Following the signing of an anti-PKK accord in Ankara by Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki, Iraqi Parliament member Mahmut Osman, who is also a member of the Kurdistan Alliance Bloc, noted that the accord did not “reflect the views of the Kurdistan Regional Authority.”
Osman asserted “The signed accord in anathema to the views we had concluded on together prior to Maliki’s visit to Turkey. The PKK are not terrorists, they are opposed to the terror of the Turkish government.”
In further statements on the Iraqi “Sesi” radio station, Osman said: “The Turkish state has been committing crimes against the Kurdish people for nearly 100 years now, and has been refusing to grant the Kurds their rights.”
Osman criticized Maliki’s talks in Ankara, noting “We made it clear that we were opposed to a military operation by Turkey against the PKK on Kurdistan soil. We made this clear directly to Maliki before he went to Turkey, but he did not stay tied to our understanding of the matter.”hurriyet
