Israel supports Turkish oppression of Kurds :

London (KurdishMedia.com) 23 February 2008: Israel has been supporting Turkey in its oppression against Kurdish people, revealed local sources.


A spokesperson of the PKK stated that in the current conflict, the Israeli army is assisting Turks in their oppression of Kurds.


The Turkish Prime Minister stated that the incursion is coordinated with “the local administration in Northern Iraq.” This implies that the Kurdistan Regional Government, which Turkey terms as administration of Northern Iraq, avoiding using the words “Kurd” or “Kurdistan”, have been coordinating with Turkey.


By the coordination with the “local administration in Northern Iraq” the Turkish Prime Minister may mean Jalal Talabani, the head of PUK and the President of Iraq. Abdulla Gul telephoned Talabani on Friday. Turkey refuses to recognise any Kurdistan Regional Government. In fact, Turkey refuses to recognsie an ethinc group known as Kurd.


However in a statement, 24 hours after the incursion and under huge pressure from media and people of Kurdistan, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) issued a statement condemning the incursion.
