NEWS CENTER – In the history of Kurdistan, many forces and individuals have always taken their place with the enemy and caused the destruction of the Freedom Movements for the Liberation of the Kurdish People. One of these partners of the invaders was the KDP. They had always been on the front of history with this face and has cooperated with the enemy of the Kurdish people.
Although there are positions of the Kurdish parties, but because of their cooperation and hand in the blood of the Kurdish people, they have always been an obstacle to the work and struggle for the freedom of the Kurdish people.
ENTERED IN FRONT OF THE BAAS REGIME’S TANKERS OF THE KILLER OF HALEBCE
On August 31, 1996, i.e. 26 years ago, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (PDK) laid hands on the murderer of the 5,000 victims of Halabja in order to expel the forces of the Kurdistan National Union (YNK) from Erbil; Saddam Hussein’s Baath regime. Then the tanks of the Baath regime entered the city of Erbil and went to the front of the regional parliament.
The KDP entered the front of the Ba’ath regime’s panzers and attacked the YNK peshmerga who were holding Erbil and brought them to the Kurdistan Parliament.
THE REGIME HAS BEEN OUT
In 1991, the Kurdish people in South Kurdistan rebelled against the Baath regime and took a large part of the territory of South Kurdistan from the Baath regime. This was also the first step of the Kurdish people to drive out the invaders on the land of South Kurdistan with such a strong people’s struggle. This gave great strength and morale to the Southern people.
THE INTERNAL WAR OF POWER
After the coup, the conflicts between the PDK and YNK continued and turned into a civil war at the beginning of May 1994. The first war broke out in Ranya district between PDK and YNK. Then this war spread throughout South Kurdistan. YNK headquarters in Dihok and PDK headquarters in Suleimani were closed.
On May 4, 1994, KDP President Masoud Barzani demanded an end to the war and the disbanded Kurdistan Front meeting. But this request did not come to fruition and on May 15, the YNK and PDK war reached the city of Erbil.
On May 19, 1994, the Peace Activities Room was established at the Havinahawar resort in Pirmam, Erbil. After the meeting between Masoud Barzani and Kosret Rasul Ali, a decision was made to stop the war between the two sides. But this was also unsuccessful and the war continued.
On June 3, 1994, the General Secretary of the YNK, Jalal Talebani, announced a unilateral ceasefire. This decision coincided with the control of the Qaladiz and Panjwen districts by the forces of the KDP and the Islamic Movement.
On June 31 of the same year, the Parliament of the Kurdistan Region met in the presence of Jalal Talabani and Masoud Barzani. This meeting managed to reduce the war and tensions to a certain extent. But until the end of 1994, in some places, the war continued intermittently.
MEETING IN DUBLIN
In 1995, the war between YNK and PDK started. On the 15th of January, YNK forces took control of the city of Erbil. The war continued until August 9, 1995. The two Politburoes of YNK and PDK met in the Irish capital, Dublin, with the mediation of the United States. But these meetings failed and could not control the current situation.
THE WAR DIDN’T STOP
On July 28, 1996, a force of Iran’s National Guard crossed the southern border of Kurdistan with the cooperation of YNK and attacked the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran at Heybet Sultan mountain.
On the night of August 17th and 18th, 1996, the civil war between YNK and PDK started for the third time in Rewanduz. YNK captured Sefin and Şeklawe and approached the town of Pirmam. At that time, less than one-third of the southern territory remained in the hands of the PDK.
BARZANI ASKED SADDAM TO HELP
On June 22 of the same year, KDP President Masoud Barzani sent a letter to Saddam Hussein, the leader of the Baath regime, requesting a meeting with Saddam. The letter begins with these words; “Mr. Dear President, use your skills to consider the intervention of the Iranians in the affairs of Iraq.”
A few days after sending this letter, Masoud Barzani goes to Baghdad and has a meeting with Saddam Hussein and they make an agreement.
According to this agreement, the Ba’ath army would help the KDP to capture Erbil. On the other hand, the KDP will allow the Ba’ath army to arrest the supporters and employees of the Iraqi opposition in Erbil and Pirmam and seize their bases.
TELEBANI ALSO BROUGHT IRAN TO IRAN
On the other hand, on the 21st of August, one day before Massoud Barzani sent a letter to Saddam Hussein, Jalal Talabani sent a letter to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian National Guard, Mohammad Jafari, requesting that the force to be sent to the areas under the control of YNK.
BAASH PANZERS STAND IN FRONT OF THE PARLIAMENT
On the morning of August 31, the forces of the Baath army moved from Kirkuk and Musil to Erbil. The number of the Iraqi army reached 30 thousand soldiers and 150 tanks. The first defeat of the YNK forces was on the Guwër-Hewlêr road. The YNK left Erbil without defending it and the Baath regime occupied Erbil. Regime tanks arrived in front of the Kurdistan Regional Parliament building.
YNK Peshmerga leave Erbil and go to Suleimani. From there they go to the border. Then YNK attack with the support of Iran, control Sulaymani and come close to Erbil. They put their limits there due to the threats of the Baath regime.
IN WASHINGTON WITH SIGNATURES THE FIGHT IS ENDED
After 4 years of war and fierce opposition between the KDP and YNK, on September 17, 1998 in the American capital of Washington, KDP President Masoud Barzani and YNK General Secretary Jalal Talabani in the presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs American Madeleine Albright signed an agreement. According to the agreement, peace was made between the two parties and the war between them ended.
THE RESULT OF THE CIVIL WAR: MORE THAN 12 THOUSAND PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES
According to some sources, as a result of the attack on August 31, 450 people lost their lives and more than 200 people were injured. More than 100 people also disappeared. More than 12,000 people lost their lives in the civil war. But some sources say that this number is even higher. Except that hundreds of people are still missing.
WE ARE READY FOR MEDIATION; THE WAR DID A HUGE DAMAGE TO THE KURDISH PEOPLE’
Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Ocalan in his interview at the time with the Arabic newspaper Şerqil Ewset once again stated that they are ready to mediate and said: “We, as the PKK, play the role of mediation and peace between the two sides. We base a democratic and national unity for the Kurds. In history, the wars between the sides have caused great damage to our people. We want this conflict to be resolved through unity and harmony.”
Now the PDK has brought Turkish Panzers and Drones to the South
After this betrayal and corruption in which hundreds of people were killed, the same party and people are now in front of the Turkish tanks, panzers and killer drones that have already sent them to Kurdistan for the power struggle.
The KDP, in agreement with the occupying Turkish state, creates roads and positions for the occupying Turkish state in the mountains of Kurdistan. On the other hand, it prevents logistics and self-defense equipment like masks from reaching the freedom guerrillas against war and chemical weapons, protecting the honor and glory of the Kurdish people.
24 HOURS DRONES FLYING OVER THE SOUTH
On the other hand, with the permission of the KDP and Iraq, killer drones of the occupying Turkish state roam the skies of South and Iraq 24 hours a day and commit war crimes. From the border lines of North and South Kurdistan to Makhmur, Shengal and Rojava Kurdistan, Turkish drones are targeting and killing women and children.
HE JUSTIFIES ATTACKS AND HAS SUBJECTED HIS PUBLICATION TO THE SERVICE OF INCIPATION
In particular, Turkey’s killer drones have targeted dozens of locations in Rojava, Makhmur and Shengal in recent years and killed citizens. KDP defends these attacks and justifies them. It is the spokesperson of the occupying Turkish state and has put its publication at the service of this.
