KÜRD ULUSAL BİLİNÇ ve HAKLARININ ÖNÜNDEKİ ENGEL NO 1 = TURKOFON/ARABOFON HAİN KÜRD LİDERLER ÖRNEĞİN DİYAP AĞA GİBİ HAİNLER: "HEP BİRİZ, KARDEŞİZ" DEMİŞTİ İşgalci İslamo-Faşist Türkiye hem Lozan'da hem Ankara'da hep aynı yalan tezi ileri sürdü; türklerle kürtlerin birliğini, bütünlüğünü savundu. O günlerde Dersim Mebusu Diyap Ağa, sözde türk meclisi'nde çokça alkışlanan konuşmasında “dinimiz, diyanetimiz, aslımız, neslimiz hep birdir; bizim içimizde ayrılık gayrılık yoktur, hep biriz, kardeşiz” yalanını dillendirdi.. sözde türk meclisi'ndeki kürd milletvekillerinden Bitlis Mebusu Yusuf Ziya Bey de şunları söyledi: “Biz kürdler vaktiyle Avrupa'nın Sevr paçavrasını ayaklarımız altında çiğnedik ve bütün manasıyla bize hak vermek isteyenlere iade ettik. Nasıl ki Elcezire cephesinde çarpıştık, nasıl ki türklerle beraber kanımızı döktük, onlardan ayrılmadık ve ayrılmak istemedik ve istemeyiz…” Alın size ihanet! Bu sözde kürd liderlerin sözlerinden daha aşağılık bir ihanet türü görülmemiştir.

İşgalci, katil Irak devleti’nin kürd kürd halkına uyguladığı Enfal Operasyonu 3 Yıl sürdü ve bu operasyon kapsamında daha önce eşi benzeri yaşanmamış olan Halepçe Katliamı vahşeti de kürd halkına yaşatıldı. Resmi kayıtlara göre 1986-1989 tarihleri arasında süren Enfal Operasyonu, kürdlerin topyekün bir yıkımdan geçirilmesi hedeflenen bir operasyondu. Katil Saddam uyguladığı bu vahşet ile insanların tepkisini çekmemek için Kuran’daki Enfal Suresinin ismini alarak, gerçekleştirdiği operasyona Enfal Operasyonu demiştir.
