Statement from the
Presidency of the Kurdistan Region: The continuing
crisis between the Government of Turkey and the
Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK)
The policy of the Presidency, the Government, and
the political parties of the Kurdistan Region
related to this issue can be summarized as follows:
1. We do not believe in the use of violence
as a doctrine and method to achieve political
objectives.

 |
2. We do not
accept in any way, based on our commitment to the
Iraqi constitution, the use of Iraqi territories,
including the territories of the Kurdistan Region,
as a base to threaten the security of neighboring
countries.
3. We call upon the PKK to eliminate violence
and armed struggle as a mode of operation. The
current problems should be solved through political
and diplomatic methods. It is necessary to stop
using other methods, which are useless, and we
demand that the PKK remain committed to the cease
fire and not resort to armed operations.
4. We condemn all terrorist activities from
any party because the people of Kurdistan itself are
victims of terrorism. We have always struggled for
the sake of peace, democracy, development and
stability for our people and peoples of the region.
We are in fact in a bitter and continued state of
struggle against terrorism.
We declare that these principles are the firm
policies of the people of Kurdistan, we reiterate
that we endeavor to build friendly relations with
the people of the region and we share a commitment
to good neighborly relations with all.
We have always called for peace and security and we
believe that the outstanding problems can be solved
only through dialogue and understanding.
