Kurdish safety forces had led today an operation in Hewlêr against the party PÇDK, wich is generally considered as the PKK branch in Southern-Kurdistan (and the design of its site and flags and pictures allow us to make ourselves an opinion about that).
During the raid, 7 members of this party have been arrested. In Zakho, another PÇDK is also under arrest. For the moment the reason of this coup is unknown.
The PKK faces regularly accusation of murders against its political opponents in Kurdistan and the PÇDK is suspected to help it, especially in Sipan Rojhelat, Kemale Sor and Kani Yilmaz’s death.
Moreover the problem is more and more crucial concerning the presence of the PKK in Southern Kurdistan, for their attacks from “Iraqi” border and moutains incite step by step USA, Turkey and Kurdish Region to find a solution or at least an agreement, as explained Nêçirvan Barzani in a recent interview given to the New Anatolian :
“Cevik: The terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has become a problem for everyone, including the Iraqi Kurds. How can this problem be solved to the satisfaction of all sides?
Nechirvan Barzani: In the modern world, safe and stable borders are an absolute requirement for security and economic development. Borders must be respected by both sides and it’s not in the Kurdistan region’s interest to have a violent threat operating within it. But the problem isn’t only a military issue; it requires dialogue and concessions on all sides. Recently, the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations (CRC) in the U.S. called for a three-way dialogue with the U.S., Turkey, and Iraqi Kurdish leaders on the question of border security. We believe this is an excellent idea and we’re ready to participate if the other sides agree to begin.”
So does it showthat a new “harder” line will replace the former relative “tolerance” of the Kurdish Governement for the PKK and his satellites, or is it only a simple quarrel between the KDP and an opponent party ? let’s wait the legal accusations against the PÇDK to learn more. But the current visit of Hoshyar Zebarî, the Foreign ministry,and his press release stating that “the new Iraqi government is ready to revive three-way talks with neighboring Turkey and the United States to discuss measures to curb Turkish Kurd rebels based in northern Iraq. We discussed the need to re-activate the trilateral discussions … on containing the PKK terrorist activities on the border region,” Zebari told reporters after talks with Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul. (…)”These will be activated in the near future … to be followed by some other measures, hopefully, in order to reinforce our joint cooperation in this area.”
According to Turkish sources, Turkey would have asked the extradition of several leaders of the PKK from Iraq.ÂÂ
What about this?

You are repeating the smearing of Turkish war propaganda !
beside that it is not wise kurdish authorities to arrest members of political formatioms such as Parti Chareseri Demokrati Kurdistan
which is a legal party.
This kind of action by the members of Kurdish security forces
in Southern Kurdistan harms Kurdish new effort towards
democracy and the universal right of free association.
Hejar.
For turkey anyone talk about basic Kurdish right is terrorist, even is part their constitution, as I have reputably said in past whole Turkey and their country foundation has been build based of denial of Kurdish nation, weather PKK lay down arms or not, wouldn’t change anything in Turkish policy, unless massive pressures from outside turkey from USA or European as well as strong and well united Serhildan(Kurdish uprising) in heart of Kurdistan.
For all Kurdish parties no matter were they are , They need to be extremely smart in this critical moment of our history , they need very strategically phase, to deal with extreme pressure toward southern part of Kurdistan, as you remember, the big battle has yet to begin, we know end 2007 situation of Kerkuk and other occupied part have to be normalized, while Arabs never follows any rule nor constitution, they will use forced against Kurd, following by Turks from north and Iranian from east.
While is so obvious for Turkey ,that all this propaganda and excuse is to destroy southern achievement and stop Kerkuk be part Kurdistan(already all mass killing take place in Kerkuk by Turkish agents, as well as most terrorists has been founded by turkey to operated that area).
Now while we know all this, as well as worth mentioning that today USA under extreme pressure in IRAQ, whole terrorist been found by those undemocratic countries, such as Syria, turkey, Iraq Saudi Arabia ,Jordan, as well as political support from European, to destroy the democratization of middle east. We know Kurds can be alone in this battle. Therefore in my perspective all Gerilla(Peşmerge) in southern Kurdistan, shall enter northern Kurdistan as they did in the past, while Kurdistan is home to all Kurds, and we have all right to have political organization in southern Kurdistan like any parties that mention by law ,therefore PÇDK shall be allowed like other parties, because its is a political party no matter what ideology it carry, it dose not have millinery wing.
