Then, after the report of

Kurdistan in general and Eastern Kurdistan in

unanimously approved by the conference:
- The Kurdistan National Congress - East to be
established in order to unite the ranks of the
Kurdish people and propagating original Kurdish
nationalist ideas, and attempting to establish a
national unity and a real national front that may be
able to supervise our people’s liberation movement
in order to achieve an overall general referendum
under the supervision of the UN and democratic
countries of the world so that the Kurdish people in
the East could vote for their own self determination
in total freedom without any internal sides’
intervention and deformation.
-- The Kurdistan National Congress - East would act
as a branch of KNC that has current headquarters in
London - UK.
-- The comrades in KNC - East in participation with
the leadership of KNC should elect the leadership
committee - East to carry out the national duties in
the East and execute the decisions approved by the
Fifth Conference.
-- The mentioned committee can establish relations
with all sides and personalities friendly with the
Kurds and the democratic countries…
-- The leadership committee should work towards
preparing the ground for “the establishment of the
Eastern Kurdistan Government in Exile” until the
achievement of the liberation of Kurdistan and the
Kurdish people under the supervision of the UN and
the democratic countries of the world will be able
to vote in a free democratic referendum for their
right of political self determination.
-- The leadership committee - East should in near
future evaluate the suggested constitution and
program and after its discussion send it to the KNC
comrades and all Kurdish and Kurdistan political,
social and religious sides to know their opinions
regarding the constitution that after its approval
should be put into action and execution.
The approved documents and
decisions of the Fifth Conference of Kurdistan
National Congress:
-- The conference declared its unanimous support to
the establishment of the Western
Kurdistan Government in Exile.
-- The conference condemned the barbaric attack of
the Iranian occupying regime on the oppressed people
of Mahabad and other towns of Eastern Kurdistan that
led to the martyrdom of Saeed Kader famous as
“Shwana” and dozens others, and in a letter appeals
to the international institutions to prevent the
mass murder of the Kurdish people by the barbaric
regime of Iran.
-- The conference condemns the regimes that occupy
Kurdistan, Iran, Turkey and Syria for their
continuous racist policies against the Kurds as well
as condemning the new Iraqi regime that continues
dealing with Kurdish demands and aspirations in the
same old Arab chauvinistic way!
-- the conference asks the UN and the international
community to have a free referendum for the Kurdish
people of 40 million, which never happened yet.
-- In a letter, the conference asks the PUK and PDK
to leave aside unfounded and empty alliances with
the Shiite and Sunnite Arabs in Iraq and together
respect the demands and aspirations of the Kurdish
nation and prepare the ground for a referendum in
Southern Kurdistan under the supervision of the UN
and democratic countries of the world.
-- The conference thanks all the personalities,
institutions and organisations that actively
participated in running the conference and also
thanks all those Kurdish and foreign personalities
and sides that sent congratulatory letters and
messages.
-- The conference relates its special thanks to Mr
Charlie Treloggan, the Mayor of Hammersmith - London
who on top of his participation delivered a valuable
and important speech saying: “Your homeland has been
stolen from you and should be returned to you!”
-- The conference condemned terror, terrorism and
dictatorship and declared its support for the
democratic systems and just rights of the peoples of
the world.
-- The conference approved the announcement of the
United States of Kurdistan in Exile and decided to
