Maybe it will lighten up if Turkey bomb and fight some more mountains and prevent water coming down the rivers as they have done for decades..Like the The Saddam-Turkish cooperation USAK speaks about..Or why don´t the U.S. plough through the Bengali forests..That will maybe do the trick..Or why don´t we all just give damn if the oil reach the Golf Stream like those that have pumped up oil for 40 years outside Australia..That will maybe lighten the skies up..

USAK: Turkey is one the most experienced country in the world in combating religionist terrorism
November 4 - The Turkish army attacked between 03:00 and 19:00 in the evening the Zap region with mortars and howitzers. There was confrontation between Turkish military and HPG in the district of Hatay Hassa. There have been numerous troops and ammunition shipped in the direction of Sirnak Cizre in the Silopi township.
Police Department Anti-Terrorism (TEM) raided the house of the pokesman Al Peace Mothers Initiative in the evening and arrested the Peace Mothers Initiative spokesman.
A Kurdish member of Turkey's parliament, Aysel Tugluk, was sentenced to 18 months in prison last week for spreading terrorist propaganda. The court found Tugluk had "spread propaganda of a terrorist organisation" in a 2006 speech, a year before being elected to parliament representing the main Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP). Tugluk delivered the speech at a rally in Diyarbakır in which she urged the government to heed the demands of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in order to put an end to the conflict. She also supported a popular declaration which described jailed PKK head Abdulah Ocalan as a Kurdish leader. This is not the first time Tugluk has faced jail time. In 2007, she was sentenced on charges of distributing DTP leaflets in the Kurdish language.

Murat Karayilan says Ankara's promises of reform are a "comedy" and an attempt to "deceive" the Kurds and the international community. It is just a show. The mentality remains the same-refusing to recognize the Kurdish people's identity, refusing to recognize them as interlocutors," Karayilan told AFP. Ankara says it is working on fresh reforms to improve Kurdish rights in a bid to end 25 years of bloodshed. But it rejects dialogue with the PKK. Karayilan insisted Turkey should end military action, negotiate with Kurdish representatives on the terms of settlement, grant the Kurds constitutional recognition and free PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan. "We trust Ocalan. If a dialogue begins with him, the process will advance," he said. Other commanders or the Democratic Society Party may be alternative interlocutors, he said. "The Kurdish people are with us and we can continue to resist from Kurdistan's mountains for decades," he said, adding the PKK will only act "in self-defense. "We control hundreds of mountains, we can continue the war for 30, for 50 years, if need be," Avesta said. Turkey's appeals on the rebels to lay down arms and "return home" under a law that reduces sentences and even ensures that many go free are met with skepticism. Ankara "prefers to handle the situation with small arrangements rather than confronting the real problem: a reform that will recognize the Kurdish reality in the constitution," Avesta said. For Roj Welat, the PKK's "foreign relations" officer, "returning home" is also a distant option. "Our home is the freedom of the Kurdish people," he shouted.

Well...For "being one the most experienced country in the world in combating religionist terrorism" and having al-Qaida and militants going shuffle traffic to Afghanistan, some in Turkey have not contributed much to stabilise Iraq..We mean..It´s very #¤# obvious some in Turkey have been very busy with refusing to end their genocidal "war-fare" and come to solutions, we mean...It´s #¤# about basic human rights, while there is a genocide going on Iraq and as we said so many times one can see on the statistics that the attacks raised sky high when the genocidal "war-fare" carousel was instigated ones again.
So tell us...WHO or which the hell would be the Kurdish leader if not Abdullah Ocalan, while the Kurds have been kept massacred, killed, have their children both jailed and killed, and jailed just for mention the word solutions, peace and to put an end the conflict, by Turkey? Some ones in Turkey? Some one beating their children with their guns, or shoot them, or jail them or breakes their arms and legs?
Some one in Turkey that just can´t stop killing them and even have problems with Mothers for Peace!
