Statement from the Presidency of the Kurdistan Region: The continuing
crisis between the Government of Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers Party
(PKK)
The policy of the Presidency, the Government, and the political parties
of the Kurdistan Region related to this issue can be summarized as
follows:
- We do not believe in the use of violence as a doctrine and method to
achieve political objectives.
- We do not accept in any way, based on our commitment to the Iraqi
constitution, the use of Iraqi territories, including the territories
of the Kurdistan Region, as a base to threaten the security of
neighboring countries.
- We call upon the PKK to eliminate violence and armed struggle as a
mode of operation. The current problems should be solved through
political and diplomatic methods. It is necessary to stop using other
methods, which are useless, and we demand that the PKK remain committed
to the cease fire and not resort to armed operations.
- We condemn all terrorist activities from any party because the
people of Kurdistan itself are victims of terrorism. We have always
struggled for the sake of peace, democracy, development and stability
for our people and peoples of the region. We are in fact in a bitter
and continued state of struggle against terrorism.
We declare that these principles are the firm policies of the people of
Kurdistan, we reiterate that we endeavor to build friendly relations
with the people of the region and we share a commitment to good
neighborly relations with all.
We have always called for peace and security and we believe that the
outstanding problems can be solved only through dialogue and
understanding.
