The Kurdish problem also present in Iran

The overall implementation by the Iranian authorities, the death sentences against people of Kurdish origin, belonging to a group described as an expression of the Sunni fundamentalist terrorism, it has aroused protests from human rights organizations. Tehran, while acknowledging the success of the operation, did not specify their number, who, according to some sources would total between 10 to 20 people, while according to the Kurds amount of about 40 executions. The group they belonged to the Kurds in Iran is considered on a par with Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. According to Iranian authorities, as well as having carried out the death sentences, they would have stopped more than 100 members of the Kurdish formation, the terrorist group would be the author of several attacks in the Iraqi Kurdistan region, which would have resulted in several casualties among the police, Religious and judiciary. In Iran to the capital sentences is not publicized, the fact that, in this case, has been given ample relief, represents an anomaly, which must be understood as a political signal. Tehran wanted to publicize the fact, presumably, to highlight that it intends to nip possible Kurdish aspirations for autonomy of the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Essentially the situation in Iran would have some similarities with the Turkish one, where the government in Ankara has intensified long the action of repression of Kurdish attempts to gain autonomy. This execution has not only a punitive purpose, but also preventive, to avoid that the Kurdish situation always assume a greater dimension in the search for a greater autonomy. It must be recalled that the Kurds are a people divided into four states: Iran and Turkey, in fact, as well as Syria and Iraq. In the latter two were the ongoing war against the Islamic State, where Kurdish militias have been deployed on the ground, alongside the Western coalition and also of the same fighters Iranians, the autonomy instances are having many prospects, because of the role played in the war. Iraq, then, the Kurdish region already enjoys considerable autonomy, which allows him to manage the oil fields and administer justice. The Iraqi Kurds have embarked on a real journey that would take them to the creation of the first independent and sovereign Kurdish state. Even in Syria the situation is better compared to Iran and Turkey, the Kurdish fighters have defended their territory against the Islamic state and Assad appears to be a tacit agreement of non-aggression, which could lead, when were to end the Syrian conflict , to achieve autonomy, which could be of absolute sovereignty or within the Syrian state. This item has been cleverly exploited by Damascus in the Turkish anti function, because for Ankara to have a Kurdish state on their borders would represent the greatest danger possible. In the past Iran, as did Turkey bombed Kurdish areas inside the Iraqi territories, making clear violations of international law, because it attributed to the Iraqi Kurds, as did the Turks, to host military bases, from which departed hostile acts against Tehran. The war against the Islamic state has changed the relationship between the Iranians and Iraqi Kurds, who often fought on the side, to prevent the advanced caliphate, intending to anchor finally at the borders with the Iranian state. If, then, the Iranian attitude changed with the Iraqi Kurds, with those on its territory it seems to escalate in order to avoid dangerous claims, can alter the equilibrium state. In addition there are also international implications, since Iran has accused Saudi Arabia of financing and fomenting the Iranian Kurds, who are Sunni Muslims, to try to destabilize the Iranian country. It is a hypothesis not confirmed, but possible, within the profoundly altered the dialectic that exists between the two countries; Riyadh could exploit a contingent situation, already present for years and certainly not created by Saudi Arabia, perhaps to compensate for this situation mirrored in Yemen, where the Saudis accuse Iran of supporting the Shi'ite rebels. In any case, the Kurdish issue is likely to play more and more important in the future on the international scene.