Some have problems with their Mothers! DON´T THEY! Well...That must be very helpful in combating terrorism and for the Iraqis!

BG Group at centre of $4bn deal to supply Gaza gas to Israel
May 23, 2007- The British energy firm is set to agree terms of a $4bn, 15-year deal over gas discovered off the Gaza coast.
BG Group is poised to agree the terms of an $4 billion (£2 billion) deal to supply Palestinian gas to Israel from a discovery off the Gaza coastline. Representatives from the British energy company are scheduled (May , 2007) to meet a team of negotiators chosen by the Israeli Cabinet to thrash out a 15-year contract. Despite the violence in Gaza, the Israeli Foreign Ministry has insisted that it wants to conclude a deal “as soon as possible”. It would enable BG Group, the former owner of British Gas, to begin to develop an offshore field that is the Palestine Authority’s only natural resource. The move would mark an unprecedented milestone in Middle East relations. There would be enough gas to provide 10 per cent of Israel’s annual energy requirement, and the Palestinians would receive total royalties of $1 billion. Nigel Shaw, the BG Group vice-president in the region, said: “We are making progress. There are commercial issues to be completed and we also require bilateral agreement between the two governments to get this project across the line. But this is a chance for greater economic prosperity in Palestine and that is only good for peace.”
The signing of heads of terms would mark an amazing turnaround, given the political and legal disputes that have dogged the project since BG Group discovered the Gaza Marine field in 2000. It holds one trillion cubic feet of gas, the equivalent of 150 million barrels of oil, equivalent to a large North Sea field. The project was held up by a legal challenge in the Israeli Supreme Court to establish whether the Palestinians had any right to the discovery. Last year BG Group was close to signing a deal to pump the gas to Egypt before Tony Blair intervened and asked the company to give Israel a second chance. The Israeli Cabinet approved a proposal by Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, to buy gas from the Palestinian Authority. The Cabinet recognised the need for new energy sources to feed Israel’s rapidly growing economy.
Under BG Group’s plans, gas from the field would be transported by an undersea pipeline to the seaport of Ashkelon. Although Israeli insiders are confident of a deal,significant questions remain, not least how payments to the Palestinian Authority will be made. Israeli defence authorities want the Palestinians to be paid in goods and services and insist that no money go to Hamas.
In the late 1990s, the Palestinian government was able to secure an agreement with British Gas that allowed them to begin drilling for natural gas and oil in the Mediterranean Sea. After years of drilling and exploration, Palestine was rewarded with an oil reserve 22 miles off of the coast of the Gaza Strip. The entire country was excited by this natural mineral that would hopefully provide them with the economic freedom and financial stability they desired. Unfortunately, the financial success did not come directly on the heels of their discovery.
International instability and internal political strife has made it extremely difficult for Palestinian officials to utilize their newfound resource. In 2005 Israel delivered a major blow to the Palestinians fledgling oil industry by choosing to import natural gas from Egypt. By doing this, Israel completely bypassed its neighbor in favor of making a political statement. The Israeli government feared that any money given to Palestine would be later used to fund acts of terrorism against Israel.
What Could Have Been a Flourishing Natural Gas Industry for Palestine
This deal completely destroyed Palestine’s early plans to establish a flourishing gas industry in Gaza that would create many much needed jobs and earn the Palestinian government millions in taxes. The millions the government planned to receive were based on the Gaza Marine field containing 1.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Many experts and Triple Diamond Energy Corp. believe that this reserve would be able to amply cover all of Palestine’s energy needs with much left over to be used for trade.
In an effort to recover from the setback caused by the Israeli’s deal with Egypt, the Palestinian government decided to work with British Gas to put their newfound resources to work. British Gas began working on a deal with Egypt that would allow 1.5 billion cubic yards of natural gas to be exported for 50 years through a Gaza-E Arish pipeline. This deal would have meant economic growth for Palestine, but this time it was the British government that caused the setback. The British Prime Minister serving at the time of the proposal determined that British Gas should allow Israel to have one more chance at reaching an agreement with its neighbor Palestine. The Prime Minister reasoned that the Palestinian gas recourses would be more than sufficient to supply Israel’s growing need.
