes that what Turkey is doing in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers is a humanitarian and natural disaster at the same time, and what encourages it to do so is the unclear position of the Iraqi and Syrian governments on this.

 The waters of the dam flooded the historic town of Hesen kaif , which dates back to 12,000 years and includes medieval monuments and religious schools, and is considered one of the oldest human settlements in the world.

 On the Turkish state’s construction of the Ilisu Dam near the historic town of “Hesen Kaif”, he points out, “The Justice and Development Party and the Turkish National Movement are working to hide a historical heritage of the Kurds dating back 12 thousand years in the town of Hesen Kaif. Our responses must be strict towards this.

 The Justice and Development government deliberately covers one of the most important historical monuments in Kurdistan.

 Melting the villagers Kurds in the whirlpool of the big cities

 As a result of the filling of the newly constructed Ilisu dam lake, the residents of 200 villages in Northern Kurdistan, about 80,000 Kurdish people, were displaced.

 In this regard, he considers that "the cultural war waged by the Turkish state is part of the war of extermination against the Kurds. It is not different from the military war. The forms change, but the goal remains the same. What does it mean to build a dam in the middle of Kurdish villages accustomed to a normal life, they are trying to displace thousands to the major cities. It is a systematic demographic change process practiced by the Turkish state in Northern Kurdistan."

 He added, "So far, the movements and organizations that claim to protect cultures, archaeological sites and nature are not serious in dealing with the Turkish state. Even some European countries participate in Turkey in these projects. The Kurds are subjected to a white massacre, there may be no blood, but in the end, the Kurds are massacred."

 Water scarcity raises the alarm

 During the opening ceremony of the second largest dam in Turkey, Ilisu Dam, on November 6, Erdogan stressed the need to protect the country from the dangers of drought  to prepare for the dark scenarios that await the world in the future.

 Erdogan's statements came in conjunction with the suffering of millions in Syria and Iraq from water scarcity as a result of the decline in the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to historical levels, affecting agricultural production, securing drinking water, and the large number of poisoning cases.

 The university professor at the University of Baghdad, Jawad Al-Baydani, considered that the construction of the Illisu Dam on the course of the Tigris River;  "It represents the greatest threat to the Iraqi people throughout its history, and it is an existential threat, because water flows will decrease to terrifying levels and agriculture will end forever in Iraq," according to what he posted on his official Facebook page.

 Al-Baydani called on the Iraqi government to boycott Turkey economically and to resist Turkey's soft policy aimed at blackmailing  Iraq.

 The north and east regions of Syria and the central regions of Iraq suffer from water scarcity in conjunction with the insufficient rainfall during the past and current year, which portends a humanitarian catastrophe, in light of Turkey’s lowering of the water level of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the decline in the rate of filling dam lakes that feed the region  .

 Displacement is a long-term

 Koçer says that the scarcity of water on the banks of the Euphrates in Syria will push the population to emigrate, this is a long-term Turkish goal and a strategic one.

 He also believes that this fuels national conflicts between the Turks, the Kurds and the Arabs by creating the impression that the Turkish people are the ones who cut off the water, given that there is a previous sensitivity as a result of the rule of the Ottomans.

 He said, "The practices of the Turkish state have negatively affected the relations of the Turkish people with neighboring peoples. These practices have created great sensitivity. The Turkish state and authority have become a scourge on the head of the Turkish people themselves."
