World A Reuters witness saw Iranian soldiers manning a small position some two kilometers (1.2 miles) inside Iraqi Kurdistan. Kurdish officials say a small unit of Iranian soldiers penetrated Kurdistan's Arbil province on June 3 following days of shelling that they say has displaced some 300 families from Kurdish border villages. Kurdish MPs accused the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad of turning a blind eye to the Iranian operation, against rebels seeking autonomy for Kurdish areas of Iran. Iraq and Iran fought a war in the 1980s, but since the overthrow of Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003 relations between the two majority Shi'ite Muslim countries have improved. The Kurdish regional assembly unanimously adopted a memorandum calling on the Iraqi government, the United Nations, the United States and other powers "to press Iran to stop its bombardment of Iraqi border villages and to end its occupation of a position inside Iraqi Kurdistan." MP Zakiya Saleh told Reuters: "We must criticize the Iraqi government for its apathy and indifference and for ignoring the Iranian aggression toward the Kurdish region." Iranian forces frequently clash with rebels from the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) which took up arms in 1984 for an ethnic homeland in southeast Turkey. Iran considers the PJAK a terrorist group. Like Iraq, Turkey and Syria, Iran has a large Kurdish minority, living mainly in the Islamic Republic's northwest and west. (Writing by Matt Robinson; editing by Andrew Roche) World Comments See All Comments (2) | Post Comment Jun 08, 2010 1:20pm EDT Force Turkey to release Ocalan, and send financial and military aid to the Kurdish regional assembly immediately. If not, the Kurdish people will be wiped out by both Turkey and Iran. The World is once again allowing genicide. AlitoRAF Report As Abusive Jun 08, 2010 2:23pm EDT In order for a minority to feel the need to defend themselves, they have to be offended first. “Freedom fighters” do not attack civilians or attack an established nastion’s military base. Last week PKK attacked a Turkish military base with rocket launchers, and killed 7 soldiers that were just patrolling the base. Which part of this action was for peace or for independence. Kurdish people live the way they want to live in Turkey. Istanbul (one of the biggest cities in the world)has the most number of Kurdish originated Turkish citizens anywhere and i don’t see any reason why someone would think the Kurdish originated people would ever be wiped out. Turkish military or people has never attacked Kurdish people. And Kurdish people never attacked anyone just because they were Turkish. PKK is a terrorist organization that is supported mainly by US(captured terrorist usually carry arms that says “US Army” on them), just as they created Taliban in the first place. It was created to gain control over a region, or cause instability if things did not go the way they wanted to. The problem is not the people. It’s the politics. Middle eastern people have more in common among each other than they have with any other people. That is all i’d like to say right now.
