Komala and its politics 2- The Kurdish question in Iran and Kurdish people movement Iran is a country of many nationalities and is ruled by a dictatorial and tyrannical regime denies and suppresses the legitimate demands of these oppressed nationalities. They do this to divide and conquer by creating hostilities amongst nationalities and preventing them from overcoming the backwardness of the society as a whole, and the development of healthy and open political and cultural institutions in Iran. It also enforces the continuation and domination of imperialists interests in Iran. The Kurdish nation is an oppressed nationality divided after First World War between the countries of the region, within an overall imperialist order. Kurdish people since then have been denied the basic right of formation of a nation-state and national government. This denial of this basic right was combined and enforced with the severest and most savage suppression of the Kurdish people. The Kurdish national question, although it has multi-cultural and economic aspects, is fundamentally the question of the right of self-determination for the Kurdish people, for formation of a nation-state within the Kurdish territory. Thus, foremost and primarily it is a political question at its core a question of sovereignty of the Kurdish people within the Kurdish land. |
