Ameen criticizes sides reject peace-agreement between Turkey, PKK

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Lateef Mustafa Ameen, of the Parlaimentary Legal Committee accused the sides that rejected the peace-agreement between Turkey and the PKK in attempting to distract the attention from the internal disputes and problems in Iraq towards foreign issues.

He stated to IraqiNews.com “The PKK is not a terrorist organization rather it is a party that strive for gaining freedom for its people,” noting that “It is strange that we hear some MPs from the State of Law Coalition and the federal government who object the peace process while they were silent towards the war between Turkey and PKK.”

“Peace is more useful for us than for Turkey since it will eliminate the justifications for the Turkish sides for bombarding the Kurdish villages,” he added.

“These objections are parts of the regional political game,” he remarked.

“Peace is supposed to be welcomed rather than being rejected since the elements of the PKK are not a threat for any side,” he concluded.
