TODAY’S MESOP QUOTATION EAST KURDISTAN

PKK military chief Cemil Bayik warned, “Iran wants to collaborate again with Turkey. Thus it executed Kurdish political prisoners.” Germany-based PJAK leader Haji Ahmedi told the Belgian webzine Uitpers that the PJAK wants to have a peace process in Iran, similar to the one in Turkey. “We do not want to wage a war, we want to fight a political struggle. It’s not our goal to completely eradicate the Iranian army, we fight for peace. We insist that we solve the Kurdish question in Iran through dialogue.”
