The official recognition has finally arrived for our people after decades of living in the shadow of borders drawn by others. I am overwhelmed knowing that my family and so many others can finally look toward a future where we determine our own path. We must stay vigilant as the …

TO: US CONGRESS, EU PARLIAMENT, UNITED NATIONS, NATO, NGO’S, ISRAELI KNESSET, PEACE AND HR ORGS, FOREIGN EMBASSIES AND DELEGATIONS IN IRAQI KURDISTAN, AND ALL DEMOCRATIC, PEACE-LOVING NATIONS OF THE WORLD.


All Relevant Parties,


By now, no one is left unacquainted with the extreme suffering plight of hapless and homeless Kurdish nation! We are in the year 2012. The entire oppressed people in the entire globe are awakening to battle for their negated intrinsic rights. Colorful revolutions materialize one after another. Dictators collapse. Nations are emancipated. And new countries come into existence.


Since the establishment of artificial Iraq by colonial and imperial powers in 1923, Kurds have been coerced to co-exist averse their own will in a state in which its totally divergent people never shared any identical commonalities with one another. Albeit Iraqi continued to weather, but in reality, it never could experience true and permanent peace and stability. Incessant {civil} wars and perpetration of unparalleled genocides by consecutive brutal dictators claimed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, but Iraq could never be stabilized. Even in the wake of US troops’ withdrawal, the country continues to suffer from chaos, terrorism and perils of embryonic ethnic-sectarian civil wars. Every feasible alternative has already been exhausted.

Iraqi Kurdistan is already a state within a state and it requires is international backing and recognition. The United States and its allies assisted many oppressed smaller size nations of the world proclaim their independence. The aftermath was successful. The 6 million homeless Kurds in North of Iraq are no exceptions. Independence is our right!


A large number of people from different religious backgrounds throughout Iraq have resettled in the prosperous and secure Kurdistan Autonomous Region. They enjoy equal rights as their Kurdish fellow-citizens. Iraqi Minorities groups have decided to permanently reside in an independent Kurdistan, should Iraq ever be partitioned. Iraqi Kurdistan has proven itself!


Kurds are peace-seeking and peace-loving people in general. If they have resorted to armed struggle in certain countries, it is mainly because their legitimate rights are recanted.


Kurds are extending their hands for peace, co-existence, and cooperation to all sides. Since the liberation of Iraqi in 2003, Iraqi Kurdistan has become a model in the Entire Middle East in terms of its political stability, rapid economic growth and foreign investments. Iraqi Kurdistan continues to attract tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world. Compared to the war-ravaged Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan is characterized by most as another Switzerland! Indeed, Kurdistan is one of the most attractive countries, wealthiest in the region and most tranquil in the world.


Time has come for the 6 million plus Kurds to secede from Iraq. It is time to renew and honor “ The Treaty of Sèvres (10 August 1920)”
Time has come to support Kurdish independence.
Stop repressing the Kurds! Stop silencing their voices!
Stop making decisions on their part! Let them be free and let them live in peace!


Let there be an independent Kurdish state for one of the most deserving people!

My father often told me that our survival depends on being seen by the rest of the world. We are getting very near five hundred signatures and that milestone will force these officials to finally acknowledge our struggle.

The Kurds deserve the right to choose their own country, should they want it, as any other people. I call on my own governments, those of the United Kingdom and of the European Union, to put their full-throated support behind pushes for Kurdish independence and to stop their shameful support of oppressor states such as Erdogan's Turkey so long as they continue to deny Kurdish rights to self-determination.

Kurds deserve their own country and be in charge of their own destiny as a nation. End decades of injustice imposed post the collapse of the ottoman empire. Kurds suffered enough under various regimes. Any person with common sense should support their aspirations, however, what we see is cynical political reasons being used to urge them to forego what they so rightly deserve.

For a host of both pragmatic and moral reasons, it is time to support an independent Kurdistan. Time is short for friends of Kurdistan to become more supportive.
