MESOP TODAYS QUOTATION BY SHARIF BEHRUZ (KDP / PKK’S TEHRAN CONNECTIONS

31 May 2015 – Sharif Behruz, the former US Representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) and the current Iran Roundtable President, told JerusalemOnline in an exclusive interview: “Following the crisis in the region, PKK is still in the caps of the Shiite crescent, as the top person of the PKK Camil Bayak is an Alawi Shia himself.   Unfortunately, in Syria, the PKK’s relationship was against the Kurdish national movement in Syria and it is the same with Iran as well. The mere fact that the PKK has been able to use the territories between Iran and Iraq as their bases for many years to conduct their fight against the Turkish state has been due to the blessing and support of the Iranians. Both sides have their reasons for such cooperation, but certainly it is not in the best interests of the Kurds in Iran.” www.mesop.de
