Syrian Kurdistan,— The Executive
Committee of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union
Party PYD has released a statement to clarify some
issues following the intensified media campaign
against the party, from political parties associated
with regional and international powers. Efforts to
distort facts and involvement in dirty tricks to
destabilize Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava) runs against
the interest of the people and is an offence against
the sacrifice of the people, says the party.
In the statement the PYD underlines the following
points:
- We are a political party active in Syrian (west)
Kurdistan and all our activities are open to public
scrutiny. We do not interfere with the practice of
national institutions. These are democratic
institutions that were established by our people,
based on decision made in the Supreme Kurdish
Council.
- We are a political party like any other party. We
are at the service of our people and the decisions
made by our democratically elected assemblies. We
are not an authoritarian party. We have no ambitions
to expand our powers other than through democratic
procedures. We welcome political opposition and all
our efforts are directed to consolidate the
operations of our democratic institutions.
- What is rumored about the subordination of
existing national institutions in western (Syrian)
Kurdistan to our party, are nothing more than
fabrications. The aim of these attacks is to vilify
our party and to discredit the de facto achievements
made by our efforts the last couple of years. These
attempts to discredit our party are in order to
create a pretext to attack us, instigate fraternal
fighting and to establish militias.
- We as a political party do not interfere in the
affairs of legitimate institutions belonging to the
democratic Self Rule like for example the Asayish,
the YPG or the judicial bodies. We call on these
institutions to adhere to internationalwww.Ekurd.net
standards, human rights and fundamental freedoms in
dealing with all political parties and civil society
organizations. We support transparency in all cases
of arrest, interrogation and investigation, whether
of individuals or organizations.
-We hope that the concerned political parties would
focus their attention to the operations of the
legitimate democratic institutions in western
Kurdistan in case of complaints, instead of
resorting to attacks on our party.
- We condemn the unfounded attempts to distort facts
and the truths about the Democratic Self Rule in
western Kurdistan, and emphasize our readiness to
cooperate with all parties and organizations who are
willing to approach us in a fraternal and
open-minded manner.
The statement ends with a further clarification by
the PYD: "Victory is within our reach, - it reads -
that all components of the society in western
Kurdistan will be able to establish and participate
in a democratic system of their own making. Their
efforts could provide a role model for the rest of
the region, establishing the first truly democratic
confederation in the Middle East".
