<strong>and</strong> Marxists will gain the rights for the Kurdish people?<br />

I would like to tell them if their ancestors throughout<br />

two thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> four hundred years gained nothing but<br />

mass murders, displacement <strong>and</strong> oppression, their fate<br />

would not be better even after two thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> four<br />

hundred more years. I would like to apologize to them<br />

that today is not like the past <strong>and</strong> we have no time to<br />

wait, because in two thous<strong>and</strong> four hundred years time<br />

we may not find even one Kurd to enjoy the fruit of their<br />

struggle, <strong>and</strong> the Kurdish liberation movement should<br />

concentrate on the interests of <strong>Kurds</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Kurdistan</strong>.<br />

theories <strong>and</strong> applied them to our people <strong>and</strong> our liberation<br />

movement such as what the Chinese leader Mao Zedong<br />

said regarding a long lasting war <strong>without</strong> knowledge that<br />

the Chinese leader applied this to their war against Japan<br />

because the Chinese had the following advantages: the<br />

difference in population numbers <strong>and</strong> the large distance<br />

between the two countries, which led to huge difficulties<br />

<strong>and</strong> costs that tired the Japanese in a long lasting war.<br />

This was a theory based on studies <strong>and</strong> science that is<br />

why it succeeded there in that country's circumstances,<br />

but this does not mean that it is valid everywhere <strong>and</strong> all<br />

the time. Here I want to mention an example that I<br />

experienced more than 40 years ago: I still remember<br />

what Mr. Salah Badradeen said during the seventh<br />

conference of the Kurdish Democratic Party in Syria held<br />

in the town of Amuda in September 1969: “<strong>The</strong> implication<br />

of the racist policy of the Arab belt in Syria is in the<br />

interests of the Kurdish people!!” His reasoning for that<br />

was: “<strong>The</strong> great Lenin (according to his words) the founder<br />

of the Soviet state carried out his first revolution in 1905<br />