Israel would still not agree to reach any sort of compromise with Palestine and the hope of a deal was finally abandoned. In an effort to once again try to get use out of the natural resources available Palestine and British Gas are once again trying to reach an agreement with Egypt that will be beneficial to all parties. Unfortunately for Israel, it is the Palestinian Authority that controls the licensing of these reserves. So, as Operation Summer Rains washes away the administrative and political structures in the occupied territories, has Israel decided to use Hamas as an excuse to dismantle the PA and seize its energy assets?
Estimated at 100 billion cubic meters of proven reserves, these discoveries potentially offer enough gas to meet Israel's goal of supplying 25% of its energy needs for more than 20 years - even without further imports. Unfortunately for Israel, 60% of these reserves are in waters controlled by the Palestinian Authority, which has signed a 25-year contract with British Gas for further exploration in the area. Since this discovery, Israel has proceeded with the development of its reserves with the US-Israeli company Yam Tethys, but has been faced with an obvious dilemma over the Palestinian deposits. Keen to secure the gas for its domestic market but unwilling to submit its sensitive energy supplies (and their profits) into the hands of the Palestinians, Israel has for the past 6 years pursued a policy of non-commitment, stalling and obstruction.
Egypt, British Gas and the Palestinian Authority had been secretly negotiating a deal to sidestep the problematic Israeli market. Within a month, the three parties announced their plan to extract Gazan gas, transport it to Egypt in an Egyptian controlled pipeline, and then ship it on in liquefied form to the international market. The possibility that Israel could be permanently excluded from such a tempting energy windfall on their doorstep, and that the main beneficiaries would be Egypt and the Palestinians, has since prompted Olmert to reverse Sharon's veto and reopen negotiations with BG over the supply of Gazan gas to Israel. Despite the ongoing international isolation of Hamas, the BG deal was high on the agenda during Olmert's recent meeting with British Chancellor Gordon Brown. Despite BG's commitments to Egypt and the PA, the company has announced that it is willing to enter into a deal with Israel. Within Israel, political legitimacy for the reversal has come from increasing criticisms of high prices caused by Egypt's effective monopoly of Israeli gas supply. Also, according to Haaretz, Israel is confident that it has enough influence to persuade Egypt to back out of the Gazan deal, with senior government sources asserting that: The gas off Gaza will come to Israel in the end.
The security situation that provoked Sharon's original veto of Gazan gas had not improved and it seems inconceivable that Israel would allow the PA, let alone Hamas, to reap the benefits of the Gazan gas fields. BG has made it clear that its Gazan gas will be developed soon, whether Israel likes it or not. If the attacks on Gaza succeed in destroying the Palestinian Authority as a viable political entity, all commercial contracts with the Authority, such as that with British Gas, will become worthless and will have to be renegotiated with the Israeli government.

Well..yeah...Thank you..People have #¤# died enough in those tunnels!
Egyptian forces shut down Gaza tunnels
Al-Arish – Ma’an – Egyptian authorities raided three tunnels and seized a large number of goods in the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, Egyptian security forces said. Egyptian forces said they raided the Gaza-Egypt border after receiving a tip off concerning the location of three illegal smuggling tunnels. The Egyptian forces additionally seized a car loaded with glass blocks near the tunnels in question, they said. The second tunnel was discovered inside a storehouse belonging to Ayoub Halaweh near the Salah Ad-Din border, sources added. After storming the warehouse, Egyptian forces stated that they located the tunnel and large quantities of iron and cement that were prepared for smuggling. The third tunnel was discovered near the border but no goods were found.
Now..We want to see some concrete steps to start rebuild Gaza and get in what´s needed for it and steps to end the siege! NOW! If we do not see any concrete steps in that direction it should be subjected into the U.N. probe while "Israel and London are occupied with business!"

