PJAK, the Kurds and Iranian elections

Loading

During the last weeks much has been said about Iran, because of the rageful demonstrations and riots that followed the contested results of the presidential elections, seriously challenging the establishment and government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. But few or nothing has been said, in western media, on the effects of this electoral process on the Iranian Kurdish population, amounting to an esteemed number of 5 millions people (on a total Iranian population of about 70 millions), and mostly concentrated in the north-eastern regions of the country, the ones bordering Turkey and Iraq. Moreover, it should be kept in mind that the Iranian Kurdish region still holds a special symbolic value for the whole of Kurdish population: it was here, in the city of Mahabad, that the first Kurdish republic was established between 1945 and 1946, with the support of Soviet Union.

Apología de la contaminación o el conflictos entre ideas

Allá por el 1991 la televisión italiana emitió una entrevista con un portavoz de ETA. El revuelo en el Reino de España fue extraordinario. Algunos medios llegaron a pedir la expulsión del enviado de la RAI en el Reino. Como reparación a alguien, en la dirección del la televisión italiana, se le ocurrió la idea de entrevistar al entonces secretario de estado para la seguridad, Rafael Vera. El periodista le preguntó a qué se debía tanto ruido por una entrevista. Rafael Vera preguntó, a su vez, sobre la reacción que tendría el Gobierno italiano si la televisión española entrevistara a un jefe de la mafia. El periodista le respondió que ningún Gobierno italiano se había sentado públicamente en una mesa a dialogar, en un país extranjero, con representantes de la mafia como lo había hecho el Gobierno español en Argel con representantes de ETA.

Kurdistan turco. La pace possibile 0

Striscioni, urla, insulti. Il parlamento turco lo scorso 10 novembre si è trasformato in una sorta di ring. All’ordine del giorno l’annuncio ufficiale, per molti versi storico, da parte del ministro degli interni Besir Atalay della cosiddetta “iniziativa kurda”, ovvero il pacchetto di misure messe a punto dal governo per “risolvere” la questione kurda. Il ministro Atalay non è riuscito a pronunciare che poche parole prima di essere letteralmente travolto dagli insulti e dalle urla dell’opposizione.
