The Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) released a statement on the political situation and political resistance in the Middle East and Kurdistan.

The statement said that what happened in East Kurdistan affects other parts of Kurdistan and added that Iran also as a role in the events taking place in the Middle East. The statement said that this situation requires PJAK to determine a correct strategy.

PJAK said: “Society in East Kurdistan continues to resist despite the silence in other parts of Iran. There is a big difference with the other Iranian opposition in terms of claiming the right to hope for democracy. (...) The programs of the sovereign countries go according to the programs of the occupying states of Kurdistan, the most obvious example of which is the issue with NATO and its relations with Turkey. NATO is always busy building power and authority against the Kurdish people. Undoubtedly, the semi-democracies represented by the European countries are close to Erdogan's policy on the Kurds. But at the same time, they are in competition and conflict with Turkey. Some of the classical parties that supported the nationalists and the nation-state took their place in this conflict and competition, and this situation itself deals the biggest blow to the national unity project.”

The statement continued: “(...) The guerrilla areas have become the primary center of resistance and struggle of the Kurdish people, and now they are making history. The extent of the war brought the Kurdish parties in the four parts to the point of deciding on unification. Because the Apoist Movement has organized all four parts of Kurdistan as Kurdistan territory, and all the Kurdish opposition knows this.”
