*Strasbourg/NewsViewPoint/- Europe has a unique Chance, but also Duty, and even Urgent Need, to Efficiently Protect those Syrian Kurds (of the "Democratic Syrian Forces") who are notoriously Threatened to be Soon Attacked by a Military Intervention of Turkey's Troops and its Armed Lackeys, After the Withdrawal of USA's Soldiers accross the Northern Borders of Syria, where Destructive Bombardments, Demolitions, and other Attacks by Ankara's Troops have reportedly Started already.

(Turkish Bombings on Syrian Kurds -AlJazeera 9/10/2019 +Eurofora screenshot- YPG have reportedly asked for a "Non-Fly Zone", while USA's Pentagon claimed that Air Operations' Data Flows have been Stopped for Turkish Military Airplanes inside Syria)
-----------------
Turkey has notoriously Profited from ISIL's and Other Deadly Islamist Terrorists Cowardly Targetting also Civilian People, while also obviously Aiming to Invade a part of Syria's Land, already Since the Beginning of that Country's crisis, as they did Recently at Peaceful Afrin's Kurdish District. On the Contrary, Syrian Kurds have Risked their Lives to Fight Succesfully against ISIL's Terror, and have Focused Mainly on ReOrganizing their Ancestral Region.
Syria is Europe's Neighborhood, and Not USA's, so that Europeans are First to be Affected by what is happening in that Country.
Both the (recent and not really finished) spread of Deadly Islamist Terrorism, Cowardly Targetting also many Civilian People, and the (almost Synchronous and Parallel) 2015-2016+ Mass Asylum Seekers/Irregular Migrants' Crisis, threatening to Revive Nowadays, Strongly Affected Europe, by Events related, in one way or another, mainly to Syria, which is adjacent to EU Member Country Cyprus, and near Growing Oil/Gas Findings at the South-Eastern Mediterrean Deep Sea Area, between Cyprus, Israel and Egypt, (which can Soon start DIRECT Energy Transports towards the EU, without being obliged to Transit through Any Other, 3rd Foreign Country, thanks, f.ex., to New Technology of Liquefied Gas, and/or "East-Med" Pipeline project, Sponsored by the EU, etc).
Moreover, Jailed ISIS' and dangerous Deadly Islamist Terrorists currently Imprisoned in that Northern Syria's area, until now Supervised by USA's Forces, after being Cought by the Kurdish-led "Syrian Democratic Forces", canNot be entrusted to Turkey, which has, notoriously, Profited (GeoPoliticaly and even Economicaly) from ISIS' and Other Armed Islamist Gangs' Terror during too Many Years.
If anybody had to Replace USA's Protection of Syrian Kurds against ISIS, it's only well Organized European Forces which could really do that.
By a Timely Coincidence, Reality raised that Topical Issue, as Incoming, New EU's High Representative for External Action, Experienced former EU Parliament's President, Josep Borrell, speaking to EU Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, in Brussels, Urged to Boost EU's Capacity to Deploy on the Ground not just 35.000 Soldiers across the World, (as it does Nowadays), but almost the Double : 60.000, (as he said, Denouncing the Non-Implementation yet, of such an EU Plan, Drafted Since ... 1999 !), while also Using more Efficiently, by Better Coordination, those "€ 260 Billions" Currently spend on Defense by EU Member States, i.e. about "More than China, much More than Russia, and second only to the USA" : - "We Have the Instruments to play Power politics", so that "We should reinforce EU's International Role and further our Military Capacity to Act". For that purpose, "the EU has to be more Operational on the Ground" and "Ready to Deploy Forces, Starting with our Neighbourhood”, he pointed out.
----------------------------------------------------------
But, if it's only to Let the Turkish Army Invade and Occupy a "Zone" inside Syria, which extends accross the Syrian-Turkish Borders, while EU might be Reduced Only into Controlling a Southern Area, where ISIL's former "Capital" Raqqa etc. was, i.e. Practically letting Ankara ...Expulse the Kurds from their Ancestral Lands, where they were Living for Thousands of Years, since the Ancient Times of Xenophon, and "Replace" them with Turkey's Islamized Lackeys and Armed Gangs, so that EU Soldiers would Serve Only as a "Bunker" Covering that Turkish Military Occupation from Any contact with the Syrian Government's Army, that is to say : Diminishing EU's role into Serving what was Turkey's notorious Aim from the Beginning of the Syrian Crisis, then, ...it's Better Not to do Anything of that kind, and Keep it Clean, Out of, and Far Away from such kind of Dirty Tricks !
In that case, Syrian Kurds would have No Other Choice, in fact, than to Unite, in one way or another, with the Syrian National Government of Assad Junior, who has Recently started to progressively ReUnite the Country, with Russia's Help. Relevant Statements, not excluding such Developments, already Started to be reportedly made, by Both Sides, during this Week.
