While it was easy to deploy Daesh in the Syrian desert and  the provinces of Niniveh and d\u2019al-Anbar (Iraq), which are mostly  Sunnite, it proved to be impossible to take control of the Kurdish  populations of Syria. In order to realise his dream of a Kurdistan  outside of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has no other choice but civil  war.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>by Thierry Meyssan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Damascus (Syria) | 3 August 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When  they took power in Ankara in 2003, the Islamist party AKP modified  Turkey\u2019s strategic priorities. Rather than using reports on the post-\u00ab  Desert Storm \u00bb balance of power, Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan harboured the  ambition of freeing his country from the isolation it has known since  the end of the Ottoman Empire. <!--more-->Based on analyses provided by his  advisor, Professor Ahmet Davuto\u011flu, he advocated solving century-old  problems with Turkey\u2019s neighbours, and becoming progressively the  inevitable regional mediator. In order to do so, Turkey had to become a  political model and build relations with his Arab partners, without  losing its alliance with Isra\u00ebl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This policy, known as \u00ab zero problem \u00bb, began sucessfully at  first.Ankara no longer feared  Damascus and its support for the PKK, and  also asked Syria for help in negotiating an exit. In October 2006, the  Kurdish party declared a unilateral truce and began negotiations with  the Erdo\u011fan government. In May 2008, Ankara organised indirect  negotiations between Damascus and Tel-Aviv, the first talks since Ehud  Barack\u2019s rejection of the Bill Clinton \/ Hafez el-Assad plan. But  President Bachar el-Assad withdrew from the discussions after Isra\u00ebl  attacked Gaza in December 2009.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Realising that because of the Palestinian conflict, it was impossible  to maintain good relations with all the states in the region, Ankara  chose to support the Palestinians against Isra\u00ebl. This was the period of  the Davos and Freedom Flotilla episodes. Backed by vast popular support  in the Muslim world, Ankara approached Teheran and accepted, in  November 2010, to participate in a Turkey-Iran-Iraq-Syria common market.  Visas were repealed ; the rights of the Customs were considerably  reduced ; a consortium was created to manage the oil and gas pipe-lines ;  an authority was created to enable the management of water ressources.  The overall structure looked so inviting that Lebanon and Jordan  presented their candidacy. Sustainable peace seemed possible for the   Levant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When, in 2011, the United Kingdom and France launched a double war  against Libya and Syria, at the request and under the control of the  United States, Turkey quite logically opposed it. These wars, launched  on the pretext of protecting the populations, were far too evidently  neo-colonial strategies. Besides, they damaged Turkish interests, since  Libya was one of its main economic partners and Syria had become one by  way of the new regional common market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That\u2019s when everything collapsed\u2026<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">How France caused the collapse of Turkey<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In March 2011, on the initiative of the French Minister for Foreign  Affairs, Alain Jupp\u00e9, Paris secretly proposed to support Ankara\u2019s  candidacy to the European Union and help it solve its Kurdish problem if  Turkey would join France in its war against Libya and Syria. From the  French point of view, this was a radically new proposition, since during  the period he led the Gaullist party and was a collaborator of Jacques  Chirac, Alain Jupp\u00e9 had been firmly opposed to the entry of Turkey into  the Union. But, condemned for corruption in France, he had exiled  himself to America in 2005 and taught classes in Qu\u00e9bec while at the  same time following a course at the Pentagon. Converted to  neo-conservatism, he returned to France and was chosen by Nicolas  Sarkozy as Minister for Defence, then for Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Retrospectively, the Jupp\u00e9 plan revealed French intentions : they  concerned the creation of a Kurdistan in Iraq and Syria, according to  the map which was published two years later by Robin Wright in the New  York Times, and was implemented conjointly by the Islamic Emirate, the  Regional Government of Iraqi Kurdistan and some ex-collaborators of  Saddam Hussein linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. The document, co-signed  by Alain Jupp\u00e9 and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davuto\u011flu, leaves no  doubt : France intended to reconstitute a colonial empire in Syria.  Moreover, it had connections within the Islamist terrorist movements and  anticipated the creation of Daesh. In order to guarantee the Jupp\u00e9  plan, Qatar agreed to make massive investments in eastern Turkey, hoping  that the Turkish Kurds would then abandon the PKK.