Hands off Iraqi Kurdistan
Turkey Stay Home
Prevent Turkish Intervention And Invasion In Iraqi Kurdistan

The Kurdish community in Europe and their friends all over the world in great anxiety are following Turkey’s attempt and plans to disrupt and annihilate the Kurdish regime of selfrule, the institutions and infrastructure of the Kurdistan Regional Government and the democratic experiment in Iraqi Kurdistan in its entirety by reviving, in the course of the Iraq crisis, old Turkish hegemonial and expansionist designs. These Turkish intentions aim at the prevention of the emergence of a free, united, democratic and federalist Iraq.

The envisaged invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan by some 60 000 Turkish troops would inevitably lead to grave armed clashes within Iraqi Kurdistan. Furthermore, it would create considerable, dangerous and uncalculable regional tensions. This would dramatically add further to the destabilisation of the entire region.

The Kurdish community in Europe is expressively supporting the motion voted unanimously by the elected Kurdistan National Assembly (parliament) of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, stipulating to reject and to resist any interference by outside regional forces.

We call upon the European and World community, to protect and support the democratic development in Iraqi Kurdistan being the nucleus and bright example for a future free and democratic Iraq. Europe and the World are called upon to stand against any Turkish intervention in Iraqi Kurdistan and to actually prevent it.

The Kurdish issue stands for one of the most important problems of the Near and Middle East. Without a peaceful and democratic solution within the framework of the right to self-determination within a federative Iraq, peace and stability of this region will continue to be at permanent risk.
