For SEO: KDP Evacuates Three Villages in Amadiya, Clearing Path for Turkish Army
According to reports from the ground, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) has evacuated three villages in Amadiya, paving the way for the Turkish army’s attack and occupation plans in Southern Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The KDP, which is closely allied with the Turkish state, is providing support to the occupying army.
Local sources reveal that the KDP established checkpoints on the roads leading to the evacuated villages, effectively closing them off to entry and exit. The Turkish army, along with the Asayish (local public order forces) and KDP-affiliated Peshmerga forces, forcibly evacuated and depopulated nearly 600 villages in Southern Kurdistan.
The KDP, under the control of the Barzani family, maintains a strong alliance with the AKP/MHP regime in Turkey. The Turkish state aims to use the KDP as a tool to incite an internal Kurdish civil war. Over the years, the KDP has consistently targeted guerrillas, facilitated Turkish airstrikes, captured and even disappeared them. Their intelligence service, Parastin, supports the Turkish intelligence service MIT in their attacks against Kurdish activists.
Recent developments indicate that a major escalation is imminent. On 13 September 2023, the KDP dispatched hundreds of armored vehicles and heavy weapons to Bradost after forcibly evacuating the local nomads through threats and repression. The following day, a KDP force attacked guerrilla positions in Gewriya Zînê.
Turkey, with the assistance of the KDP, has been attempting to connect and create a buffer zone along the border of South Kurdistan by displacing the civilian population. Numerous bases, jointly operated by the KDP and Turkish troops, have been established in areas stretching from Behdînan to Bradost. The Turkish army is intensifying its activities in this region, including the establishment of new bases in the Balekayetî region and the borders of Rojava, Zaxo, and Batûfa.
Meanwhile, Turkey continues its relentless attacks on the Medya Defence Zones in southern Kurdistan. Despite the ongoing Turkish incursions, the KDP is clearing the way for Turkey’s expansionist agenda by forcibly evacuating villages and depopulating the affected areas.
Journalist Baran Germiyanî reveals that 158 villages have already been evacuated, and an additional 600 villages are under threat due to pressure exerted by the KDP during Turkish attacks. The KDP’s actions serve to assist Turkey’s genocidal campaign against the Kurdish people.
Cemil Bayık, Co-Chair of the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council, criticizes the KDP for its complicity in Turkey’s genocidal policies. Bayık emphasizes that the KDP’s actions benefit only their own interests and those of the Turkish state, rather than the Kurdish people. He highlights the urgent need for patriots and morally conscious individuals to stand against the politics of genocide and the support provided by the KDP to the Turkish state.
Turkey’s use of the KDP as a proxy in its attacks against the Kurdish people is a cause for concern. The impact of the KDP’s role is evident not only in the Medya Defense Zones but also in Northern and Southern Kurdistan, as well as in Rojava. The Turkish state’s policy of aggression relies on the support of the KDP and the Barzani family.
As the Turkish state intensifies its operations, it is crucial to highlight the plight of the Kurdish people and hold accountable those who collaborate with Turkey’s genocidal campaign. The KDP’s actions must be scrutinized, and efforts to achieve Kurdish unity must be strengthened to counter the destructive agenda of external forces.
