(19) The Committee has noted the information provided by the State party with regard to the stateless Kurds.

I would like to convey the greetings of the people of Iraqi Kurdistan, which is part of Iraq, to the Assembly.

9. The member of Parliament and deputy for Diyarbakir, Ms. Leyla Zana, has been sentenced to a prison term of 15 years, upon the lifting of her parliamentary immunity, allegedly for having had contacts with members of the Kurdish Workers apos Party (PKK) and having propagated, in the Kurdish language in Parliament, a just solution for the Kurdish problem.

Among his sentences was one for having requested, in Parliament, to solve the Kurdish problem in a just and impartial way .

Lastly, it should explain why the Turkish Constitution did not recognize the Kurds as a special minority, a fact that frequently posed difficulties for the Kurdish people, in particular women.

Confronted with the debacle in the rest of (Arab) Iraq, the question has to be asked why the US led coalition should not hold a referendum in the Kurdish region, asking the population how they would like to be ruled. After all, the Kurds have, by any internationally accepted standards, a right to self determination.

Erdoğan s Kurdish Gambit

Kurdistan

41. The Kurdish question divides the political landscape of Turkey into a number of heavily ideologically entrenched positions.

Another problem with integration which is both difficult and complicated relates to quarrels among Turks over the Kurdish question, which often gives rise to violence within Germany.

If his position on the Islamic State continues to waver, he will only alienate the Kurds further, which means that when the jihadists decide to encroach on Turkish territory, Turkey will have to confront them without a Kurdish alliance. But if he decides to support the Kurds in their fight against the Islamic State, he will undoubtedly enhance their national aspirations.

In addition, he met regularly with an informal commission of Kurds from Kurdistan which was created to work with the United Iraqi Alliance Committee of Seven to work through contentious issues.

Terrorism and human rights were discussed in the context of the struggle of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Tamil people in Sri Lanka.

Sounds like Kurdish. I don't understand it.

This highlights another issue on which Turkey and the Islamic State converge the Kurds. Erdoğan seems to hope that, by degrading Kurdish military strength and territorial control, the Islamic State will help him to achieve his central goal of diminishing the Kurdish nationalist movement, which has long been a thorn in Turkey s side.

Syria s Kurdish Hope

A Referendum For Kurdistan?

San Miguel de Tucumán

On 12 June the inaugural session of the Kurdistan National Assembly elected Massoud Barzani to a four year term as President of the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Turkey accuses Iraqi Kurds of harboring between 3,000 and 3,500 of Turkey s most active Kurdish militants the PKK separatist guerillas who are blamed for the deaths of 80 Turkish soldiers so far this year. The trouble reached the boiling point on October 7, when Kurdish fighters killed 13 Turkish soldiers near Turkey s border with Iraq.

The same profile has also appeared in the Kurdish media.

And what is the matter with Budleigh Salterton?

The south and Kurdistan have been the regions least affected.

While some people living in the south east both Kurds and Turks did have literacy problems, the Government had taken steps to promote the spoken language, including programmes to teach Kurdish and possibly other languages in the future.

Based on an agreement between UNDP and the Kurdistan Regional Government, the latter arranged for the printing of 600,000 copies in Kurdish by 12 October, in addition to the 304,520 copies printed in Baghdad.

The fighting between the KDP and the PUK resulted in the flight of an estimated 65,000 PUK supporters from northern Iraq to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It's okay, though. I've got a hideout. A warehouse in Folsom.

A flow of information that either ignores or oversimplifies politically sensitive issues, including the Kurdish question or the question of the structure of the State, actively encourages civil society to lose its confidence in the ability of the society as a whole to solve Turkey apos s problems through debate.

Erdoğan s plan, however, depends on ending Turkey s 30 year conflict with its own Kurdish population. As a result, the Erdoğan government has decided on negotiations with Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed leader of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK), the armed Kurdish resistance movement.

269. In addition, the Special Rapporteur received several reports regarding the killings of Kurds and Assyrians by Kurds in northern Iraq.

Turkey has no desire to serve as a strategic counterweight to Iran and believes that only a territorially intact Iraq can continue to play that role. Furthermore, Turkey is concerned about the possibility of civil war in Kurdistan between the two largest Kurdish factions.

Mr. Hamid also printed 1,000 copies of a calendar showing a map of what purports to be Kurdistan, with the intention of distributing it among Kurdish students at Damascus University.

This is not only a question of territory, borders, and oil, but also one that concerns the domestic balance of power. With a Kurdish exit removing the third constituent element besides Shia and Sunni Arabs of Iraqi politics, the country s sectarian polarization would most likely deepen.

Hundreds of anti Erdogan protesters many of them Kurdish also made their voices heard, condemning both Erdogan's policies and the German government's decision to welcome him to the country.

At its 1st meeting, the Commission elected the following officers by acclamation

The State party should take urgent steps to remedy the situation of statelessness of Kurds in Syria and to protect and promote the rights of non citizen Kurds.

(spoke in Kurdish English text provided by the delegation)

197. The situation of refugee and Syrian born Kurdish children is a matter of concern to the Committee in the light of article 7 of the Convention.

624. The situation of refugee and Syrian born Kurdish children is a matter of concern to the Committee in the light of article 7 of the Convention.

Kurds held fast to their own ethnic identity. Eventually, the suppression of the Kurdish language and culture fueled a brutal insurgency, led by the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) which has cost the country more than 30,000 lives.

Christians who have fled rebel controlled areas live peacefully and with equal rights in Kurdish areas. Indeed, these areas have become safe havens for all religious and ethnic groups escaping the war.

The worst problems were found in the Tukums, Ventspils, Gulbene and Jekabpils Districts.

The judgment was said to be based on the reasoning that, since the group which was quot struggling for the independence of the Kurdish people quot was the Kurdish Workers apos Party (PKK), consequently, Aycin apos s statement demonstrated support for the PKK.
