Aram Publishing House introduced two new books consisting of memoirs and letters to the readers. Memet Baytimur's book "Both Kurdish and Administrative Chief", consisting of memoirs, and Aramê Rûspî's book, "Siwarê Çîrokên Zarokan", consisting of letters in Kurdish and Turkish, took their place on the shelves in March.

 

BOTH THE KURDISH AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHIEF

 

Author Memet Baytimur's book "Both Kurdish and Administrative Chief" consists of 433 pages. The book is not just a series of personal memories, it contains an inside look, a first-hand witness, to the century-old system of lies and oppression that rises on the absence of others. It is a solid reference for those who want to understand the state's approach to the Kurdish issue, its centuries-old denial, its practices, its mental codes, how it designed and reacted, how it was organized, and the intellectual structure of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, and an important reference in terms of its direct testimony. source.

 

The following statements appeared on the back page of the book: “(…) I worked as a officer in attandance, district governor, branch manager, deputy governor and occasionally deputy governor for 35.5 years. They forced me to retire long before I turned 65. Despite its bright appearance from the outside, I cannot say that I love or embrace this profession.

 

DIVINIES OF MILITARY GUARDIAN

 

Especially if you are a Kurd and, more importantly, if you can oppose, even if secretly, the immediate silencing of your people's just and humane demands and the oppression being inflicted on your people, you have no place in that job, they will drag you out. When I say they drag on, I do not mean the community of civil administrators. Those who play with the buttons that erase their names are the gods of military tutelage and the seers of intelligence organizations. My 35.5 years have passed with monitoring, profiling, wiretapping, follow-ups and investigations. If I were someone who could fit into patterns and say goodbye to the memorizations imposed by the Republic of Turkey, my work would of course please myself and the gods. Absolute obedience is happiness for some; You have peace of mind, you will benefit more from the blessings of the world, sorry, the blessings of the Republic of Turkey. You will be one of the respected ones. However, those things did not match my nature. On top of that, I was an obedient Kurd. Still, it's a miracle that I was able to stay there for 35.5 years..."

 

SİWARÊ ÇÎROKÊN ZAROKAN

 

The book "Siwarê Çîrokên Zarokan", which is in the letter category and written by Aramê Rûspî, consists of 236 pages. The following anecdote appeared on the back cover of the book: “Sometimes, when it gets heavy and you can't carry it, you want to empty your heart, you want to talk endlessly, to understand, to sort the words one after another as if unraveling a ball of yarn, without taking a breath. Or you want to get rid of the whole burden at once by screaming like an explosion. And then you see that all this is not enough, you eventually become silent. You are buried in a bitter silence...

 

That's when you recognize the miracle of silence and feel your heart lighten. You understand that the heart beats and begins only in silence. Because silence is limitlessness and eternity, like the heart. That's why, instead of struggling in shallow waters by talking, it wants to sail into the oceans by staying silent, because it can only exist in the infinity of silence and grow in the limitlessness..."
