Barzani arrived in the Cizre districtof Şırnakfor the 4th International Melayê Cizîrî Symposium, and the situation becamechaotic when he entered Turkey with Rambo-wannabe bodyguards carryinglong-barreled weapons.

ThisIt was, in a sense, a violation of the customary visit protocol and protection procedures.

One way or another, our sovereign right was disregarded, as if the great Republic of Turkey were incapable of protecting its guests arriving from another country.will they not have the powera situation like this had emerged.

Let us write with an open heart; it would be a lie to say we were not surprised, but the issue is at the forefront of the agamong them Bahcarriedthe

In the Öcalan matter, the scaleshave completely losttheirbalance, IthinkHe must have thought that in order to both vent the anger of my country's people, redirect their reaction, and at least somewhat fortify his base, he said "this is the opportunity" and openedHe kept his mouth shut and hiseyes closed.

Even if itdidn't rain, itthundered nicely.

He delivered his message with the sentence“It is a disgrace in a single word.”

BahÇeli's reaction was not just about these bodyguards carrying the "Kurdistan flag" appearing in public as if they were putting on a show of force.

AKP Şırnak Deputy Arslan Tatar said to Barzani, “You are the son of that person, you are the son of Mela Mustafa Barzani. You are the light of our eyes. We, in our childhowe grew up with your dream... If we sawKurdishnessinanyone, we saw it through you,” and was also furious at the flattery.flattery.

Arslan Tatar'swordswere, in fact, the ultimate scandal. Because these were notjust individual remarks, butofficial statementsmade at an event where officials were present, spoken while looking everyonedirectly in the eye, carryingheavy political messages. However, for some reason,they were not discussed as much as Barzani's bodyguardswere.

Nevertheless, in this theater of betrayal they call the“process,” the people of my country have somehow seen that there are no longer any limits or boundaries to thespoiledbehavior of the Kurdish nationalists.

Let us continue..

Bahçeli's such harsh cdespite the outcry, no one in Erbil took a step back.

From the 'Barzani Headquarters Spokesperson's office, "We, may Allah grant guidance to Devlet Bahçeli, that racismWe thought he had abandoned racism and chauvinism. However, it appears that he is still the same old Grey Wolf, only now he is disguised in sheep's clothing, as the diplomatic a statement that isincompatible with the tone, written in what could be described ascoffeehouseslang.

“Unfortunately, Devlet Bahçeli, regarding Barzani's visit to Cizre and his participation in the Melayê Cizîrî Symposiumspoke again with a chauvinistic mindset regarding the issue; he madestatements that are far from any custom or tradition and serve no one,he said, attacking the MHP leadersharply, then clarified the backgroundof the matter in three sentences:“President Barzani’s visit

isAllsecuritydetailsand measures wereimplemented in accordance with the protocol agreementbetween the Kurdistan Regionand the relevant institutionsof Turkey.

This is exactly where the rubber meets the road!

In other words, as is customary, prior to Barzani's arrival, an agreement was reached between the Republic of Turkeyand the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding how securitywould be ensured in Cizre,how many bodyguards would accompany him,and what kind of weapons these bodyguardswould be permitted to carry.

In short, the Şırnak Governor's Office, the Cizre District Governor's Office, and the provincial and districtpolice chiefs were both aware of and had approvedthe fact that Barzani would come to Cizre with bodyguards carrying long-barreled weapons.

No one had entered Turkey just by walking in freely.

Moreover, InDeputy Minister of Interior Münir Karaloğlu was among the participants of the symposium, and he even took the podium togive a speech.

Of course, wEveryonewho is even remotely familiar with the situation knows that none of this will happen without a "political green light."

The government either did not calculate that there would be this muchnoise,or they thought, "A littlenoisewill be made, and we will pretend toreact."us, the heart of my fellowcountryman, wewill please, we will regain the lost ground,” did hethink?

We don't know. The answeris probably we will find out indue time.

When the issuemoved to the forefront of theagenda, the Ministry of Interiorlaunched an investigation as a matter of honor. For this,two civil service inspectassigned hisduty.

The Foreign Ministry did not lag behindeither; they reacted with a few hastily writtensentencesin the middle of the night.

Barzani's targeting of Bahçelithestatement, finding it “unacceptable in terms ofcontent and tone.”It announced that they had requested an “explanation” from Erbil and demanded that the necessary actions be taken immediately against those responsible for the statement in question.

It announced that they had requested an “explanation” from Erbil anddemanded that the necessary actions be taken immediately against those responsible for the statementin question.

Should we laugh orcry when we readthis? We are at a loss.

The mighty Foreign Ministrythinks that sucha statement was made without Barzani's knowledgeandsocannot be seen. In that case, since themain person responsible is Barzani,what kind of "action" does he expectto be taken against him? Or is hisonly concern to make a statement just togo through the motions,as if to say 'just let the friends see usdoing something' and move past the issue?to change?it?

Barzani's show of force in Cizre with hisbodyguardsis not a simple matter; this is anopen political message to the Kurds inTurkey.

Let's look at the recentLet's put on our glasses.

Barzani sees himself as the founding leader of the Kurdistan Regional Government, the political representative of the Peshmerga tradition, and among the Kurdspositions itself as a historical authority.

That is why they did not come unarmed or with a modest delegation that would not draw attention; they came as a heavily guarded “head of state”wanted to create a pattern. They calculated that this would be seenand valuedby Kurdishvoters and politicians.

Of course, Cizre was a specificallychosenlocation.

It has symbolic importance.

It both carries the traces of Turkey's last 40years of conflict-riddenperiod; andbears the marks of the Kurdish politicalmemory,as well asboth its signature and the KCK–PKK baseis a district where it is concentrated.district.

The messageis clear:

“We are not just a regional administrationin Iraqwe are not; we are appealing to theentire Kurdishcommunity.”

Naturally, the bodyguards carrying long-barreled weapons were thevisual multiplierof this message.

“Theprocess” naBarzani wants to seize a role for himself in the play being staged withHe must be so sure that Turkey is being dragged towardbeing torn apartby the PKKthat he asks, “What is my sharehere?”preparing by calling it 'evil'.

It seems they have no intention of losing the entire pie to the PKK.

We can say that they are already trying to fortify whoever issympathetic to them in theregion. Long-barreled weaponsthe flashyattire, the special forces officerswearing uniformsand the Peshmerga posing in shirts reminiscent of them in Turkey through the PR theyconducted should not be underestimated.

We know very wellhow important symbolism isin Kurdish sociology.

That is why,if thingsgo south sooner or later, Barzani's readinessIt would not be wrong to say that he is trying to take a positionstarting from today so as not to be caughtunprepared.Barzani,regarding the current government in Turkey,

If they hit the brakes, the "process" that Tayyip Erdoğan relies onto make his power absolutewillfail.could encounter. This isa riskthat cannot be taken. Therefore,the government, considering the potential political consequences,ispaving the way for Barzani,saying "yes" to these and similar demands.

As long as he continues to stand behind them.

There is also the Khalidiyya branch of the Naqshbandi orderaspect to the matter. Let us promiseto make that the subject of another article;given the current state and circumstances of the country,let us be thankful that Barzani did not come with a battalion of Peshmerga, let alone two bodyguards carrying long-barreled weapons,and with that, let usput a period to our article.
