![]() PRESS RELEASE October 26, 2007 Washington DC The America-Kurdistan Friendship League condemns Turkey's threat to launch an incursion into Iraq's northern Kurdish region in a bid to crack-down on Kurdish rebels who are battling Ankara. It condemns any violence in the region and urges the PKK to renounce violence and to adopt a peaceful approach to resolving the Kurdish question within Turkey. The AKFL calls upon President Bush to intervene and to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict by encouraging dialogues among Turkey, KRG, and Iraq. Furthermore, we call upon the US administration to support the US Senate resolution encouraging Iraq to create three ethnic-themed regional governments comprising groups of provinces electing to band together, invoking Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution. The AKFL urges the US administration and the world community to put an end to maintaining the status quo or ignoring the Kurdish question in the Middle East. The AKFL calls upon President Bush to invite the representatives of the Kurds from each part of Kurdistan (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Russia and Turkey) to a US-sponsored peace summit scheduled to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, in late autumn. The AKFL considers any comprehensive peace deal in the Middle East or brokered therein to be destined for failure if it does not address the Kurdish issue. It is now necessary to address the fate of 40 millions Kurds living in the region at the same intensity as that being provided by Palestinian Arabs.
