Nobody can doubt the sufferings of the Kurds, especially during the 1988 massacre in Halabja, Iraq, where thousands of civilians were killed by chemical weapons. The people of Indo-European struggle for more than a century for self-determination, which is perfectly legitimate. This may seem questionable by cons is that this will be used, and can even be diverted from its initial objectives by armed groups who do not hesitate to resort to terrorist methods, and perhaps even international drug trafficking. This is in line manifestations of Kurdish organizations and NGOs on the Place des Nations in Geneva, in recent weeks, we could be in relationship with Rizgar (1), a former PJAK (Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan). Political organization and army wants to build an independent state, apparently concentrating its military action on Iran. Our goal is not to cause for either party, but according to the motto of Simenon "Do not judge, understand." To be completely objective, we will soon speak to a manager's assets PJAK, so that it can respond to assertions that our interlocutor has in this interview. Mecanopolis Mecanopolis: PJAK has indicated a desire to intensify its terrorist operations on Iranian soil. What do you think the destructive capacity of this organization? Rizgar: His abilities are not very important. PJAK does not directly conflict with the Iranian forces. Generally, it takes the Kurdish civilians who cooperate with Tehran, or they attack the positions of the border police. Which is contradictory to this organization that claims to fight for the interests of the Kurdish people is that these border cantonments are generally held by two or three young Kurds who do their compulsory military service. It is indeed in Iran, the soldiers doing their military service in the region where they are native. PJAK kills Kurdish therefore, which is the inverse of its leaders claiming intentions. Thus, on April 1, nine young soldiers were killed by Kurdish PJAK to Mariwan (Kurdish region of Iran). To answer your question completely, I can say that PJAK has no heavy weapons, and the number of its armed forces does not exceed 500 men. PJAK is there a real danger to the security of Iran? Frankly, no. 500 armed men can do nothing against the Iranian army. Also, the body of the Revolutionary Guards, the police forces and Basij exceed twenty million men and women. PJAK force lies in its propaganda of victimization in the Western media. Is Iran negotiate directly or indirectly with the PJAK? No, never. Moreover, Abdulrahman Haji Ahmadi, president of PJAK, said in a recent interview that he never participated in any direct or indirect negotiations with the Iranian government. He also claims that it will never happen. For the Iranian government, the PJAK can not be a partner from the moment he committed terrorist acts, and more against Kurdish civilians. PJAK would push through terror. In the numbers 9 and 10 Alternative, the magazine's propaganda organization, they did not hesitate to threaten Kurdish journalists who have reservations about their organization. They also threatened the spokesman of the Organization for Human Rights in Kurdistan, that even while Tehran does not recognize the legitimacy of the NGO. That the PJAK criticizes journalists and NGOs is that they denounce their terrorist attacks against Kurdish civilians.
Historically, the PJAK is one of the "arm" of the PKK. Do you think that these two organizations are still linked today?
This is obvious. A recent interview with Osman Ocalan, brother of Abdullah Ocalan, the founder of the PKK has repeatedly confirmed. PJAK and PKK are in permanent contact. The PKK and PJAK receive military training in the same training camps. The only difference is that PJAK is only active on Iranian soil. Also, the president's official PJAK, Haji Ahmadi, is in place to create the illusion that it is the Iranian Kurds who decide the actions of the organization. In fact, the orders come from instances of the PKK, the highest decision-making level. The United States and the European Union have put PJAK on its list of terrorist organizations. How is it you think that the President of PJAK, Haji Ahmadi, can live freely in Germany? This demonstrates the hypocritical policy of "double standards" of Western countries. Moreover, Belgium has recently given the green light to PJAK to open an office in Brussels. This time, as you indicate, this organization is considered a terrorist. But to understand the issues, we must take into account that, according to Interpol, 80% of the heroin from the Middle East passes through the PKK and PJAK. This represents huge sums that can negotiate benefits for the PJAK with European countries and the United States. PJAK is not active in Iraq. Do you think that this is the result of an agreement with the United States? Certainly. After the events of September 11, 2001, the PKK under American influence, changed the name of its military organizations. This is how new organizations were created: the PJAK in Iran, the PCDK for Iraq, the PYD for Syria. Osman Jafari, who is a leader of PJAK does not hide that he met in 2007 an American delegation in Kirkuk (northern Iraq). What do you think are the real objectives of the PJAK? PJAK, under the pretext of fighting for the independence of the Kurdish people, has actually only one ambition: to destabilize Iran. Its military organization enables it to operate in the trafficking of heroin, which is useful to finance its operations and also to corrupt a number of European and American influential interlocutor. But this organization has actually no credibility. In Iraq, the Kurdish political bodies not recognize him any legitimacy. As Komala (Revolutionary Committee of Iranian Kurdistan) and the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan. Several sources indicate that the PJAK would be funded and trained by the Mossad (Israel) and the CIA (United States). What can you tell us about that? As I have said, the drug trafficking operated by the PJAK is a lot of money. This attracts necessarily overlapping interests. Relations between PJAK and the US-Zionist interests are obvious. Moreover, the American journalist Reese Erlich has written several articles that show that members of PJAK are trained by Israeli soldiers in the grounds of the airport Arabial, in northern Iraq. Kurdish minority living in Iran claims to be abused by the government in Tehran. What do you think? I do not deny the problems of Kurds and other minorities in Iran. The situation is also difficult for the Iranians themselves. However, the mass murder of PJAK are less of a problem in relation to the negligence of Tehran. Nothing legitimizes terrorist PJAK.

You are a former PJAK. Why did you leave this organization? Mainly because of the contradictions between the total objectives and the actions taken on the ground. He was also unbearable that the Kurdish cause is exploited for the benefit of mafia activities. Over time, I realized that the PJAK wandered into a paranoid drift, making each Kurds who do not support the strategy of the organization a traitor potential. I did not want to live in a cult where everyone must worship Apo (Ocalan) as if it were a living god, and where the president of the organization, Haji Ahmadi, is almost nonexistent. When you leave the PJAK, have you received any threats? Do you feel in danger? I have not received any threats. Nobody knows where I live. But cons, other senior PJAK were murdered after defection. Heval Hogir was killed in a bus in Germany Kani Yilmaz Heval, who was the former representative of the PKK in Europe, was killed in the city of Sulaymaniyah, in Iraqi Kurdistan; Heval On Sipan and Kemal have also been killed in the city of Tchamtchamal in Iraqi Kurdistan. These last two murders have even been claimed by Osman Ocalan in an interview with the propaganda organs of the PJAK. Have you given up the fight for the Kurdish people? I abandoned the struggle by violence, as I am now convinced that the terrorist actions by the PJAK will solve nothing. I'm sure if we could organize a referendum among the Kurdish people, he would reject the strategy of mass violence of the PKK and its military organizations. What I want is to put in place, from Switzerland, peaceful actions to be useful to my people.