In the middle of agreements with Armenia..and peace groups..
25 oktober - Ambassador Envoy in Turkey says UK ready to share IRA experience. British ambassador to Ankara, Nick Baird: ‘What we have said to the government here is that if they would find it useful to share our experience with the Irish negotiations, we of course would be very willing to do that.’
25 oktober -Ambassador Şensoy describes Armenian resolution as unfortunate. Turkey's Ambassador in Washington D.C. Nabi Şensoy on Sunday described a resolution introduced to the U.S. Senate regarding 1915 incidents as "unfortunate". On a Voice of America television news segment, Şensoy said introduction of the resolution calling on Armenian allegations to be recognized was "extremely wrong". "Before all, this was not an unexpected development. I don't think it was the right time to take this step since the resolution was introduced immediately after the signing of the Turkey-Armenia Protocols. It is wrong and sad. I am hopeful that the resolution will not reach the Senate floor. Asked to comment on stance of U.S. President Barack Obama regarding Armenian allegations, Ambassador Şensoy said Obama did not include such an allegation in his speech on April 24. Referring to relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan, and U.S. stance on the matter, Şensoy said, "before all we think it will extremely beneficial to put relations between Turkey and Armenia into a new course thanks to this protocol, establish diplomatic relations, and to open borders. We think this will contribute not only to relations between Turkey and Armenia but also to peace, stability and security of a region full of 'frozen' problems".
On October 22 U.S. Senators Robert Menendez and John Ensign, the two important supporters of Armenian lobby, introduced the resolution calling on the Senate to recognize allegations regarding 1915 incidents.
So the "solution" is to let nationalists and racists expose the "democratization and peace process" with peace groups and hard work to spoil it? This "Armenian issue" is a #¤# "Tool" for some...Isn´t it..We mean..What the hell of a "Timing"!
To get Turkey and Armenia into a new course there is need to recognize wrong doings! With the Armenian people! Not with the U.S. or any ones else...And it will sure not be better or give any solutions to get out and kill some Kurds and let loose the racists while the ship is leaking!

Aswat al-Iraq: Many of those involved in last Sunday’s bombings that targeted governmental institutions in Baghdad were arrested, Ali al-Allaq, the secretary general of the Iraqi Council of Ministers, said on Wednesday. “The arrests were carried out by Iraqi security forces,” al-Allaq told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. He said those who have been arrested so far are Iraqis, but “neighboring countries provided big support to bombers to carry out the blasts.”
The Iraqi cabinet’s secretary general on Wednesday revealed attempts by the Iraqi government to convince European countries to host the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), which is currently based in Iraq. “Iran has called on Iraq to hand over the PMOI’s members, but the Iraqi government does not want to force them to go to a country against their wishes. Ali al-Allaq said in an exclusive statement to Aswat al-Iraq news agency.“There is no justification for the organization’s members to remain in Iraq,” Allaq added. The official explained that it is not possible for the Iraqi government to look after the PMOI’s members, who are taking refuge in the country, at a time it declares security and reconstruction as its top priorities.

There will be no #¤# "next war"!
Al-Qassam Brigades: "Ready to resist next Israeli war."
There will be no more #¤ "next wars" #¤# Idiots! There will never, ever be a ¤%¤ "war"! So every one in Syria, Iran, Israel and every where else including "brigades" shall find something else to do immediately! #¤# Idiots!
Gaza – Ma’an – Israeli naval forces shot a Palestinian fisherman on Wednesday whilst he was fishing near Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. The Agriculture Ministry in Gaza stated that fisherman Bilal Muhammad An-Najjar, 20, was shot in the stomach by Israeli naval officers. The ministry stated that An-Najjar was fishing one km from the Rafah shore line and was taken to Abu Yousef Najjar Hospital, describing his injuries as moderate. Additionally, the ministry remarked that the Israeli occupation holds responsibility for the fishermen’s lives. Israeli military officials said they were investigating the claim.