Both an Urgent EU and/or Syrian Government's moves, could and should Provide elementary Guarantees to Turkey that this Syrian Kurdish Area will Not be used as a Backyard for Any Eventual "Attacks", by Other Groups, against it in the Future, so that Ankara's alleged Claim clearly Stops to be abused as a Hollow Pretext.
Already, such Attempts to better Secure the Syrian - Turkish Borders were reportedly made, during Last Summer, with several Concrete Measures, Together with USA and Syrian Kurds, (including, f.ex., Demolitions of some Border Fortifications, Bridges, etc), but Ankara found that insufficient, and wants to Transfer mainly its Lackeys among various Islamists' Armed Gangs from Idlib Area a.o. to Syrian Kurds' Ancestral Land.
--------------------------------------------
+ Meanwhile, Syrian Kurds suddenly acquired an unexpected, (Symbolic but Real) Importance in Europe's core Nation of France, as it emerged Nowadays, after French President Emmanuel Macron's speech at a Paris' Ceremony on the Brutal Killing of 4 Police Officers in their Offices by an Islamized and Radicalized Technician from Guadeloupe, Hired in Paris' Police Headquarters, but whose Strange Behavior, Conversion to Islam, and Cynical Remarks even on "Charlie Hebdo" Journalists' Massacre since 2015, had, Scandalously, not Alerted those Responsible to Track potentialy Dangerous Radical, until he was Shot down by a New Recruit : Macron launched a Call for All the People, of any origin or confession, to get United in a decisive Fight against the "Islamist Hydra" of Deadly Islamist Terrorism's Divisive Manipulations.
>>> But, Who else in the World has Already Succeeded to do so, unless the ... Syrian Kurds ? Indeed, inside their "Rojava" Region of Northern Syria, amidst Turkish and ISIL's threats, added to Saddam's Regime, they are, until now, the Only one who have Managed to Bring and Keep Together Atheists, Christians (f.ex. Yazidi, Armenians, etc), Arabs, Muslims (Suni and Shia), Kurds, and Various Other Communities, Refugees and Local People, etc., (while also promoting Womens' Rights, decisively but without excess), inside their quite Original Socio-Political Regime, using a Collective Ideology, and Referencesto a Rich Ancient History, which seems to Work in Real Practice, Despite (or, rather, Because of) all the Threats and Risks around them Nowdays, (including ISIS' main Armed Gangs who were Attacking them right from the start) !
=> In Consequence, wouldn't it be obviously Interesting for Nowadays Europe and others in the World, currently Seeking Urgently an Efficient Way to Bring and Keep United Together all their People against such an "Islamist Hydra"'s Deadly Divisions and Terrorism, as President Macron Denouncerd Today (Comp. Supra), to just have a Look on How those Syrian Kurds really Managed to do so, even amidst the Worst and most Dangerous Circumstances, in order to Find and be Inspired by the Best Workable Practical Solutions to this Topical and Vital Issue ?
Indeed, mutatis-mutandis, after all, Perhaps, (with that Rare, if not Unique workable Example Nowadays, almost in the vicinity), they might Help us, in Fact, much More than We (Europeans) could Help them...

Sarkozy and Merkel : June 2009 solution to May 2005 "NO" ?
- Will French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angie Merkel live up from June 2009 to their obvious Historic European mission to revitalize, and re-launch the "European Dream", after the series of 3 "NO" since May 2005 in France, the Netherlands and Ireland, by renewing, and changing the EU with fresh stimulus, big horizons, and values attractive for EU Citizens ?
Whatever views anyone might have, it's a Fact that, recently, EU's political spectrum didn't produce other more charismatic and popular EU leaders than Merkel and Sarkozy, starting from September 2005 and May 2007, respectively.
This trend was confirmed, in one way or another, both during the German EU presidency in 2007 (shared by Merkel with the SPD), and mainly during the French EU Presidency in 2008, (with Sarkozy "free" to move).
The positive 2009 EU Polls are a natural consequence :
- Both with 72% Sarkozy and Merkel are considered by EU Citizens to be "the most Influential" leaders in Europe, by far.
- They are the only EU political leaders to attract a Majority of "Positive" views by EU Citizens, (Merkel over 60%, Sarkozy over 50%, particularly in the continent).
- 60% of EU Citizens find the 2008 French EU Presidency "Good", (and the satisfaction grows up to 67,5% in continental Europe).
The Poll was made by "OpinionWay" in big EU countries as Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, (with the only exception of France), from 26 to 28 May 2009.

But the most important is that both Franco-German leaders seem willing to, at last, really start serious business on EU's indispensable renovation and Renaissance from 2009 : Year of crucial EU and German Elections.
Therefore, this time, the joint European move by Sarkozy and Merkel, which just published a common Franco-German Manifesto, aims to stimulate aspirations and action not only in their respective countries, but also in many other EU "partners", as they say.
