MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : AN INNER-KURDISH WAR ?  PKK & KDP

SOUTH KURDISTAN / IRAQ

STATEMENT BY KCK COUNCIL (PKK) – Turkish State and KDP are Biggest Threat to KRG Security

The Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq has embarked on a widespread

smear campaign against our Freedom Movement. They don`t fall short of distorting the facts in order to mislead the public opinion accusing our movement of being involved in the killing of KRG officials.

Preparing false reports is an attempt to create a justification for

future conspiracies against our movement.

The reports that some members of our movement have been engaged in perpetrating attacks against foreign officials and companies working in South Kurdistan are totally baseless. These false reports are being prepared with the help of the Turkish intelligence service, MIT, and aim at justifying and legitimizing future attacks against our movement.

The people of South Kurdistan know very well which forces protected

them in the face of the IS attacks in 2014 – and which forces left

them unprotected. As the Kurdistan Freedom Movement we consider the

protection and safety of Kurdistan`s people our national and moral

duty. For this cause hundreds of our

comrades have sacrificed their lifes on the front line between Sinjar

and Erbil, including our commanders Zekî Şengalî, Egîd Civyan and

Têkoşer Gewer.

Our movement has always considered the safety and stability of South

Kurdistan one of its most important duties. Never have we put our

country or people in danger. Hundreds of comrades from our ranks have

fallen fighting for this cause. They are the best proof for our

commitment. It is widely accepted that the Turkish state and the KDP

are the biggest threat to the security of the KRG. Because of their

joint activities, Kurdistan`s mountains hardly witness a day without

the sound of bomb explosions and rocket attacks. Just like Erdogan,

the KDP tries to intimidate the opposition by kidnapping, threatening

and putting pressure on journalists, teachers and political activists

– thus seriously damaging the safety of South Kurdistan`s citizens.

We call on the Kurdish people and all related political circles to be

aware towards this smear campaign and psycho war of KDP and the

Turkish MIT and thereby foil these plots through their constructive

and patriotic attitude.