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This plan has remained secret until today. If the French and Turkish  parlementaries could manage to legally obtain a copy, it would amply  suffice to bring Messrs. Jupp\u00e9 and Davuto\u011flu before the International  Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Contrary to a popular notion, the Kurds are deeply divided. In Turkey  and Syria, the PKK, originally a Marxist-Leninist party, has always  defended the anti-imperialist point of view. While the Iraqi Kurds,  linked with Isra\u00ebl since the Cold War, have always been the allies of  the United States. The two groups do not speak the same language and  have very different histories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It is probable that, from their side, the United States would sweeten  the dowry by promoting the Turkish political model in the Arab world,  and helping the AKP to take charge of the political parties born of the  Muslim Brotherhood, so that Turkey would become the centre of the next  Middle East. In any case, and in extremis, Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan  supported NATO\u2019s project, which took over from AfriCom after the revolt  of its commander\u00a0[<a id=\"nh1\" title=\"Initially called \u00ab Odyssey Dawn \u00bb, the operation against Libya was commanded\u00a0(...)\" rel=\"footnote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html#nb1\">1<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Immediately, Ankara mobilised the citizens of Misrata in Libya. These  are mostly the descendants of the Jewish soldiers of the Ottoman  Empire, the Adghams, and the nomadic merchants descended from black  slaves, the Muntasirs, who had supported the Young Turks. They formed  the only significant Libyan group capable of attacking Tripoli\u00a0[<a id=\"nh2\" title=\"The inhabitants of Benghazi refused to attack Tripoli once they had\u00a0(...)\" rel=\"footnote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html#nb2\">2<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Simultaneously, Ankara organised several meetings of the Syrian  opposition in Istanbul, from August 2011. Finally, the Muslim  Brotherhood constituted the Syrian National Council in October,  associating representatives from the diverse political and minority  groups.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">NATO renounces the invasion of Syria<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Watching NATO\u2019s implication in Libya, Ankara was logically counting  on an identical implication by NATO in Syria. But despite a large number  of terrorist attacks and an unflagging international Press campaign, it  proved impossible to both inflame the population and attribute mass  crimes to President el-Assad in a credible manner. Above all, Moscow and  Bejing, angered by the Libyan affair, opposed any Security Council  resolution pretending to \u00ab protect \u00bb the Syrians from their own  government (October 2011, February and July 2012).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Washington and London abandoned the game, even though Paris and Ankara continued to believe in  it\u00a0[<a id=\"nh3\" title=\"To be more more specific, Paris withdrew from the war in March 2012 after\u00a0(...)\" rel=\"footnote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html#nb3\">3<\/a>].  The two states developed close collaboration, which went as far, in  September 2012, as planning the assassination of the Syrian Minister of  Foreign Affairs, Walid al-Mouallem, and President Bachar el-Assad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The terrorist attack in Riyadh, a response to the assassination of  members of the Syrian National Security Council, seriously wounded  Prince Bandar ben Sultan in July 2012, and left the international  jihadist movement orphaned. Even though the prince survived his wounds,  he only left hospital a year later, and was never again able to assume  the role he had played until then. Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan seized the  occasion to replace him. He opened personal relations with Yasin  al-Qadi, the banker for al-Qa\u00efda, whom he received in secret several  times in Ankara. He supervised a number of jihadist groups, initially  created by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In January 2013, by intervening in Mali, France distanced itself from  the Syrian jihadists, thus leaving on-the-ground military operations to  Turkey, even if it left a few legionnaires in place. Shortly  afterwards, the Emir of Qatar, cheikh Ahmad, was obliged to abdicate by  Washington, which blamed him \u2013 after denunciation by Russia \u2013 for  operating in a way that was damaging to United States economic  interests. Even before his son, cheikh Tamim, succeeded him, the greater  part of the financing of the war against Syria was being handled by  Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In order to benefit from this support, and that of Isra\u00ebl, Recep  Tayyip Erdo\u011fan began to promise anyone who was listening that the United  States were going to ignore the Russian and Chinese vetos and launch  NATO in an assault against Damascus. Profiting from the confusion, he  organised the pillage of Syria, dismantled all the factories in Aleppo,  the economic capital, and stole the machine-tools. Similarly, he  organised the theft of archeological treasures and set up an  international market in Antioch\u00a0[<a id=\"nh4\" title=\"A town also known by the names of Antakya or Hatay.\" rel=\"footnote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html#nb4\">4<\/a>].  Still apparently unaware of the consequences, with the help of General  Beno\u00eet Puga, Chief of Staff for the Elys\u00e9e, he organised a false-flag  operation intended to provoke the launching of a war by the Atlantic  Alliance &#8211; the chemical bombing of la Ghoutta in Damascus, in August  2013. But London immediately uncovered the manipulation and refused to  engage\u00a0[<a id=\"nh5\" title=\"The Prime Minister organised a spectacle with the head of the opposition -\u00a0(...)