KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Co-presidency has called attention in a written statement to the increasing reports published by some media outlets in South Kurdistan against the Sinjar policy of the Kurdish movement. KCK stressed that the reports about KCKs alleged intention to separate Sinjar from Kurdistan didnt reflect the truth, recalling the statements of KCK Committee of Foreign Affairs, members and co-presidency of the KCK all of which repeatedly denied these assertions. Remarking that in line with the general perspective of the KCK movement, assessments have been made regarding the attainment of Sinjar an autonomous administration affiliated to the South Kurdistan Federation, KCK stressed that none of these however made a mention of autonomous regions separated from the South Kurdistan Federation. The statement pointed out that Since after the conference in Sinjar where Yazidis made a decision to govern and defend themselves, some media outlets, political institutions and circles in South Kurdistan have launched a smear campaign against the PKK. These media reports aim to reflect Sinjars decisions as if ours and are not in accordance with the national interests of the Kurdish people for pointing our movement as a target through unfounded news within a process when a great struggle is being waged for the liberation of Sinjar. The KCK statement underlined that the meeting in Sinjar was held by Yazidis independently from the Kurdish movement, and that a meeting and discussion among the Yazidi people, who have been through a huge massacre and whose existence is still under threat, should be taken normally. A friend of ours (referring to Sozdar Avesta) attended the meeting because of her Êzîdî identity. KCK remarked that the decisions the Yazidi people in Sinjar made with their own will could be practiced on the basis of the Yazidi peoples own will and within a certain consensus needed to be reached following a discussion with all national powers for they also interest all the people of Kurdistan. Shortly- KCK continued- our Yazidi people will need to practice their decisions in a dialogue with all political powers in South Kurdistan to which Sinjar is affiliated. Should we deem this decision a right one, it should be considered a national duty of ours to support as a national force our Yazidi people for their establishment of an autonomous administration and self-defense. Our mentality and political idea doesnt approve making and practicing decisions on behalf of a community. Allegations that the meeting and decisions in Sinjar were organized by the PKK are not true., KCK stressed. The statement by KCK Executive Co-presidency also emphasised that establishment of an autonomous administration of Yazidis in South Kurdistan Federation wasnt only a requirement of democratisation but also would create a situation that will not weaken but strengthen South Kurdistan and the ties between Yazidis and the Federation. KCK said that they believed South Kurdistan Federation must assume responsibility in order for Sinjar to attain self-administration and self-defense and, pursue this policy which will strengthen itself also. The statement emphasised that the Kurdish movement had no intention or thought about taking some places under control and ruling them, warning that the propaganda-spreading and unfounded media reports had a risk of confronting Kurdish joint defense forces that are resisting in Sinjar with the responsibility of saving the occupied lands in South Kurdistan. KCK stressed that it should be preferred to come up with a solution to the problems through dialogue and discussion within the current process when the Middle East is facing great dangers and possibilities are increasing to achieve further attainments. We declare once again that we are ready to fulfill our part and responsibility in the face of any kind of problem, KCK added.
