QANDIL MOUNTAINS,
— On the 22nd anniversary of the genocide in Halabja,
the executive council of the Kurdistan Workers'
Party (PKK), the KCK, released a statement that the
Kurdish issue in Iraq is still not resolved yet.
"The mentality of the colonial state-nation, which
performed the genocide in Halabja, still insists to
survive to this very day."
According to the PKK, those, who want to maintain
the hegemony of the states on Kurdistan on the basis
of denial and ignorance, address the Kurds as a raw
material to establish the Turkish, Persian and Arab
nations. "Because of this mentality, the Kurds are
coming face to face to the systematic policies of
intense assimilation,www.ekurd.netoppression,
intimidation, and force evacuation policies almost
in all areas. Where the resistance of the Kurdish
people cannot be broken and the policy of melting
does not get any results, the colonial mentality’s
destruction policies are still on the agenda today." |

The PKK mentioned that still the disputed regions
between the Erbil and Baghdad haven't returned yet
to Kurdistan. "Almost , 40% percent of the territory
of South Kurdistan [Iraqi Kurdistan] has not been
yet included as a territory of Kurdistan. So, the
problem is far from being fully resolved." The PKK
thinks that because of the US withdrawal from Iraq,
not 'only Arabs, but also Turkish colonialist want
to apply the same orientation and policies on South
Kurdistan.
The PKK also suggest that Turkey is again 'preparing
an extensive military operation alone with the
recent political practises of genocide'. It also
added that Europe, "who gave chemical weapons to be
used in Halabja for its economic and political
benefits, is now, once again, arresting the Kurdish
politicians and developing pressure on the Kurds’
biggest TV channel, ROJ TV, in order to give support
to the Turkish state’ colonialist and genocidel
policies for its own regional benefits."
Since 1984 PKK took up arms for self-rule in the
mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey
(Turkey-Kurdistan) which has claimed around 45,000
lives of Turkish soldiers and Kurdish PKK
guerrillas. A large Turkey's Kurdish community
openly sympathise with the Kurdish PKK rebels.
The PKK demanded Turkey's recognition of the Kurds'
identity in its constitution and of their language
as a native language along with Turkish in the
country's Kurdish areas,www.ekurd.net
the party also demanded
an end to ethnic discrimination in Turkish laws and
constitution against Kurds, ranting them full
political freedoms.
Turkey refuses to recognize its Kurdish population
as a distinct minority. It has allowed some cultural
rights such as limited broadcasts in the Kurdish
language and private Kurdish language courses with
the prodding of the European Union, but Kurdish
politicians say the measures fall short of their
expectations.
