Chapter 278: Dungeon: A Cold Winter (2)

The first update

"Are you saying that the Soviet Union will support the armed insurgency created by the Kurds in eastern Turkey?" Hearing Assad's reply to the Soviet government, which he had relayed, Ocalan was both surprised and puzzled. He was pleasantly surprised that his dream of realizing the final Grand Kurdish Crescent had never been so close, and he even fantasized about the moment when he would one day declare himself Kurdish president in Erbil. It is doubtful why the USSR would risk a face-to-face with Turkey to support itself.

"Yes, my friend. The GRU special forces officers of the Soviet intelligence service will be in charge of training your fighters in Kobani to prepare them for the war ahead. "Assad and Ocalan have an extraordinary relationship in private, so he is the one to convey Moscow's meaning.

"Isn't it your dream to get rid of Turkish rule?" Assad is desperate for Turkey's armed secession, which is definitely a great thing for the Syrian government, and there is nothing more gratifying to see Turkey's bad luck. After all, if Syria wants to rise, it cannot avoid the problem of Turkey.

Ocalan is also thinking about how to divide Turkey and create a Kurdistan state. In the Treaty of Lausanne, Kurdish interests were betrayed by Turkey, who ruled the vast majority of Kurdish areas and also divided a portion of their land to Iraq, which is why the Kurds have deep prejudices against Turkey and Iraq. In Ocalan's eyes, they are the Kurdish insurgents.

"Please take the trouble to tell General Secretary Yanayev that he has accepted the gift he gave us. I also understand his intentions. Since our purpose is the same, then we are also allies. "And I'm going to plan an attack in Turkey's eastern city in the near future." The army harassing the government. It's a dangerous plan, and the newly arrived weapons will make our actions more certain. ”

This is Ocalan's vote, at least he wants Yanayev to see his value, and the latter will be relieved to provide more military aid to Ocalan. The USSR also intended to coerce Turkey on the Kurdish issue and force the other side to make concessions and negotiate on the issue of the Black Sea straits.

And so began the tragedy in Turkey, when a week after the shipment of arms arrived in Syria, mass Kurdish riots broke out almost simultaneously in the major cities of eastern Turkey. Those people who are in the name of Syrian independence and freedom spontaneously took to the streets to protest.

Turkey has never been soft on Kurdish demonstrations, because after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, which inherited the Ottoman legacy, betrayed all Kurdish interests. This also started the armed insurgency of the Kurds against the Turkish government. Since 1925, the Turkish government has continuously suppressed the armed insurrection of the Kurds, and even resorted to genocide to brutally destroy the Kurds physically and mentally. Countless Kurdish corpses have created a situation in which the two sides are at odds.

Heavily armed police with sticks took to the streets to suppress the crowd, using water cannons to disperse the people. Even shooting at innocent people. Some women cried bitterly as they held the body of their son. Some of the policemen were laughing and laughing past her, and some even fired a few more shots at the corpse before removing the muzzle of the gun from the poor man after confirming death.

When the police thought they were in control, the armed Kurdistan Workers moved into action. With Soviet arms aid, the Kurdish workers were much stronger than before, and they poured in from all directions like a tidal wave, surrounding the executioners who had killed their compatriots.

The police, who had been arrogant a minute before, were terrified at the point of the enemy's guns, murderous PKK militants, whose shotguns were as comical as children's toys in front of their fully automatic weapons. The Kurdish armed forces are far more well-armed than the police.

So the policeman, who was invincible just now, has now become a Kurdish lost dog. The soldiers of the Workers' Party were not good-tempered. They took out the Turks who had just shot civilians with their guns, and then lined up in a line and shot them all. The routed policemen fled in a panic. Kurdish militants occupy advantageous positions.

The unrest in the city further expanded, and the Kurds occupied some buildings and street corners while the Turkish military was still not mobilized, preparing for a long struggle with the Turkish army.

Defence Minister Sabahaddin was about to fall asleep when an urgent phone rang and pulled him straight out of his bed. He held the phone and said in a somewhat agitated tone, "What did you say?" The Kurdistan Workers' Party launched an armed riot? Are they just rioting in the eastern cities of Turkey? ”

When the other party's answer was to capture the city, Sabahatin finally couldn't sit still. This was really not good news, and he hurriedly called President Demirel to report this important news to him.

"The Kurdistan Workers' Party rioted in the eastern cities, right?" Demirel's reaction was apparently much more bland than Sabahatin's, and there have been countless armed uprisings of the Kurds throughout history. The Turkish authorities have invariably adopted a harsh approach, and of course the winner is the Turkish government in each case.

When he learned more that the Kurds who started the rebellion had a strong armed force, his heart began to feel uneasy, "Immediately mobilize the Turkish army to suppress the Kurdish rebellion, the sooner the better." I have a bad premonition, Minister Sabahhatin. ”

"I see, President Demirel." Sabahatin replied firmly, "We will let the Kurds go and never return." After all, the desire of this group of rebels to establish their Kurdistan is absolutely impossible in Turkish hands. ”

"The Kurds chose to start a rebellion at this time, and I am afraid that someone is behind it." Demirel's heart was faintly uneasy, "That old fox of Assad in Syria is probably hiding behind our back to watch our jokes now." And maybe there was a shadow of the Soviet government behind this rebellion. ”

There are only a handful of countries that want to cause an accident in Turkey, because there are two countries around him that are eyeing him, the most likely is Syria, followed by the Soviet Union, which has been in conflict recently.

Hearing Demirel's answer, Sabahhatin was taken aback, "You mean that the Soviet government is behind the armed rebellion of the Kurds and helps them establish Kurdistan?" ”

"How could an old fox like Yanayev do it directly." Demirel held the microphone with one hand and rubbed his temples with the other, and said with a headache, "And Syria's Assad, as a dog in the saddle of Yanayev, must also have a part behind it." The Soviet Union was nothing more than the ultimate mastermind. These are just speculations on our part, and there is no real evidence. Perhaps the top government in Moscow is now sitting in front of the TV and watching jokes when they see the news of the riots in Turkey. ”

"The top priority is to deal with this turmoil and not let it continue to expand." Demirel gave Sabahatin an order, "Immediately mobilize the Turkish security forces to maintain positive pressure, the sooner the better." The Soviet guys certainly did more than that, and the riots were just the beginning. ”

"Everything is ready, the tanks of the repression are already on the way." Sabahhatin said.

Demirel was suddenly a little frightened now, he panicked that the Soviet Union was definitely not the only one behind them, there must be worse things waiting for the Turkish government behind, and the Soviet Union's dark ways behind them were not much inferior to their crude interventions.

As for US aid? Even President Mario said that as long as the Soviet Union did not directly attack Turkish territory, they would sit idly by and ignore other disputes.

"Bastard, what the hell do those guys in Moscow have to do!" Demirel held his forehead and said anxiously. (To be continued.) )