There will be no more #¤ "next wars" so why the hell are you shooting a fisherman? #¤# Idiots! You are #¤# to much! Where the hell do you think you are? On some private planet ruling all of it by yourselves?
Ma’an – Landscapers in what will some day be Rawabi city, a planned community six kilometers north of Ramallah, were ordered by Israeli forces to stop planting more than 2,000 trees ordered for part of the project's "Grow for a Greener Palestine" program on Wednesday. The soldiers told workers tree planting was illegal because the area in question was "Area C" and under Israeli civil and military control. As such, they said, there was no work permitted in the area. Rawabi is a 200 million US dollar Qatari-backed initiative of Palestinian businessman Bashar Masri, who told the Middle East North Africa Financial Network (MENAFN) in 2007 that "The land on which Rawabi will be built is a 20 to 25 minute drive from the city of Ramallah and is located in an area under the control of the Palestinian Authority."The area, planned since 2005, bought the land for development in 2006 and by 2007 had announced plans via the Bayti Real Estate Development Company. At the time it was expected to break ground in 2008.
Though Rawabi spokespeople could not immediately be reached for comment, locals say the tree planting was the first work done by developers on the site. In July, Middle East Envoy for the Quartet Tony Blair visited the Bayti offices to discuss development of the Rawabi project. According to a press release from the company following the visit, "Blair spoke with clear enthusiasm about the project’s progress and committed his support in advancing its vision and its significant economic implications."
Workers were planting trees as a first stage of the project, which promises to be Palestine's first "green city." "The vision is for Rawabi to serve as a prototype of the first Palestinian green city and ultimately, to guarantee a higher quality of life for present and future generations," public relations material for the site says. At the site, one tree-planter, a worker from the Ramallah area, said an Israeli solder gestured to the Ateret settlement, more than four kilometers away but visible from the hilltop where Rawabi will be built. According to the worker, the soldier told the group that they were not allowed to be in the area because of the settlement. Once the soldiers left, however, the workers continued planting the trees.

The Kurds have declared their desire for peace.
‘The real aim is annihilation’ said Kurdish Peoples Leader Abdullah, and called on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to be ‘serious.’ Öcalan indicated that Erdogan was attempting to play several different roles, he emphasised that ‘the Kurds wouldn’t concede this goal.’ Öcalan continued by saying that the last stage of the expansion was one of trickery and deception and suggested that the rights given by France to Corsica should also be granted to the Kurds.
PEACE NEEDS SERIOUSNESS
Stating that peace was a serious business and respect needed to be shown to it, Öcalan said: ‘‘This is not a game, it needs a serious approach. It needs respect. The arrival of the peace groups and the Kurdish peoples’ reception and honourable stance has uncovered the government’s real face and intentions. The people who went to greet them were not just DTP or PKK sympathisers. AKP supporters also went.
This situation is not one that can be conducted with the fear of losing votes. Peace needs seriousness. I would like to thank all the friends who complied with my call and came. With the arrival of these groups and the response of the Kurdish people, we have shown that we are in favour of peace. The Kurds have declared their desire for peace. However, the government has not responded to this in a serious manner. This will not do. On one side the Interior Minister is saying one thing, on the other the families of martyred Turkish soldiers are going to Parliament and meeting with the President of the Assembly and talking disrespectfully and insultingly, saying it is terror and such like.
Underlining that the AKP were not serious about peace, Öcalan called on Prime Minister Erdogan to show some seriousness. Öcalan said, ‘‘The AKP is not serious. Being a statesman is a serious business. Peace is a serious business, the AKP is not sincere, they do not want peace. The point that this expansion process has reached is one of trickery and deception. Once again they are attempting to scapegoat the Kurds for what has happened. Their approach is like trying to trick a fifteen year old girl. This is the approach they are taking with me. However, they will not succeed. They are saying we will reassess the process; it cannot go on like this. I am calling on Erdogan for some seriousness.