\" rel=\"footnote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html#nb5\">5<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Turkey participated in the operation of ethnic cleansing and  partition of Iraq and Syria, known as the \u00ab Wright plan \u00bb. The presence  of the Turkish secret services in the preparatory meetings for Daesh in  Amman is verified by the publication of a record of decisions by the  PKK. Moreover, the \u00ab Wright plan \u00bb is a copy of the \u00ab Jupp\u00e9 plan \u00bb,  which convinced Turkey to go to war. Following this, Recep Tayyip  Erdo\u011fan himself took command of the terrorist organisation, ensuring at  the same time its arms supply and the sale of its petrol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Anxiously observing the talks between Washington and Teheran, Ankara  feared a peace agreement which would leave it powerless. Solicited by  his Russian opposite number, Vladimir Putin, Mr. Erdo\u011fan accepted to  participate in the gas pipe-line project Turkish Stream, intended to  break the US monopoly and avoid the European embargo. Then, racking up  his courage, he went to see his Iranian opposite number, cheikh Hassan  Rohani, who assured him that he had nothing to fear from the agreement  which was then being developed.  But as soon as it was signed, on the  14th July 2015, it was apparent that it left no room for Turkey in the  region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without surprise, Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan received, on the 24th July, an ultimatum from President Obama, requiring him to<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/local\/cache-vignettes\/L9xH11\/puce-cebf5.gif\" alt=\"-\" width=\"9\" height=\"11\" \/> immediately renounce the Russian gas pipe-line project ;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/local\/cache-vignettes\/L9xH11\/puce-cebf5.gif\" alt=\"-\" width=\"9\" height=\"11\" \/> cease  his support of Daesh \u2013 of which he had become the excutive chief behind  the screen of calife Abou Bakr al-Baghdadi &#8211; and go to war with them.<br \/>\nApplying even greater pressure, Barack Obama evoked the possibility  of excluding Turkey from NATO, with the concertation of the United  Kingdom, even though this situation is not mentioned in the Treaty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After having begged pardon and authorised the United States and NATO  to use the the military base at Incirlik against Daesh, Mr. Erdo\u011fan made  contact with the special emissary for the Anti-Daesh Coalition, General  John Allen, known for his opposition to the agreement with Iran. The  two men agreed to interpret President Obama\u2019s remarks as an  encouragement to fight terrorism, a heading under which they listed the  PKK. Exceeding his functions, the General promised to create a \u00ab no-fly  zone \u00bb ninety miles wide, over Syrian territory, along the whole border  with Turkey, supposedly  intended to help Syrian refugees fleeing from  their government, but in reality to apply the \u00ab Jupp\u00e9-Wright plan \u00bb. The  Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davuto\u011flu, revealed US support for the  project on the TV channel A Haber by launching a bombing raid against  the PKK.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">General John Allen had twice succeeded in prolonging the war against  Syria. In June 2012, he plotted with General David Petraeus and  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to sabotage the Geneva agreement  between Washington and Moscow for peace in the Near East. This agreement  called, amongst other things, for peace in Syria \u2013 even though Damascus  had not been invited to the conference \u2013 but this was considered  inacceptable by both the US neo-conservatives and the US \u00ab liberal hawks  \u00bb. The trio Clinton-Allen-Petraeus counted on the new French President,  Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, and his new Minister for Foreign Affairs, Laurent  Fabius, to convene a conference of the \u00ab Friends of Syria \u00bb and reject  the Geneva Agreement. Since he was in the heat of an election campaign,  President Obama could not sanction his collaborators, but the day  following his election, he had David Petraeus and John Allen arrested,  victims of a sexual trap. Hillary Clinton stayed on for a few weeks, but  then suddenly retired after an \u00ab accident \u00bb. Finally, only Petraeus was  found guilty, while Allen was whitewashed and Clinton \u2013 like Jupp\u00e9 \u2013  began preparations for the next Presidential election campaign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The trio Clinton-Allen-Petraeus staged a second operation in December  2014 which managed to disrupt the Moscow Conference. By promising the  Muslim Brotherhood that they would implement the \u00ab Jupp\u00e9-Wright plan \u00bb,  they convinced the Syrian National Coalition to refuse any disscussions  on peace. Incidentally, this episode attests to the fact that the aim of  the Syrian National Coalition is not regime change in Syria but the  destruction of the country and its state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Learning the facts during his journey to Africa, President Obama  officially denied the engagement of General Allen, recognised Turkey\u2019s  right to fight the PKK, but denounced any action against it outside of  Turkey. President Erdo\u011fan then called for a meeting of the Atlantic  Council to inform them of his entry into the Anti-Terrorist Coalition  and his double action against Daesh and the PKK. On the 29th July, the  Allies coldly replied that they supported his action, but did not  recognise his right to bombard the PKK in Iraq and Syria except in cases  of \u00ab pursuit \u00bb &#8211; in other words, if the PKK used bases in other  countries to manage troop movements against Turkey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moreover, President Obama has relieved Daniel Rubinstein of his  functions as Special Envoy to Syria, and replaced him with Michael  Ratney, a specialist of both the Near East and communications. His main  task will be to keep an eye on General Allen.