PJAK Riles Other Kurdish-Iranian Parties by Calling them ‘La

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK) has sparked a war of words with other Kurdish-Iranian parties by calling their leaders “lazy”, and comparing them to “mares and horses.”

Asked in a television interview about the many Kurdish parties that have renounced armed struggle against the Iranian government for greater Kurdish rights, PJAK leader Haji Ahmadi likened their leaders to idle “mares and horses.”

“The members of the Iranian Kurdish parties have created a village for themselves in Iraqi Kurdistan, and in that lazy-house they sit without any activity,” Haji Ahmadi said on Newroz TV.

While most Kurdish groups have renounced armed struggle against Iran’s Islamic Republic and seek a political settlement for their rights, PJAK has continued to pursue militant activities. Its rebels have engaged in heavy clashes with Iranian border patrols in the past few years.

Haji Ahmadi’s statement has angered other Kurdish parties, mainly the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI).

In the Newroz interview, Haji Ahmadi mocked other Iranian Kurdish groups who call themselves Rasan, the Kurdish word for genuine. “The word Rasan is used for mares and horses,” Haji Ahmadi said.

KDPI leaders described the interview as “insulting”, and accused the group of waging a proxy war against them on behalf of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is regarded as PJAK’s mother party.

“This kind of PKK-PJAK propaganda attack is nothing new,” said Raza Kaabi, deputy head of the Komala Party. “They have done it in the past as well. This manner of speaking is their culture,” he retorted.

Kaabi said that the PKK is PJAK’s puppeteer. He added that one of the aims of a planned National Conference in Erbil, gathering all Kurdish groups, is to tell all parties “not to interfere in the affairs of other parts of Kurdistan and not to establish proxy groups.”

The militant PKK has many arms -- PJAK in Iran, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syria and the Democratic Solution Party of Kurdistan (PCDK) in the autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The aim of the conference is to persuade all Kurdish parties to work for a common Kurdish cause, instead of each party pursuing its own interests.

Mustafa Mawludi, deputy secretary general of the KDPI, said he hopes that the Erbil meeting would address this issue. “Any group that interferers in the affairs of other parts of Kurdistan for its own political goals, is only causing trouble,” he told Rudaw.

The underlying cause of this recent rift between PJAK and the KDPI is over a clash earlier this month, in which seven people were killed near the border village of Maraghan.

PJAK had claimed it had killed seven Iranian soldiers in a clash, but the KDPI provided another version of events. It said that seven drug smugglers were killed in a fight with another gang.

Did not the PJAK declared a case fire with Iran because of the secret agreement between both sides. And did not the PKK declared a case fire with Turkey? How can the PKK now call other parties Lazy? And the PJAK and PKK also withdrew to south Kurdistan, so they accuse other parties with the things that they also do.

They make such move to destroy the Kurdish unity. If other Kurdish parties would sent their fighters to east Kurdistan, the PJAK would not allow that, whatever other parties do, the PKK will say that it is wrong.

Brilliant suggestion :ymapplause:

Only one little problem - I am starting the think that there is not even a word for UNITY in the Kurdish language =))

If Kurds ever united they would have an Independent Kurdistan - what they need is a strong young leader :D

Kurds live in numerous countries (Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Syria etc.) and they speak numerous dialects. So, the unifing is very hard. In Northern Iraq/ South Kurdistan they have autonomy. In other countries are oppressed. I think Kurds from Hewler and Diyarbakir/Amed are quite different. They are so fragmented. I think it's impossible that one young leader with his supperters would create an indepentent Kurdistan. Real life is more complicated.

Unfortunately, overall Kurds do not have any current day heroes apart from Barzani

Kurds need someone to INSPIRE them the way that Qazi Mohamed, Sheikh Said Piran, Seid Riza, Osman Sabri and many others now long dead inspired them.

He once inspired a great many people with his promise of an Independent Kurdistan - now he does not even want Kurds to have any form of autonomy :sad:

He isn't under Turkish control, but he want to be free and he make & made conciliatory gestures. He is still the great rebel leader of the Kurds.

Ocalan has been cut off from his lawyers for over 2 years

The only people allowed to visit him are those who had not seen him for many years - or those who had never met him before

The lawyers who had been party to Ocalan's innermost thoughts and trusted with messages are still prevented from seeing him - WHY - probably because they would be able to notice any difference in his attitude and way of thinking

Karayilan wanted to sent his people to meet with Ocalan - that was refused - now after running the party in Ocalan's absence for many years - Karayilan has lost his position as leader - could that have been partly due to the fact that he wanted people he knew and trusted to visit Ocalan - I do not believe in coincidences

Look at the so-called peace plan - in fact it is nothing more than a rehash of the demands made on the Turkish government by the EU - the only new thing about it is Ocalan has told the PKK to leave Turkey - nothing has changed apart from the increase in Turkish military installations in the Kurdish area

The so-called leaders of North Kurdistan have NEVER held a referendum to ask the Kurds what they want X(