‘‘What does ‘we will start over’ mean? They are not serious or sincere for peace. Their only aim is annihilation. The Prime Minister has no right to act emotionally. I have been kept here for 10 years as the most isolated person on the planet and still I do not act emotionally even in my hardest moment. The peace process cannot be conducted out of concern for votes. They are still worried about their seats. They think by supposedly using me they can solve this problem according to their own wishes. They cannot use me in this way. The expansion is a lie, the real aim is to annihilate the PKK.’’
THE TURKISH SUPRA-IDENTITY IS A HORROR
‘‘Baskin Oran in one of his works says ‘the Turkish supra-identity is frightening.’ It is a judgment that has come too late. He has probably read my writings; he has his own studies as well. He is saying this and so am I. Furthermore there is no real Turkishness in the Turkish identity. Yes, the Turkish supra-identity is frightening; I am calling it a horror. The Turkish supra-identity is being forced upon all the Peoples of Turkey. Using this Turkish supra-identity they have tried creating a dress that is too tight for all the Peoples left over from the Ottoman Empire. They are trying to fit in 10, 20 people in a dress that is too tight and too thick and bound by stiff and permanent laws. By doing this they tried to dissolve cultures and create a compound.’’
There have been approaches to force me to retreat, solitary confinement, physical intervention and such like. However I didn’t retreat, I will not. Regardless of whether I live or die the Kurds will not accept, should not accept anything apart from an honourable peace, they will protect their freedom. The Kurdish people have come to this point. Also they cannot annihilate the PKK by attempting to use me, it is impossible.’’
‘‘There was a girl who was teaching children Kurdish in Diyarbakir, her name was Medya. This 12 year old girl was teaching her mother tongue. A prosecutor of Turkey couldn’t even tolerate this. An investigation was begun. Your prosecutor cannot even tolerate the Kurds learning their mother tongue; is this an expansion? The Kurds learning their language is not even being tolerated. This is cultural genocide. Where in the world can you find such a thing? Even Hitler didn’t do such a thing.’’
It will suffice if they recognise the rights France, who they take as an example, has given to Corsica. Was France’s unitary structure destroyed when they granted the Corsican’s their freedom, rights and territorial autonomy? No. They are not even allowing Kurds to learn their mother tongue.’’
NOTHING APART FROM AN HONOURABLE PEACE CAN BE ACCEPTED
‘‘It is evident from the arrival of the peace groups that I am still capable of convincing the PKK to put down their weapons. They listen to me, they are loyal to me. I have carried out all that is my responsibility for a democratic resolution and peace. The Kurdish people are honourable; they will not accept anything apart from an honourable peace. The Kurds’ will for peace has been formed. We must not let those against peace be victorious. As I have said, I may die here, or be killed. With or without me the Kurds and the Kurdish Movement have come to the point where they can make their own decisions and not compromise their freedom and honour. I cannot make decisions here, I will not. This decision can only be made by the PKK.’’

It will suffice if they recognise the rights France, who they take as an example, has given to Corsica. Was France’s unitary structure destroyed when they granted the Corsican’s their freedom, rights and territorial autonomy? No. They are not even allowing Kurds to learn their mother tongue.’’
NOTHING APART FROM AN HONOURABLE PEACE CAN BE ACCEPTED
‘‘It is evident from the arrival of the peace groups that I am still capable of convincing the PKK to put down their weapons. They listen to me, they are loyal to me. I have carried out all that is my responsibility for a democratic resolution and peace. The Kurdish people are honourable; they will not accept anything apart from an honourable peace. The Kurds’ will for peace has been formed. We must not let those against peace be victorious. As I have said, I may die here, or be killed. With or without me the Kurds and the Kurdish Movement have come to the point where they can make their own decisions and not compromise their freedom and honour. I cannot make decisions here, I will not. This decision can only be made by the PKK.’’
