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.
“Why not have the yellow-red-and-green-colored flag wave beside the
[Turkish] star-and-crescent flag in front of the municipality?”
Baydemir said during a speech at a panel on “Addressing the Kurdish
issue and democratic independence,” part of the opening events for

? Why Iran will continue to shell Iraq
 Ranj Alaaldin
Guardian.co.uk,
Wednesday 16 June 2010
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.
 Cross-border incursions (shelling included) have been a convenient way
for neighbouring states to send a subtle message to Iraq's political
actors. This includes reminding them of the limitations on the level of
success they can achieve, particularly as American troops withdraw.

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

This 1979 photo of an Iranian firing squad executing a group of men, including Ahsan and Shahriar Nahid, won a
Pulitzer Prize.

Among the condemned were Ahsan and Shahriar Nahid. Ahsan, an engineer
in Tehran, had joined a Kurdish separatist organization after the
revolution and moved to Sanandaj. Shahriar, a medical student, had been
visiting his brother when the two were arrested at a military
checkpoint.
