Book, large size, paperback

“Dr. The book "Şıvan" is a work that mirrors the Kurdish national Liberation struggle and counter-arrangements in Kurdistan between 1965 and 1975. In this book, we will see how the internal and external contradictions between the Kurds of the period were reflected in the Kurdistan struggle, how they intervened from the outside and continued to dominate by creating internal turmoil. It is a work that will help us perceive the Kurds' shortcomings in the struggle, their weaknesses, and the ways in which they use their weaknesses against themselves, and find answers to their questions.

The fragmentation of Kurdistan triggered the fragmentation in the Kurdish movement. One of these grave events is the sacrifice of Northern Kurdistan leaders Dr Şıvan (Dr. Sait Kırmızıtoprak) and Sait Elçi to the desires of the colonialists. 
The place of Barzanis and IKDP in the Kurdistan National Liberation Struggle is positive in many respects and their positive roles are indisputable. However, the mistakes they committed against the Kurdish National Movements in other parts, due to their relations with the Turkish and Iranian states, led to the liquidation of the Eastern, Northern and Southwestern Kurdistan movements, and ultimately the liquidation of the Kurdish national Liberation Struggle in Southern Kurdistan with the 1975 Algiers agreement.

It has become important to understand that the Kurdish movement cannot be defended by holding a part or a valley of Kurdistan.

Dr. The main reason why Şivan and Said Elçi were killed; It is the desire of many states to intervene in the Kurdistan movement, to surround it politically and to liquidate it.

TC, Dr. The preparation of the Şıvan group for guerrilla struggle in Southern Kurdistan accelerated the immediate liquidation of this movement.

Dr. Since the liquidation of Şivan and his movement was not weighed sufficiently and correctly, we see that the negative and raw relations between Kurds and parties continue, leading to the same mistakes, tragedies and childhood illnesses, and that the culture of democracy has not only remained in their names, but has not been able to mature and institutionalize within the framework of Kurdish national unity. .

We see that for 44 years, the public has been waiting for the IKDP to provide information that will enlighten the Kurdish public about the Saitler Massacre.
Today, beyond being the leader of IKDP, Mr. Massoud Barzani, as the President of the Federated State of Kurdistan, has left a similar approach in the dark, and although he should have presented the information about the Said Massacre to be brought to light, their graves to be shown to their families, brought back side by side and buried, this has not happened.
If Mr. Kurdistan Regional President shows this approach, the attitude of the Regional Presidency and IKDP will be taken as an example and welcomed by all Kurdistanis, especially the patriots of Northern and Eastern Kurdistan.