Both on EU economy, social values and scientifico-technologic research, as well as on Turkey's controversial EU bid, obviously incompatible with a popular Political Europe, whose Citizens can find a collective Identity and popular Values, they have already started to magnetize various growing voices accross the European landscape :
"Today, more than ever, it' time for action", they stress from the outset.
Facing "an unprecedented Global financial and economic Crisis", "Europeans must get resolutely involved if they want for the World which is being built to meet their Values of Liberty, Solidarity and Justice".
"That's what we want" and "propose to our Partners" :
* "A strong Europe, able to protect us" :
- "We refuse a Bureaucratic EU, which mecanically applies burdensome rules and is afraid of change. We want a European Union which listens what Citizens have to say, which innovates, stimulates".
- "We want a strong and united EU in the World, while also respecting its Member States' Diversity", which "brings Courageous Replies to the Questions of our Times, ensuring our Prosperity :
This implies to "favor Research and Innovation", "Economic Coordination", to "develop real Policies on Immigrationn, Energy, Defence, and modernise common policies, particularly Agriculture".
* "EU must bring immediate replies to the Global Crisis".
- "Lawless liberalism failed". "The Model we want is that of a Responsible Market Economy, which favors Enterpreneurs and Workers, above Speculators ; Long-term Investment, over immediate profiits".
- "We appeal upon the EU to take, from June, the first decisions to ensure a real European Regulation of Financial Markets, based on coordination and cooperation". "On speculative funds, on fiscal heavens, CEO's and financial operators' earnings, EU must give the example".
- "We call to change the rules of accounts, which are important for our Economy's revival : The competent normative authorities must take action". "The issue of a sufficient Credit offer is of central importance for our Economy". "We don't accept that, during this Financial Crisis, the European Banks' capacity to lend money might be unjustly reduced by Capital's requirements and accountant's rules
* "During the German and French Presidencies, EU has resoçlutely prepared itself for the fight against Global Warming... EU is the 1st and only area in the World to have adopted a package of ambitious and legally binding rules to comply with International Aims"
- "We have now to convince our Friends and Partners, to get involved, in order to atteint, next December at Copenhagen, a Global Agreement worthy of whay is at stake. Our closer ally, the US, but also other big industrial countries, must commit themselves with the same force as the Europeans".
"Green Growth is a Chance ... and an opportunity to create jobs turned towards the Future. Europe must be a leader".
- But, at the same time, we must ensure that our companies remain competitive in the World. The ambitious European involvements on Climat must not lead into a position where EU industry might become a Victim of Unfair Competition. Climat protection and Competitvity must go together. If our International partners refuse to associate themselves to our efforts, we are determined to take measures to protect European Industry"
* "Europe must be more ambitious for its Industry" : "It must favor the emergence of strong European enterprises at a Global level".
- "As long as an International mechanism" to "monitor Public Aids at WTO level, and hinder 3rd Countries to give abusive subsidies to their enterprises, provoking unfair competition", is "not yet set up, we must consider Transitory European Solutions".
* "The current Public Debt is too heavy... We must head anew towards sound public finance, as soon as we'd have passed the crucial stage in this crisis".
-------------------------------------------------
* Last, but not least : "Europe must play a top-level role in the World"
- "For that purpose, it needs efficient Institutions. That's why we need Lisbon Treaty". "The 27 Member States decided, last December (2008) that the Treaty should enter into force before the end of this year (2009)". To obtain that, June EU Council must agree "on the Guarantees for Ireland".
- But, "to be able to act, EU needs Borders. An Enlargment without Limits is not possible", Sarkozy and Merkel stressed in an obvious reference to Turkey, etc.
- "In order to be strong, Europe must assume its Values and its Identity". "Human Rights .. are at the basis of our commitment for a Peaceful Development accross the World".
- "For that purpose, we shall strengthen our common Defence and Security policy".
----------------------
* "We are ready to contribute to activate the EU towards the realisation of these aims, with our EU Partners".
"In order to succeed", Europe "needs the active involvment of all, starting by Citizens themselves. That's why the June 7 rendez-vous is important", and "we are calling all Europeans to vote".
"We are convinced that, if Europe wants, Europe can", they conclude.
-----------------------
Precisely : - What can better forge "Europe's Will" than a "European Consciousness" emerging from political, democratic struggles to face Global Challenges, and open big New Horizons, including by crystal-clear Public Debates, with active EU Citizens' involvement, before the most important EU Decisions affecting People's lives ?
Precisely what "EuroFora"s project warns since 1997-2007, and unprecedented Majority Abstentions, since 1999-2004, added to 3 "NO" to EU Referenda in 2005 and 2007, proved meanwhile..
Let's hope that the Time wasted by some scandalous anti-European and anti-Democratic obstacles of the Past, will stimulate faster, simplified but substantial and persistent, efficient action.-
