    Do the Turks understand the rights of a passport holder

    6/3/2006 KurdishMedia.com - By Heval Hylani
    Introduction

    A passport is an identity document issued by a sovereign country to
    its people. The identify document facilitates entry and exist into
    international borders with relative ease. The color, shape and size
    of the identify document varies from country to country and it
    usually depicts the holder's photograph, signature, date of birth,
    nationality, and sometimes other means of individual identification.

    In modern time, passports are used, reused and even misused by one
    and all for various reasons. To arrest any misuse or forgery, many
    countries are in the process of developing biometric properties for
    their passports in order to further confirm that the person
    presenting the passport is the legitimate holder.

    Language on Passports

    In 1920 the International Conference on Passports, Customs
    Formalities and Through Tickets mandated that passports be issued in
    French and at least one other language, though many countries,
    particularly in Asia, now issue passports in English and the language
    of the issuing country. For example:

    1. Belgium allows its citizens to choose which of its three official
    languages (Dutch, French, or German) should appear first in the
    individual's passport.

    2. The face page of the Hungarian passports ("Útlevél" in Hungarian,
    lit. "Roadletter") is in Hungarian only, though on the inside there
    is a second, Hungarian-English bilingual page citing "Passport" also.
    The personal information page offers trilingual Hungarian, English
    and French explanation for the details. An additional page including
    the explanations in English, French, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and
    Arabic has been added in recent years.

    3. Passports issued by European Union member states bear all of the
    official languages of the European Union.

    4. United States passports, once issued in English and French only,
    are now issued in English, French, and Spanish since the second
    Clinton administration, due to the fact that they are used in
    Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico. Soviet passports were also printed in
    Russian and French.

    Iraqi passport with Kurdish language

    Most of the countries recognise Iraqi passports, with few exceptions.

    Generally these exceptions are due to circumstances where one country
    does not recognise another territory's administration as a sovereign
    state, but Iraq is a sovereign state, and Kurdistan is a Federal
    State in its motherland Kurdistan.

    Double standards with Cyprus

    The Turks have unwise experience in passport disputes. The `Turkish
    Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)' issues passports, but only Turkey
    recognises the statehood of Northern Cyprus. TRNC passports are not
    accepted for entry into the Republic of Cyprus. Until 2003, the
    Republic of Turkey did not accept passports of the Republic of
    Cyprus, because it did not recognize that government.

    Turkey now accepts Republic of Cyprus passports, but does not stamp
    them; rather, Turkish immigration officials stamp a separate visa
    issued by the Turkish state.

    Turkey's fear and hatred

    A complex and bizarre situation exists in Turkey, where Kurds living
    as dhimmis-subjugated non-Muslims, are facing the dual-loyalty issue.
    The hatred of the Federal State of Kurdistan by the Kamelist cannot
    be considered unique. Turkey desired to see the Kurdish Federal State
    destroyed. Turkey has taken control of many extreme terrorist cells,
    and giving them funds and orders to attack the Kurds in their
    homeland in particularly in Kirkuk.

    Kurds in Turkey face wide-spread hatred and there are obviously hate
    in Turkish blood vessels. The Kurds in Turkey experience constant
    distrust, as Kamelist authorities consider them threat to their
    uncivilized state rules.

    Hatred of the Federal State of Kurdistan is an issue which needs to
    be examined in Turkey. When looking at Turkish society, we find many
    sensitive issues facing the Kurds. Like in many other Muslim
    countries Turks are in fear, whether they admit it openly or not.
    They answer is not one we will establish here, that question will
    remain open for now.

    Turkey and the European Union

    The question that remained subject to the dialogue is: How on earth
    Turkey apply to become a member of the EU? How could EU baptise a
    dirty mind by washing it is body. Turks built their state on
    Armenian, Kurds bodies and hate to everyone. How could they enter EU
    if they are not willing to share, to learn, to civilise.

    Conclusion

    The Kamelist have to understand that the international community will
    condemn and force them to abandon the national hate that `Turkey is
    only for the Turks' and begrave the roots of this national hate. The
    Turks not only hate the Kurds, they also hate Arabs. In Turkey if a
    Turk acts stupidly (which is very usual), they call him `Arab'. So
    why the Turks are happy with the Arabic text, but not the Kurdish.

    We all know that the time will come soon for the 35-40 millions Kurds
    in Turkey to say NO to Kamelist and force the Turks to bend for the
    Kurdish Human Rights, otherwise the roads to EU would be impossible
    for their crimes against humanity.
