In three days, on the other hand, it was announced that 130,000 Kurdish refugees fleeing ISIS attacks had entered Turkey from 8 separate places on the Turkish border in the ISIS-controlled Kurdish region of Kobani (Mursitpinar / Opposite of Suruc).
ISIS has directed its attacks on Syrian Kurdish villages linked to the PYD (Democratic Union Party), which is under its control on the Turkish-Syrian border between Carchemish and Ceylanpinar.
ISIS has added a new dimension to the turmoil, bloodshed and brutality that already exists in Syria and Iraq since the beginning of June 2014. Regime opponents rather than regime forces in Syria; In Iraq, attacks turned to Kurds, Turkmens and Yezidis after the initial attack on the so-called Central State.
The fact that it targets the opponents of the regime rather than the regime forces in Syria and Iraq, considering the logistical support provided and the targets they attack, shows that ISIS has state support and their operations are directed by trained military academic staff.
While the USA, which is the reason for the destabilization in Iraq, did not take any action for the Syrian people, who were subjected to the oppression by the regime, the action plan against ISIS in the third month of its activity is also a thought-provoking initiative.
Is ISIS the problem? Or is it the unstable political environments that lead organizations like ISIS to come to life?
60% of the people (15,159,580 person) were negatively affected by the regime in the Syrian Revolution, which started in March 2011 and has been continuing for 3.5 years. (234,000 martyrs, 1,900,000 wounded, 259,530 prisoners, 100,120 missing, 3,600,440 refugees, 7,750,000 immigrants, 12,089,480 tortured 'martyrs, wounded, prisoners, missing, immigrants and refugees', 1,200,000 children refugees in neighboring countries, 4,300,000 children in need of humanitarian aid and 2,945,000 buildings destroyed[1] )[2]
This unimaginable persecution and anarchy have prevailed in Iraq, Libya and Yemen for years. The Islamic World cannot heal its bleeding wounds, and it relies on countries with explicit and implicit incentives for a solution to deepen the wound day by day.
Islamic Countries should not wait for the initiatives of the USA, the United Nations or international organizations other than the Islamic Countries to explore opportunities for joint action by combining their individual interests in Muslim countries where political-social-economic-military crises prevail.
The Islamic World is in urgent need for a new organization that will work independently of the United Nations and certain power centers to help to restore stability in Islamic countries where internal security, foreign security, economic, social and political crises prevail.
There is a need for a different power than the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC), which has operational capabilities and powers, and is formed by States that commit to comply with its rules and contribute, and have the characteristics of being an Islamic Country.
Its name can be “Islamic Countries Crisis Management Confederation”.
It must consist of voluntary states which meet the criteria.
States should be able to participate and bind to this organization through agreements.
There should be a permanent working parliament formed by the representatives of the member countries, which will ensure that the decisions are taken and implemented. Parliament should serve the purposes of its establishment by the will of the member states. When necessary, parties in crisis regions should be represented in parliament according to their application.
A crisis center should be established which is dependent on the parliament and accountable.
Within the crisis center, there should be operation centers that can manage military, political, legal, economic and social operations separately.
Member countries should provide the necessary financial support.
It should also have a military power that acts under the control of the crisis center and is formed with the contributions of the member states.
Activity center should be determined by the Parliament, taking into account the proposals of the crisis zones and member countries, and it should be changed when necessary.
Confederation's approach to the parties of crises should be constructive, peaceful, equitable, fully respectful to human rights and freedoms, unifying, protecting the social culture, helpful and, when necessary, coercive.
If the Islamic World could have such a Confederation, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and Syria could have been turned into a fair form of government without the Revolutions, without the occupation of Iraq by the USA, without these countries being in turmoil and being destroyed.
We still have time.
Instead of the “Anti-Terrorism Meeting” held in Jeddah, “Crisis Intervention Meeting in Islamic Countries” could be held without the need for the United States, with the participation of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Oman.
Other Muslim Countries could have attended this meeting. In this meeting, the foundations of the "Crisis Management Confederation" could have been laid.
It could have also started its work from Syria.
With interventions from a center with the facilities of the countries that will join the Confederation, the regime and the opposition in Syria could be brought together in a mid-point without destroying each other.
A fair administration could be established in their own autonomous regions, by preserving the social culture and belief, by granting full equal rights and freedoms, and by an acceptable general election.
With the solution of the Syrian crisis, a remarkable example could be presented to the whole Islamic World and the West, which made the problems inextricable by exploiting them.
This would be a MUSLIM solution that would ensure the happiness of the Syrian people and allow all immigrants and refugees to return to their homeland and rebuild their country.
It will be possible for peace to prevail not only in the Islamic world but also all over the world with the realization of the “CONFEDERATION of ISLAMIC COUNTRIES”.
