Head of KDP’S Foreign Relations Officer participates at A conference on the Kurdish issue

A Kurdistan Democratic Party delegation led by Head of KDP Foreign Relations Office Hemin Hawrami formally participated at the conference calling for peace in the region in a first major international conference in Ankara.

Representatives of Kurdish parties in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria hailed the settlement process on Saturday launched by the Turkish government to end the country’s decades-old conflict with the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), calling for peace in the region in a first major international conference in Ankara.

Hemin Hawrami, head of foreign relations of   Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), noted that Kurdish question in Turkey should not be considered as an issue of security. “It is very important for Turkish government to redefine its perception towards Kurds. It should not be considered as a tool for political gains. There should be a collective responsibility to prevent the process from facing a

Deadlock,” said Hawrami.

KDP representative also maintained that Kurds are currently playing an important role in reshaping the region. “Turkey will be stronger if it finds solution to its decades-long issue with Kurds. Kurds proved that they are not a threat against any country, particularly Turkey,” Hawrami told Today’s Zaman.

According to Hawrami, Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) have been always a part of a solution rather than a part of the problem. “We are again ready to be the part of the solution in Turkey. Peace process should move forward rather than backward,” said Hawrami.
