Frankly, I am sorry to bother scientists with this issue. My article published in the journal Dr. Johannes mentioned (ACTA BIOLOGICA TURCICA) is “Allium feqiyeteyranii a new species of Allium sect. "Codonoprasum (Amaryllidaceae) from Van (Turkey)" is an article that completed the review process and was accepted as a result of the reviewer of two review. After the corrections and requests of the review were made, the article was deemed suitable for publication (Dr. Johannes slandered the journal (ACTA BIOLOGICA TURCICA), by saying that I am not sure if it went through the review process. First of all, he should look at the review of his own journal, he publishes a lot of new species of synonyms from Turkey, which is Dr. Johannes's opinion on that subject It means that he could not choose a knowledgeable review. He says that I called him a idiot in the article, I did not say Dr. Johannese you are a stupid, I said that it was idiot to say that this name (Feqiye Teyran) is political. (Because Feqiye Teyran is only a poet who writes nature-loving love poems, she is not a political person. Moreover, he is a person who lived in the 1600s).

In the last paragraph of the INTRODUCTION section of my article published in ACTA BIOLOGICA TURCICA journal, this name is mentioned as editor of Annales Botanici Fennici journal. I don't understand why Dr. Johannes Enroth asked me to change it because it was considered political?

Dr. Mehmet Fırat

I am not exactly proud of this "discussion" either; in fact I feel a little silly having to do this. However since dr Firat (not me!) chose to make this issue public right here in ResearchGate I felt and still feel I have to defend myself against false accusations.

1) Interestingly, the reviewed version dr Firat gave in his reply lacked the passage in which my name was mentioned in the final publication. So it must have been added there AFTER REVIEW. I call that cheating, and the editors of ActaBiolTurc let it go through, so I have no reason to change my mind about the ethical standards of that journal. The passage goes (verbatim): "This article was previously published in Annales

Botanici Fennici Journal on september 23, 2023, titled

“Allium feqiyeteyranii a new species of Allium sect. It was

submitted under the name Codonoprasum

(Amaryllidaceae) from Van (Turkey)", went through the

reviewer process and was sent to the Journal editor Dr.

Johannes Enroth stated that the article would be published

after some corrections. However, he stated that the name

of the plant was political and that he would publish it under a different name on November 18, 2023. I stated that this name (Feqiyê Teyran as “Allium feqiyeteyranii”) is not political, that he was just a nature and love poet who lived in the 1600s, and I told him that just because he was Kurdish did not mean that he was political. And I still don't understand this point of view of Dr Johannes Enroth?"

2) Dr Firat said he did not call me stupid. In fact, that is right, mea culpa, he called me by another name, quote (verbatim): "Also, you are an idiot."

3) Dr Firat insists I did not accept the name he proposed for the species because I thought it had political implications. As explained in my previous comments, that was not the case. Still, in his mind I am, quote (verbatim): "I will also think that you are a racist, anti-Kurdish and acting with a Middle Eastern mind, and I will write about this to all botanical journal editors and botanists."

Well, he lived up to his word and here we are...

Yes, I definitely think Dr. Johannes is a racist and anti-Kurd. And I will never forgive him for this attitude on behalf of humanity. The names of the species that have disappeared from Turkey in the last year; Some of them named after their mother, father, wife, some of their father, or their children, and all of them are accepted. They find it political to give me the name Feqiye Teyran, who is in love with the nature, and for this reason, she discriminates against the Kurds and that she lives in the Middle East (Finland beautiful country). (I pointed out that he did not look like the Finns). Also, I didn't mind because my article was not published. What bothers me is that he says no to the name of a Kurdish poet. Johannes, you are both guilty and ridiculous.

You ruined that Journal. I think you should quit being an editor, I'm sure there are very good botanists in that country. Let one of them take over the Journal. You do not pass the articles through the review process properly, you send the article to the review recommended by the author for review (This means, if the author and the review are friends or have an interest, you publish new species of synonyms, then I prepare the article to make synonyms for them one by one. You are also disturbed by this situation and tell me you're obsessed

Dear Botanists of world

Editor of Annales Botanici Fennici Journal, Dr. Johannes Enroth is an unethical person who is far from scientific morality. He does not deserve to be the editor of this journal, and he publishes every article that comes to his journal without properly selecting a review (He has published new species, especially from Turkey, which will become synonymous lately. I shortly synonymized two species published from Turkey in the last six months).

On 16 November 2023, I sent an article titled “Allium feqiyeteyranii a new species of Allium sect. Codonoprasum (Amaryllidaceae) from Van (Turkey)”. He gave the review corrections to my article (He chose the review from such ridiculous and ignorant people that one of the review claimed that the new species in the east of Turkey was an irrelevant species in Europe. He also asked for some corrections from Dr. Johannes Enroth as editor, and that is why the name of the new species was a political name. He asked me to change his name. I said, "The person named "Feqiye Teyran" is an important poet of the Kurds who lived 500 years ago. All of his poems are about nature, affection and love, and are not political." He did not accept, and rejected my article (This situation is on my personal page. He did it, he also did not accept it because of his hostility towards Kurds and racism against us Kurds, he rejected my article, so I published my new species in another journal. If it is not new, please have one of my dear botanist friends make a synonym).

As a result of all our e-mails, Dr. Johannes Enroth claimed that we decided not to give human names to plants in our Journal anymore (However, a few days before rejecting my article, a botanist from Turkey named a plant after his father!!). Two days ago, a new species from Turkey was reported in the Annales Botanici Fennici magazine, “Fritillaria nevzatcaglari (Liliaceae), a new species from southern Anatolia, Turkey. —Ann. Boots. Fennici 61: 41–46”. Epynomy: nevzatcaglari (Nevzat Çağlar), Now I ask, You accept this name, why do you not accept the name Feqiyê Teyran?

From here, I call out to all Kurds and botanists in the name of human dignity; Dr. Johannes Enroth discriminates and treats the Kurds in a racist manner. Dr. Johannes; You are a racist, a fascist, and an enemy of Kurds. I curse you in the name of human dignity. We Kurds will not forgive you.

Dear botanist colleagues in World, if you have considered publishing something in Annales Botanici Fennici (https://www.sekj.org/AnnBot.html) (Especially Kurds), At least, While Dr. Johannes Enroth was Editor.

If you need a publication; It doesn't matter whether it is new or not, we can turn any plant into an article as new and this Dr. Johannes when you send it to Journal, it publishes it immediately (except for Kurds). I personally know that the plants in the article he recently published as a new species from Turkey are not new (I am beyond reproach for those who publish distinctly new species. Sözüm film-fırıldak yeni tür yayınlara, varyasyonları tür zannedenlereJ)).

My point is that you are a liar and incompetent editor. Because, as you said, we decided as a journal that we will not accept giving people's names to plants. But you didn't just accept the name of a Kurdish person. This will not hide your racist mentality and hostility towards Kurds. Also, if the plant Allium feqiyeteyrani is a synonym for any plant, then I would be an incompetent botanist like you. Yes, a person may say that it is synonymous with hostility and lies, but this does not mean that it is synonymous with the plant.
