z JAIPUR YOUTH CONCLAVE

GSL:
as representing Peru who has a bilateral
diplomatic relation with the republic of turkey
will in no means encourage the nation and is
in full support with the Kurdish protesters. As
the primary protests were quite peaceful
than the PKK today, it was the government
who by not focusing to these protesters
turned them into violent objectors, their
very first priority was to defend Kurdish
rights. Due to the racial discrimination the
kurds are tolerating and the oppressions from
the government it is quite justified that they
are demanding for a different nation . The
PKK declared the first insurgents after
protesting dreadfully, some protestors going
to an extent of hunger strikes. Moreover, self-
immolation. the point of not using the Kurdish
language in public or private life lingers on
the point of intrusion of the authority into
private lives and violates the freedom of
expression and as turkey tries to rule as a
totalitarian state for the Kurdish people.
Kurds have had a long history of judgment
committed against them by the Turkish
government. Massacres have periodically
occurred against the Kurds since the
establishment of the country . the protestors
also faced torture and were treated Illy . few
examples include police beating the
detainees; sexual violence, including rape;
deprivation of basic needs, deprivation of
medical supplies); verbal abuse, psychological
violence, and intimidation and mortification .
likewise includes hundreds of disappearances
too.
POINTS :
 the insurgents have conducted
assaults in various regions of the
country; however, the PKK mainly
operates in the southeastern border
near the Republic of Iraq. Due to the
constant military presence near the
border, the Turkish military frequently
carries out missions involving ground
incursions and air strikes into the
country of Iraq. Despite warnings from
both the United States of America and
Iraq, the Turkish military continues to
maintain its presence in the region. To
date, the PKK has cost the Turkish
government billion dollars
 a two-and-a-halfyear long ceasefire
between the PKK and the Turkish
government
 . The Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL)-led Siege of Kobani
resulted in a massive wave of Kurdish
refugees fleeing into Turkey, causing
riots across the country which resulted
in dozens of injuries and discontent
among the majority of the Kurdish
population.. As the largest ethnic
minority in Turkey,the Kurdish
population, 15%-30% of the total
Turkish population , has been subject
to a number of massacres in the past,
as well as governmental movements to
deny their status within the country
 During this time, several ceasefires
were declared, but were all
unsuccessful due the negligence of the
national government and its refusal for
negotiation
 the constant oppression of the
national government led to the radical
actions of the PKK
 August 15th, 1984- The start of the
First Insurgence. The PKK begin armed
Kurdish rebellions, including an attack
on the police bases in Şemdinli and
Eruh. N
 February 1, 1991- The Turkish
government eased restrictions on the
Kurdish language. It relaxes bans on
speaking Kurdish and Kurdish music.
However, usage of Kurdish continues
to be forbidden in printed material,
public gatherings, demonstrations, and
education
 May 31st, 2007- The Turkish military
declares possible incursion into Iraq.
The Leader of the Iraqi Kurdistan
insurgency, Massoud Barzani states
 that the Peshmerga (Kurdish military
force) will defend itself.
 August 3rd, 2010- Turkish police officer
and 3 PKK militants were killed after a
PKK attack on police buildings in Eruh.
 August 18th, 2011- Turkish F-16 fighter
jets attack PKK positions in northern
Iraq. Government report shows 168
confirmed hits in Iraq.
 August 23rd, 2012- 21 PKK militants
killed. The PKK detonated bombs on a
military convoy that killed five Turkish
soldiers.
 March 22nd, 2015- Abdullah Ocalan
writes a letter to Turkey. His letter
expresses wish of possible peace.
 July 20th, 2015- Bombing occurs in
Suruç. It killed 32 activists and injured
over 100. Kurdish groups criticize
 Turkish government for involvement
and promotion of the incident.
 Public outcry against the national
government and its unresponsive
offices further furled the creation of
the PKK
 response to these protests the
government showed no signs of action,
hence the Revolutionaries of Kurdish,
the predecessor of the PKK,
announced a formal campaign for
Kurdish rights. The Revolutionaries of
Kurdish were much less violent than
the PKK today and sought peaceful
solutions, including talking to local
farmers and workers about Kurdish
rights. It was in 1978 that the founding
congress of the PKK established its
agenda focused on ensuring Kurdish
rights. Due to frequent attacks from
 other groups, the PKK employed
armed militants to protect the group
 until it declared guerilla war in 1984.
Returning the insurgency to Turkey in
1982, they waged a war for the
creation of an independent Kurdish
state. During this time, many political
leaders within the PKK were arrested
and sent to jail. After extensive protest
and demonstrations, including self-
immolation by fire and a 75- day
hunger strike, the PKK launched its
armed insurgency on August 15th,
1984
 From 1992-1995, around 3000 Kurdish
villages were destroyed by the national
military, leaving over two million
refugees in desperate of homes and a
national identity. The conflict escalated
to a turning point in 1998, when the
 PKK leader, Abdullah Öcalan, was
forced to leave Syria and captured by
the government.
 During the time of the ceasefire, the
Turkish government ignored offers of
negotiations due to claims of
continued militant attacks in several
regions of the country. However,
KONGRA-GEL denied all claims and
stated that it was defending the 700
camps under Turkish attack
 During the ceasefire, the Turkish
government reported that over 700
people were killed in the throughout
the Kurdish insurgency and thousands
more were injured. On June 1st, 2004,
the PKK called off the ceasefire and
resumed activities, claiming that the
Turkish government had ignored the
calls for peace and negotiations. This
 marked the transition into the Second
Insurgency
 PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan's letter to
people was read amidst celebrations in
both Turkish and Kurdish. The letter
called for a ceasefire that included the
disarmament of insurgents and the
withdrawal of all PKK militant forces
from Turkey. This signaled an end to
the 30-year-long armed conflict
 The national government promised
constitutional and legal changes
outlining the recognition of human
rights of the Kurds following the end of
the conflict
 A portion of the Kurdish population
blamed the Turkish government for
helping the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL) amid the crisis,
bringing about far reaching Kurdish
 uproars in several regions of Turkey,
resulting in many injuries and
displaced families. The hostility
between the groups increased during
the summer of 2015 with the
bombarding in Suruç on July 20th. On
July 21st, the PKK purportedly carried
out a retribution assault and
slaughtering a Turkish fighter and
injuring two more in Adıyaman.
 As per the Turkish government,
between July 2015 and May 2016,
2,583 Kurdish insurgents were
slaughtered in Turkey and 2,366 in
northern Iraq, while 483 were
executed among Turkish security
forces
 , 1,856 individuals, including more than
319 civilians, were slaughtered in
Turkey between July 2015 and August
 2016. The Kurdish legal counselor Tahir
Elçi, likewise, was among the
thousands of casualties
 the UN is alarmed by the Turkish
government’s refusal of letting UN
research teams survey the area
 between Turkish forces and the PKK
has led to deaths of unarmed civilians,
of which included women and
children, and caused damage to the
existing infrastructure of local villages
 initiated security operations in at least
30 urban and a number of rural
locations throughout South-East
Turkey, which eventually allegedly
resulted in a number of persons being
killed, displaced or disappeared
 Lack of access of emergency services
to the sick and wounded, ultimately
contributed to the high death toll of
 the operations. In total some 2,000
people were reportedly killed between
July 2015 and August 2016, including
local residents, amongst whom women
and children, as well as close to 800
members of the security forces
 were seen deployed in and around
institutions such as schools. Apart from
unlawful deaths and the excessive use
of force
 n; and severe curtailment of the rights
to freedom of opinion and expression
as well as interference with the right to
participate in public life
 and failure to investigate alleged
human rights violations and prosecute
those responsible]

