The Defence Regions of Medya- Qendil Mountains: The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) held its first conference in 12th April 2010 attended by a considerable number of it cadres.
In a statement PJAK congratulated the conference to the Kurdish national imprisoned leader, to the Kurdish nation as well as the entire Iranian nations.
The conference took a deep analysis of the political and the organisational concepts and formulated the underlying structure for the upcoming stages.
PJAK’s conference stressed the need for development of democracy among the Iranian’s nations within the framework of a border-free democratic con-federalism.
PJAK evaluated all the weakness of its cadres and put forward methods of enhancing the level of works and activities of its members. The problems of individualities and the mentalities of the Eastern Kurdistan and Iran were evaluated and remedying strategies were put forward.
The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) was founded in 2004 as the result of the systematic and continuous oppression of the Kurdish nation by the Iranian government. PJAK upholds the libertarian ideology of Apoism which advocates an ecological-democratic society with gender equality. PJAK’s main goal is to set up a democratic system in Iran and to create a democratic con-federation for the long- oppressed Kurds.
Its initial objective is to limit and change the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran and to democratise it in four fundamental areas; the nation, the society, the citizenship and to evolve the state into a self-governing institution, which is able to deliver public services, to maintain public security; it would be thus synonymous to public authority.
For the past 6 years PJAK has been the most influential organisation of the Kurdish population in the Eastern Kurdistan and has the strongest popular support in this part of the Kurdistan. Three particular dynamics forces namely the women, students and the youths have been increasingly joining PJAK with the aims of transforming their society. Women constitute more than 48% PJAK’s membership from the basic to the leadership of the organisation.
