Siwan Meriwan,
Along with amassing of its military forces on the borders of South and East Kurdistan by the Islamic Republic of Iran, the pro-state media outlets have reported striking news, for example a website called “anti-corruption” reproduced an article, published by Mehr News Agency last year, without changing a word.
On 16 July 2011 the Iranian Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had unexpectedly attacked Qendil Mountains, which followed by heavy clashes between the IRGC and the guerrillas of PJAK (Kurdistan’s Free Life Party).
At the beginning of the war, all the media operating inside the country including a large section of the media belonging to the so-called opposition groups operating outside of the country joined a similar concept and embarked on a large scale of psychological warfare against Kurdistan’s Free Life Party (PJAK).
The Iranian media’s psychological fabrication based warfare went in parallel with the IRGC offensives against PJAK. It went to the extent that they had set the date for the liquidation of PJAK but the offensives launched by the IRGC were encountered with heroic resistance of PJAK guerrillas. The crushing of IRGC forced the Iranian generals to call for a ceasefire.
What is drawing attention is the fact that in the first anniversary of the assault on Qendil Mountains and the resistance of the Kurdish guerrillas in encountering of the IRGC, the Iranian regime is yet again amassing forces on the borders raising the possibility of another war.
The so-called “anti-corruption” website reproduced the article published by Mehr News Agency on 18 April 2011. The article mentioned a meeting in which one of the IRGC generals named as “Masjedi”, who accordingly assessed the war against PJAK saying they will crush PJAK in next two months.
Although one year has passed since the publication of that article, contrary to the evaluation of so-called IRGC’s general, PJAK continues on its struggle. But what draws attention is the fact that why in such a moment in which the IRGC has amassed large forces on the borders, such an article is reproduced?
It should be mentioned that while Iran and PJAK are in the period of ceasefire, on the pretext of setting the border line, Iran has been positioning military forces threatening the sovereignty of South Kurdistan and raising the possibility of another war. But as Xebat Hewleri, a leading member of Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), said, “Such a war would neither be in the interest of Iran nor in the interest of Kurdish people.”
At the same time and in an interview with Firat News Agency, Rewar Abdanan, a coordination member of PJAK said, “In case of any assault, PJAK guerrillas would respond to such offensives within the framework of self-defense, and by recreating the Epic of Qendil we will let anyone know that a new will-power has emerged in Kurdistan that no one is able to crush and it will respond to the assault on the Kurds and will defend the national values in Kurdistan.”
