Kurdish National Congress of North America is
extremely concerned about escalation of violence
between the Islamic regime of Iran and Party of Life
and Freedom (PJAK).
Recently Iran has expanded its destructive and
violent occupation policy of Kurdistan in the East
to West to include the territory of Kurdish Regional
Government in Iraq in the latest escalation of the
bloodshed. The excuse for this military action is to
stop the "Armed Resistance and guerilla activities"
of Party of Life and Freedom, PJAK. Iran calls PJAK
a terrorist group and PJAK along with many
organizations and states brand Iran a terrorist
state.
To our knowledge PJAK has not, threatened or carried
out any violent attacks against any Iranian
civilians, nor has it force outside of the Kurdish
territories. |
 |
Its armed resistance is only in Kurdish
territory to defend themselves from the brutality of
Iranian military. In contrast with PJAK, the Iranian
religious terror squads have been terrorizing,
arresting, and assassinating the Kurdish people in
their own ancestral homeland for more than three
decades. Both sides claim they have killed large
numbers of the enemy in the recent escalation of
violence.
Violence and disregard for human life and suffering
only results in a lose-lose situation for all in
this political game; the real losers are those with
the least amount of power,www.ekurd.netessentially
the civilian Kurdish population who is helpless in
defending itself against a state with large military
resources who has much at its disposal and a state
media which can and is distorting and spreading the
"Untruth".
We urge PJAK not to fall for the manipulative policy
of the Islamic Republic. The Kurdish guerrilla
forces should try to avoid violence at any cost and
consider the soldiers of their enemies as misguided
souls who need guidance to understand the Kurdish
cause.
We do not see the Islamic Republic a reliable party
in this conflict which would abide by any standard
or international human rights protocol let alone to
address or behave humanely. The regime has proven
over and over again that it does not want to resolve
the conflicts but always resorts to manipulation,
threat, and killing and all form of oppression.
Repeatedly it has carried out its violent behavior
and its demeanor has not changed in the past 3
decades but rather gotten worst not only against the
Kurds but also against its own people.
We urge the international communities and their
leaders to pressure Iran to stop its terrorist
policy, withdraw from Kurdistan, and let the people
determine their destiny.
