Enough with killing Kurdish children!

In Wan (Van) an armored police vehicle hit a seven year old Kurdish girl. The girl, named Maziye Aslan, died at the scene. Maybe one day people who are not Kurdish will understand that the song Mihemedo is there for a reason...

Below is translation of the article by Hasan Bildirici published in Kurdistan Post on 26 April 2009 in response to the recent brutality of special forces who caused death of a child and smashed skull of another child with butt of a rifle (check the posts at Zerkesorg or Hevallo for details):

We don't expect justice from you; we are just warning you:

Don't hit our children! We want to remind you that hitting children is a sick behaviour.

It's not your women who gave birth to the children of Kurdistan, a country you have invaded; you haven't fed those children. You didn't caress their head in sickness and hunger.

Your crap-faced officers have melted those kids' fathers in acid wells; dragged mother and grandmothers of those children at the gates of Diyarbakir [Amed] prisons, just because a word in Kurdish slipped out of their lips...

All those bravery tales you tell your women and children are lies. It's true that you try your bravery on our women, who throw their scarfs aside and march on the streets and our dark-eyed children who circle around your vehicles...

Don't hit our children. This isn't a plea. This is an order from the people of Kurdistan: don't hit our children!

We are among those who know it well what it means to stay helpless in front of Turkish racist barrels. There are countless heroes of Kurdistan who showed one wouldn't beg for mercy from those Turkish racist barrels and die with dignity.

Friends of a generation which has raptured death's artery don't beg children murderers. They will order, don't hit our children!

Don't lay a finger on our pretty-eyed children lining up next to the walls of run-down houses you have collapsed on them. We will not trade your whole kingdom, your race borders, F16's, tanks, artillery and crap-faced flock of murderers' infection-fed salaries to one drop of tear from the eyes of those children who grew up with memories of your murderous nights.

Don't hit our children who are orphans of Kurdistan.

If one day, one of your children has a slap from an adult Kurd because of being Turkish, let our hands break as a nation. Even if it's just for this, don't hit our children...

If one day, a civilian or soldier, just because he is Turkish, is shot by a Kurd, let those bullets hit our hearts as a nation [of Kurds].

Even if it's just for this, don't hit Kurdish children.

Carry on the war with dignity, comply with one percent of bravery stories you tell your women and children and don't touch Kurdish children.

If one day, harm comes [by a Kurd] to one line of hair of one of your women because she is Turkish, let her hair be the rope around our neck [for hanging].

Even if it's just for this, don't hit Kurdish children.

If you continue hitting our children, we will say that not breaking your children-murdering hands is to be an accessory in your crime...

This is an order from Kurdistan you made into a field of death:

Don't hit the orphans of Kurdistan.

Carry on the war, honestly, with those at war.

Try this only once...
