Turkish and Iranian government waging war against the Kurds

 Iran and Turkey’s pact against the Kurdish resistance movement is being executed by these states. They do dually target the Kurds from both sides and carry out joint-military operations.
Both countries have undertaken concrete steps including joint military operations and intelligent sharing against the Kurdish guerrillas.
The Turkish and Iranian pact was singed on 14^th August 2008 under the title of so-called “war on terror”. Their aim was to liquidate the Kurdish liberation movement.
According to the pact both countries pledged to fight against the Kurdish guerrillas of PJAK (Free Life Party of Kurdistan) and the PKK (Kurdistan Worker’s Party).
It should be noted that similar agreement has been reached among Turkey, Iraq, and the US as a part of attempt to liquidate the Kurdish resistance movement.
The American officials had announced that their spy aircrafts had provided the equivalent of 400 million dollars intelligences to Turkey.
An interesting point about these pacts is that the intelligences that the American trade to Turkey, is offered to Iranian officials through Turkey.
Turkey receive intelligence from the US and it gives it to Iran to massacre the Kurds
On the one hand the US is putting embargo on Iran, on the other hand she provides Iran with intelligence to fight the Kurds.

Erdogan addressed a crowd consisting largely of members of Ensarioğlu Tribe and Hezbollah supporters in Diyarbakir.
He did not put a clear emphasis on the Kurdish problem and held up Selahattin Eyyubi as an example sending the message that “ethnical origin is not important”.
Forgetting about his statements of three week ago that “There is no Kurdish problem, my Kurdish brothers have problems”, Erdogan remarked that the CHP (Republican People’s Party) denies the existence of the Kurdish problem.
