Petition for the removal of PKK from the list of terrorist organizations

ANF - WASHINGTON12.08.2014 14:30:30

An online petition campaign to U.S. Obama administration has been launched asking the removal of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) from the list of international terrorist organizations. The petition can be signed at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/remove-kurdistan-workers-party-pkk-list-international-terrorist-organizations/pxgNYqFD

Signatories of the petition defend that "PKK has been a partner in defending Iraq and Kurdistan against the Islamic State (IS), thus the US government should remove the PKK from the list of international terrorist organizations – immediately."

The petition also reminds that as of August 2014 the US government is assisting the Iraqi government and the regional government in defending the city of Erbil (Hewler), where American diplomats and personnel are stationed.

In January 2004 the US government declared the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) a terrorist organization under US law. The PKK is a Kurdish political and military organization which from 1984 to 2013 fought an armed struggle against the Turkish state for cultural, political and civil rights.
