Lavrov: Kurdish issue should not be neglected

The Kurds are present in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. They are deprived of their political, social and cultural rights, and they are treated as second-class people with policies of displacement, extermination.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with Russia 24 television on Friday that the Kurdish issue in Syria should not exacerbate tensions in the region.

"The Kurds are living in Iraq and Iran, and certainly there are a large number of Kurds living in Turkey. Nobody wants this region to explode because of tensions over the Kurdish issue, and nobody wants the Kurds to feel like citizens," Lavrov said. Second-class. "

"The problem of the Kurds cannot be ignored ... is a problem that goes beyond the Syrian crisis," he said.

Regional and international powers overlook the solution of the Kurdish issue in Syria and seek to leave the Kurds without rights at the wishes of regional states, especially Turkey and Iran, but in Syria, the Kurdish issue is a Syrian issue and its solution must be Syrian by recognizing the Kurdish rights and Autonomous Administration declared by the Kurds with the rest of the region. Not in a centralized system that does not recognize their rights.

The Kurds have been struggling for nearly 100 years for their rights, but their rights faced by massacres committed by the ruling authorities in the four countries and do not recognize their rights and prevent them from political work and prevent them from even learning their language in schools.