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Turkey enters into civil war<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Presently, the actions of the Turkish army against the PKK in Iraq  and Syria have no legal justification in international law. Both  governments have denounced attacks on their territory. From the US pont  of view, the PKK and the Syrian Arab Army \u2013 in other words, the army of  the Republic  &#8211; are the only ground forces capable of confronting Daesh.  The resumption of the war against the Kurdish minority illustrates the  AKP\u2019s desire to continue the implementation of the \u00ab Jupp\u00e9-Wright plan  \u00bb, even after the partial withdrawal of Qatar and France.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, one fundamental element has profoundly changed the game :  Isra\u00ebl and Saudi Arabia, who not so long ago supported the idea of  creating a Kurdistan and a Sunnistan in Iraq and Syria, are now opposed  to it. Tel-Aviv and Riyadh now understand that these two new states, if  they come to be, will not be controlled by them, but by a Turkey which  is no longer hiding its imperial ambitions, and will become a de facto  regional giant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By one of those turn-arounds of which the Near East has the secret,  Isra\u00ebl and Saudi Arabia have reached an agreement in order to oppose  President Erdo\u011fan\u2019s folly, and also, surreptitiously, to help the PKK,  despite its Marxist identity. Furthermore, Isra\u00ebl has already contacted  the traditional enemies of Turkey, Alexis Ts\u00edpras\u2019 Greece, and N\u00edkos  Anastasi\u00e1dis\u2019 Cyprus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let there be no mistake &#8211; Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has chosen civil war  as his only political exit. After losing the general election and  managing to block the creation of a new government, he is now  trying to  scare his own people into convincing the MHP (nationalists) to support  the AKP (Islamists) and form a coalition government, or call another  round of general elections &#8211; and win.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The anti-terrorist operation which was intended to fight both Daesh  and the Kurdish population is aimed almost exclusively at the PKK and  the PYG (its Syrian alter ego). The bombings which were supposedly aimed  at the Islamic Emirate destroyed nothing. At the same time, Mr. Erdo\u011fan  has begun judicial enquiries against the Kurdish leaders of the HPD,  Selahattin Demirta\u015f and Figen Y\u00fcksekda\u011f. For a start, the prosecution  accuses them of having called for violence against non-Kurds \u2013 which is  ridiculous \u2013 and secondly, of supporting the PYG, the militia of the  Syrian Arab Republic and therefore, according to the magistrate, a  terrorist organisation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The civil war which is beginning will not be the same as in the  1990\u2019s. It will be far more wide-ranging and murderous. Partly because  Turkey has not one ally left outside its boundaries, and partly because  the government\u2019s Islamist policies have divided its own society. Thus  there will not be Turkish institutions supported by NATO on one side and  Syrian-backed PKK on the other &#8211; but a fragmentation of Turkish society  &#8211; secular against Islamist ; modern against traditionalist ; Alevis  against Sunnites ; Kurds against Turks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/auteur29.html?lang=en\">Thierry Meyssan<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Translation<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/auteur125569.html?lang=en\">Pete Kimberley<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"share\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div id=\"recommander\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/rien.gif\" alt=\"&lt;:ver_imprimer:&gt;\" width=\"15px\" height=\"15px\" \/> <a title=\"Send this article\" rel=\"nofollow\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/rien.gif\" alt=\"&lt;:recommander:recommander:&gt;\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Digg\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&amp;url=http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html&amp;title=Clinton,%20Jupp%C3%A9,%20Erdo%C4%9Fan,%20Daesh%20and%20the%20PKK%20[Voltaire%20Network]\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/rien.gif\" alt=\"Digg\" width=\"15px\" height=\"15px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">[<a id=\"nb1\" title=\"Footnotes 1\" rev=\"footnote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article188337.html#nh1\">1<\/a>]  Initially called \u00ab Odyssey Dawn \u00bb, the operation against Libya was  commanded by General Carter Ham in his role as head of AfriCom.
