osman_baydemir.jpgTurkey should allow the creation of local legislatures apart from the national Parliament, Diyarbakır Metropolitan Mayor Osman Baydemir said Saturday during a speech in the eastern Anatolian province of Tunceli.

Over the past month Iran has continuously and relentlessly shelled villages along its border with Iraqi Kurdistan, displacing thousands, wounding many and killing one 14-year-old girl.

The ostensible target of these attacks is the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan, an Iranian-Kurdish militant movement known as Pejak. However, the decision to send military units across the border and establish bases (according to Kurdish sources) could be part of a broader Iranian strategy to maintain a long-term physical presence inside Kurdish territory. At the very least it is a provocative measure that Iran may justify on the basis of what it considers to be a threat posed by Pejak, but the reasons may go beyond this.

The lies of Iran, in pictures
 
The Los Angeles Times: In 1979, and again last year, the reality of the Islamic Republic was revealed in famous images of death.
