In the Middle East, wars have not stopped since ancient times, but the peoples living in this territory suffer from this. These were the Kurds. They are now one of the divided nations. To create a country for representatives of this nation, the Kurdistan Workers' Party is dreaming. The fight has been going on for several centuries.
Problem history
You need to understand that the Kurds live in the territory, which neighbors constantly conquered. This is the root of the problem. The proud people simply did not have the opportunity to build their own state, protecting their rights. Therefore, the Kurdistan Workers Party was created. This organization is fighting to restore historical justice. Indeed, for many centuries the people had to endure humiliating restrictions on the part of the conquerors. Turkey fought with Iran, and the fighting took place in the territories of the Kurds. In principle, all these battles did not lead to anything. The borders have not changed much. The Kurds staged revolts, fought for independence, but they lacked strength. Their leaders did not give up. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Kurdish state was even proclaimed. It was trying to create Mahmed Pasha Revandusi. But each time the desire of the people for an independent and peaceful life came across a stiff rebuff from the Turks and the Persians.
Current situation
To understand what the Kurdistan Workers Party is today, it is enough to know one thing: these people are divided today. Its representatives live in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. Despite their brutal suppression, their desire for independence is not broken, especially since the Middle East is now a "powder keg". Here, clashes of various forces constantly occur, turning into a bloody massacre. Unfortunately, Kurds live at the border crossing of destroyed countries. Syria and Iraq cannot be considered normal states at present. The authorities of both countries retain control over only small pieces of territories. In other areas, the prohibited organization of the IG is operating. Its methods are known all over the world, and they cannot be called humane in any way. The Kurdistan Workers' Party in these conditions organizes the protection of the population from all. These are not simple words, because the Kurds are literally surrounded by enemies. Gangs threaten their settlements, and no one seeks protection. Only people themselves can take care of themselves. The Kurdish Workers' Party is creating armed groups designed to simultaneously serve as police and army. Political scientists argue that this is the state in its infancy. Almost Syrian Kurds were able to organize themselves, to develop rules of existence for the people, to create effective protection of territories.
Turkey and Kurdish Workers Party
Iran and Syria are almost destroyed. This misfortune gave the Kurds a chance to gain independence. Turkey is another matter. In this country, the authorities do not want to put up with the "separatist sentiments" of a part of the population. Turkey officially recognized that the Kurdistan Workers Party is a terrorist organization. Her activities are prohibited in the country. Against the representatives of this organization, a struggle is being conducted by special services and the police. At the end of 2015, an anti-terrorist operation was launched in Turkey . It is conducted in those areas where Kurds live. Political scientists are confident that Turkey is gradually plunging into a civil war, as Ukraine previously. The fact is that the authorities cannot allow all political parties to operate freely in the country, and their programs try not to inform the population. The situation in this country is very tense. The Kurds seek independence, which will lead to the loss of territory by Turkey.
International consensus
Many experts are sure that the Kurdish problem cannot be solved by local forces. Help is needed to the peoples from the international community. But the situation is complicated by the fact that in these territories there are many terrorist organizations recognized as such in some countries. Before giving Kurds independence, it is necessary to free countries from them. This is what the Russian aerospace forces did in the fall of 2015. Negotiations are ongoing with the Kurds. They are generally disconnected on a territorial basis. Syrian say they do not insist on secession. Iraqi Kurds actually formed their own state, Turkish are fighting with the authorities. How the Kurdish question will be solved, time will tell. However, one cannot do without the UN Security Council. It is necessary to use all possible diplomatic means so that the blood of the long-suffering people ceases to irrigate the land.
