BRUSSELS, Belgium, — Kurdish National Congress (KNK), Counsel of Kurdish Communities in Sweden along with 26 other Kurdish organisations reinstated in a joint announcement their backing for the Kurdish freedom struggle.
Twenty eight Kurdish institutions, among them KNK and the Counsel of Kurdish Communities in Sweden, urged the international institutions and the stateless peoples to break their silence and support the Kurdish freedom struggle.
In their join statement reference is made to a number of peoples who had no option but to embark on the course of armed struggle to secure their ends.
When the rights of Palestinian people were violated, the statement outlined, liberation organisation of Palestine was established; in Morocco Polisaro and in South Africa ANC were established with the same aim. After a while they embarked on the armed struggle.
When a movement is labelled as “terrorist”, the statement continues, the Sweden Social Democrats rose up the voices and bravely took position against such illegitimate allegations and made manifest their backings for such struggles.
The joint statement of these 28 organisations is published amid campaigns orchestrated against the Kurdish political figures aimed at denigrate them.
“Evaluations have been made in regard to the Kurdish political figures according to the mindset of Iranian and Turkish authorities,” the statement outlined and continued, “2428 Kurdish students, 90 journalists, 39 elected representatives of the people are imprisoned in Turkey. Kurdish political activists are executed by the Iranian authorities.”
At the end of the statement references are made to the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people and the following call is made:
“The right of self-defence is a legitimate right and each nation has the right to defend itself. This is why we cannot behave in accordance to what the CIA and the United States maintain. When they want, the selectively designate a certain organisation as terrorist while promote diplomacy with other suspicious organisations. Owing to this we call upon the democratic parties and institutions of the stateless peoples to work together.”
