for cru<strong>de</strong> exports.<br />
The ambassador said iraq was compl<strong>et</strong>ely opposed to<br />
U.N. Securi~ Council Resofution 986, which gave it limited<br />
permissIOn to export oil, saying the resolution did not<br />
allow Baghdad the freedom to use its money as well as<br />
export oil jn any way it pleased. "But our targ<strong>et</strong> was not<br />
Turkey," lie stressed.<br />
He said Iraq had conveyed to Turkey that it wants to<br />
enhance its ties with Ankara without any future interference.<br />
"We have some problems b<strong>et</strong>ween Turkey and Iraq<br />
but we can sort them out ourselves. We want to talk wiili<br />
Turkey as friends, brothers and good neighbors."<br />
He said friends can always exchange complairits, but<br />
this should not cast a shadow on ties.<br />
The ambassador said the fight b<strong>et</strong>ween rival Kurdish<br />
groups in northern Iraq has hurt stability in the area. He<br />
said 1raq fears the rrre in northern Iraq could spill into<br />
Turkey.<br />
He said the iraqi Kurds have shownthey cannot run the<br />
area and claimed' "they su,pport the PKK (the outlawed<br />
Kurdistan Workers', Party).<br />
He charged that the Kurdish Democracy Party (KDP)<br />
of Massoud Barzani had given refuge to PKK terrorists<br />
when Turkey launched its recent incursion into northern<br />
Iraq in March. He said PKK militants fleeing from<br />
Turkish forces had been ~iven new clothing by the KDP<br />
people and had melted lOto the Iraqi Kurdish villages<br />
which support the KDP.<br />
In<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt Iraqi Kurdish sources contacted in Europe<br />
conrmned the PKK-KDP link during the Turkish military<br />
action.<br />
They said the Kurds were annoyed with the Turkish<br />
presence in the area and had thus given shelter to the PKK<br />
groups. The Iraqi ambassador said the Iraqi government<br />
had anned and financed the Kurdish groups in the past in<br />
a plan similar to the village guard system in Turkey. He<br />
smd in the end these Kurdish groups rebelled and joined<br />
Banani and Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan<br />
(PUK). "Now they will do the same to Turkey," he<br />
warned.<br />
Meanwhile, the TON learned that a high-powered PUK<br />
<strong>de</strong>legation will arrive in Ankara today to start talks with<br />
Turkish officials on how to provi<strong>de</strong> security in the bor<strong>de</strong>r<br />
areas and tame the PKK groups which threaten Turkey.<br />

Communiqué <strong>de</strong> la Ligue<br />
<strong>de</strong>s Droits <strong>de</strong> l'Homme (L.D.H.)<br />
Réflexion<br />
sur la question kur<strong>de</strong><br />
Du point <strong>de</strong> vue <strong>de</strong>s militants<br />
<strong>de</strong>s Droits <strong>de</strong> l'Homme. la tragé-<br />
,die kur<strong>de</strong> a commencé réellement<br />
avec la signature du<br />
« Traité <strong>de</strong> Lausanne », le 24 juill<strong>et</strong><br />
1923,<br />
Ce traité constttue l'acte du<br />
partage en 4 du Kurdistan,<br />
Les quatre pays concernés directement<br />
par la question kur<strong>de</strong>,<br />
sont: la Turquie, l'Iran, l'Irak, <strong>et</strong><br />
la Syrie.<br />
Dans le passé, le peuple kur<strong>de</strong><br />
a payé assez.cher, le prix <strong>de</strong> plusieors<br />
handicaps majeurs.<br />
1) La richesse pétrolière du Kurdistan,<br />
2) les choix stratégiques du gouvernement<br />
d'Ankara, <strong>et</strong> son<br />
appartenance à l'Alliance<br />
atlantique, (15 <strong>de</strong>s 25 millions<br />
<strong>de</strong> Kur<strong>de</strong>s dans le mon<strong>de</strong>, vivent<br />
au Kurdistan <strong>de</strong> la Turquie),<br />
3) le soutien inconditionnel <strong>de</strong><br />
l'Occi<strong>de</strong>nt au Chah d'Iran,<br />
4) les conflits régionaux .dont le<br />
peuple kur<strong>de</strong> a souvent fait<br />
les frais,<br />
Aujourd'hui, la question kur<strong>de</strong><br />
n'est plus celle <strong>de</strong> 1923 ou <strong>de</strong><br />
1945, La conscience politique <strong>et</strong><br />
culturelle kur<strong>de</strong>, fait son ch~min<br />
avec <strong>de</strong>s figures d'avenir. Plusieurs<br />
facteurs interviennent en<br />
faveur <strong>de</strong> ce changement. La formation<br />
élargie <strong>de</strong> l'Intelligentsia<br />
kur<strong>de</strong> en <strong>de</strong>hors <strong>de</strong>s structures<br />
traditionnelles, La présence d'une<br />
diaspora représentative du Kurdistan,<br />
avec son soutien économique<br />
<strong>et</strong> la place <strong>de</strong> plus en plus<br />
importante <strong>de</strong>s citadins dans la<br />
mouvance politique <strong>et</strong> associative.<br />
La Ligue <strong>de</strong>s Droits <strong>de</strong><br />
l'Homme dénonce <strong>de</strong>puis <strong>de</strong>s années<br />
les graves violations <strong>de</strong>s<br />
Droits <strong>de</strong> l'Homme perpétrés<br />
dans la région kur<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> Turquie,<br />
La LD.H. constate aussi l'aggravation<br />
<strong>de</strong> la répression<br />
commise à l'encontre <strong>de</strong>s militants<br />
<strong>de</strong> l'Association turque <strong>de</strong>s<br />
Droits <strong>de</strong> l'Homme ; <strong>et</strong> les violations<br />
systématiques <strong>de</strong>s normes<br />
internationales,<br />
En fait, <strong>de</strong>rrière l'apparence <strong>de</strong><br />
la démocratie, une dictature <strong>de</strong><br />
fait s'installe en Turquie, Si la tâche<br />
<strong>de</strong>s militants <strong>de</strong>s Droits <strong>de</strong><br />
l'Homme est aussi <strong>de</strong> prévenir, il<br />
est aussi <strong>de</strong> notre <strong>de</strong>voir, d'encourager<br />
toute réflexion créative,<br />
qui prendra en compte les droits<br />
légitimes du peuple kur<strong>de</strong>.<br />
Dans c<strong>et</strong>te optique la LD.H.<br />
