MPs warn of Foreign Office “incoherence” on plight of Kurds
THE Foreign Office has an “incoherent” position on the future of Syrian Kurds and has failed to defend Iraqi Kurds, MPs charged yesterday.
A damning report from the Commons foreign affairs committee said that Boris Johnson’s department needs a “clear view” on the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).
The YPG has formed a major part of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which the British government has been supporting with air strikes in the fight against Isis.
But Turkey views the group and its political wing the Democratic Union Party (PYD) as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is classed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey and Britain.
and by other NATO governments like the Netherlands.
… The committee recommended the Foreign Office “clarify its own position on the relationship between the PYD/YPG and the PKK.”
The criticism follows renewed violence in the region.
Following the independence referendum in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region — deemed unconstitutional by Baghdad — last year, Iraqi government forces stormed disputed territories in a campaign involving numerous allegations of rights abuses. …
In northern Syria, Turkey launched an offensive aimed at removing Kurdish forces from the Afrin and Tel Rifaat areas three weeks ago. More than 60 civilians have been killed and the invasion has been dogged with allegations of war crimes, including the deployment of napalm.
Yet ministers had “little to say” on the corruption or human rights issues, according to the committee.
Opposition politicians have condemned the ongoing violence and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has expressed “solidarity with the Kurdish people.”

Turkish attacks destroy the nature in Southern Kurdistan
Bombardments of the occupant Turkish state started a fire in and around the village of Kortek. The fire left thousands of trees in ashes and many animals perished.
The occupant Turkish state that imposes a genocide on the Kurdish people declared officially on June 11 that an operation would be launched against southern Kurdistan, northern Iraq.
This aggression was, no doubt, nothing new. The Turkish state has long been carrying out all kinds of annihilation attacks against Kurdistan freedom struggle. Kurdish people are, as always, resisting against the attacks with determination.
The Turkish state is not only attacking Kurdistan freedom struggle but also trying to destroy the nature of Kurdistan. Dictator Tayyip Erdoğan is targeting all the living beings in Kurdistan- women, children, young and old alike- for the sake of his rule.
Little Solin, who died, along with five members of her family, in a bombardment by Turkish warplanes on Kortek road in 2010, is a severe and blatant example of the aggressive savagery of the Turkish state.
The Turkish state is systematically burning down the Kurdistan geography every year. A few days ago, yet another Turkish bombardment started a fire around the Kortek village. Thousands of trees in the targeted forested area burned to ashes.
The fire that lasted two days spread to a larger area where a monument erected in memory of Little Solin and her family is located. The fire could be taken under control only thanks to the efforts of the local people.
A large number of animals also perished as a result of this fire. Some other animals that managed to survive are relentlessly trying to rebuild a nest now.
