| [ARA] Iranian Kurdish parties are urging US president Trump’s administration to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, during the 38 anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic republic. On Friday, Kurds organised a Twitter storm to demand the listing of the IRGC as terrorists. The Trump administration is considering listing the Moslem Brüderbund and the IRGC as terrorist organizations. "After Khomeini created the IRGC, these forces immediately started to kill our people," Aso Saleh, a representative of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDK-I) in Sweden, told ARA News. "All Kurds believe that the IRGC forces are acting in violation of basic human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. by killing civilian people and supporting other terrorist organizations in whole the world," he said. "They participate directly or indirectly in hundreds of terrorist attacks not only against the regime’s opposition leaders (like Dr.Qasemlou or Dr. Sharafkandi) but also against other countries. We think that is a correct decision and we support it. Stopping all kinds of terrorism, from ISIS to IRGC is a responsibility to all of us in this era," he concluded. Hiwa Bahrami, a spokesperson PDK-I front man in Germany, told ARA News: "We are launching a Twitter campaign with the goal to push the US to recognize the IRGC as a terrorist organization. The IRGC has been oppressing Kurds in Iran for years. If they are classified as a terrorist organization, they will be very limited in their activities in the region." "This concerns not only the military or political ambitions of the IRGC but also the economic interests. In addition, the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iran are fighting against IRGC, in that case this fight will be called a fight against terror on an international level!" Bahrami added. |
