ARMENIAN KURDS NOT TO ENGAGE IN "DIRTY WAR AGAINST IRAQ"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Kurds are not going to engage in "the dirty war against Iraq and become a tool in the hands of imperialists." As reported by "Rosbalt" agency, representative of the Congress on Kurdistan Liberation and Democracy (former Kurdish Working Party) in Armenia Yelmaz Shiar said, when commenting on the exaggeration of "the Kurdish factor" in the Iraqi war. In his words, Kurds, who sided with Americans, are thoughtlessly being involved in small factions. The Kurdish Congress, headed by Abdullah Ojalan, is going to seek after a federative structure of the country, but only via democratic methods, refusing from the military, Y. Shiar emphasized. "However, if a power encroaches upon the liberty of Kurds, it will get a worthy rebuff," - he noted. The Kurdish Congress representative called the sending of Turkish troops to North Iraq an unprecedented case, moreover that "upon the insistence of a number of Kurdish leaders, specifically, Masud Barzani and Jalal Talabani, Turkish authorities have kept seizure of two small regions in Iraq for already 3 years."
