The answer is quite clear: There is no reason for them to like the few Kurds, who have lived in Czechoslovakia (and later the Czech Republic) after the so-called Velvet revolution. In fact, to expect them to like the Kurds, including myself, would be in its essence a baseless impertinence, because:

– We have never lived in the Czech Republic or former Czechoslovakia under false identity, with forged documents.
– We have never helped the internationally wanted Turkish criminals enter and settle in the Czech Republic, unlike some of the local Turks.
– We have never helped these criminals establish trade companies and obtain residence permissions, with the help of some high police officers, unlike some of the local Turks.
– We have never liked nor wished the presence of the illegal Islamic capital of these criminals in the Czech Republic.
– We have never tried, as some of these Turkish criminals have, to illegally export sensitive military technology (for example the “Tamara” advanced radar system for Saddam Hussein)
– We have never, like these Turkish criminals, turned Prague into an international “coordination center” for car-stealing in Germany and Austria.
– We have never, like these Turkish criminals, founded in Prague the biggest counterfeiting workshop for forged banknotes and credit cards, which were later distributed throughout the entire continent, unlike some of the local Turks.
– We have never flooded the Czech Republic and other European countries with heroin – poison, that has destroyed the lives of thousands of young people, unlike some of the local Turks.
– We have never, with the money from the sale of heroine, founded the prestigious Hilton hotel in the center of Prague, to find new market for this poison, unlike some of the local Turks. This list of reasons, why some of the police officials would rather like to hate, pursue, kill and destroy the lives of me and other local Kurds, is infinitely long. We have always seen the Czech republic as our second home, with all the arising obligations – including our legal and moral obligation to inform the respective authorities about the above-mentioned wrongdoings – as I have informed the highest officials responsible for the national security – including the then-Minister of Justice Jan Ruml.
“We have no cross hidden under our arms, nor any sin burned to our fronts” – we have loved this country, this nation, and this is our sin, which some of the malicious wrongdoers from the ranks of Czech police would never forgive us.
For generations, we are fighting against the criminals of all kinds, and we are also fighting against local traitors of all human values.
We only wish this fight to be fair and honourable, which it isn’t.