  showing evidence of torture or ill-
treatment, for fear of harassment and
retaliation by the authorities.
 . Among the most significant is the
Dermis rebellion where 13,160 civilians
were killed by the Turkish Army and
11,818 people were taken into exile,
40,000 people were killed.

Since 2005, Syrian security forces have

repressed at least 14 political and cultural
public gatherings. Factions of the Syrian
National Army (SNA), a Syrian non-state
armed group backed by Turkey in northeast
Syria, have summarily executed civilians and
failed to account for aid workers who
disappeared while working in the ‘safe zone,’
Human Rights Watch said today. The armed
group has also apparently refused to allow
the return of Kurdish families displaced by
Turkish military operations and looted and
unlawfully appropriated or occupied their
property. Turkey and the factions it supports
have indiscriminately shelled civilian areas,
carried out at least seven summary killings,
unlawfully occupied private civilian homes
and shops and looted the owners’ property.
Human Rights Watch interviewed 10
individuals, including 2 doctors and 3
relatives of victims, to document these
abuses. Human Rights Watch also reviewed
footage and images provided by activists and
relatives that corroborate these abuses .   In
the more than five years since March 2004,
Syria has maintained a harsh policy of
increased repression against its Kurdish
minority. This repression is part of the Syrian
government’s broader suppression of any
form of political dissent by any of the
country’s citizens.

Some of the Economic, social, and

cultural rights include the human right to
work and right to education. Human
Rights Watch documented the execution
of a Kurdish political activist, Hevrin
Khalaf, and researched what happened
to three Kurdish Red Crescent aid
workers who disappeared in SNA-
controlled territory, including the
apparent unlawful killing of at least one
of them. Human rights law includes all
economic and social rights, as well as civil
and political rights like the right to free
speech and the right to a fair trial. As I
would like to oppose something the
delegate of Denmark stated that the
kurds are treated well but violated the
freedom of free speech .
Denmark banned Kurdish TV station and
fines it £1.2m, as kurds have been denied
free speech in many countries including
Denmark too . The protests in 2004,
which many Syrian Kurds refer to as their
intifada (uprising), as well as
developments in Iraqi Kurdistan. As we
can see that there were and are many
protests conducted by the kurds . And
the delegate of peru totally agrees with
the delegate of china to conduct a cencus
as it will let us know about the
preferences of the Kurdish people and
allow us to know what they actually
seek.
