Barzani urges Kurds for fighting for their cause in parliament

Expressing a strong uneasiness with the presence of terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) bases in the Kandil Mountains of northern Iraq, the president of Iraq's Kurdish region has called on PKK members to lay down their arms and get involved in politics instead to save its cause. “My conviction is that Kurds should fight for their cause in Parliament. This is 100 times more effective and better than killing 10 soldiers. We are against the politics of death. In my opinion, the PKK's killing of Turkish soldiers is a big mistake. This is not serving the Kurdish cause. Go and make your war in Parliament,” Kurdish President Massoud Barzani said in remarks delivered to the Kurdish language www.nefel.com earlier this week. “We know that the PKK and the PJAK are not different from each other. The PKK doesn't listen to us. We don't have any intention to take sides in this fight. Because we don't want Kurds to fight with each other,” he added.
