Kurds on hunger strike in Dublin demanding revocation of Lausanne Treaty


 On 88th anniversary of Lausanne Treaty which divided Kurdistan into four parts, Kurds in Ireland launched a 3-days hunger strike today outside European Union House.
The hunger strikers demand the revocation of Lausanne Treaty and the full recognition of Kurds to self-determination.
They also strongly condemn the latest Iranian invasion of South Kurdistan and urge European Union to break the silence and take stance against the oppression of Kurdistan at the hands of the occupiers.
Lausanne Treaty signed on 24th July 1923 officially divided Kurdistan between Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The Treaty denied the very existence of the Kurds and exposed them to the most horrendous state terror that one nation could ever be subjected to.
They hunger strikers demand the revocation of the Treaty or its replacement by another pact, where the right of Kurds are fully recognised.
