U.S. Designates Anti-Iranian Kurdish Movement as Terror Group

The United States' Treasury on Wednesday designated the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan (PEJAK) as a terrorist organization.

Operating from within the Kurdish region in northern Iraq, PEJAK has staged attacks across the border with Iran since 2004 on behalf of Iranian Kurdish interests. Iran claims the organization has killed hundreds of Iranian soldiers. It also accuses the U.S. of supporting PEJAK against the regime.

PEJAK is a front for the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), said Stuart Levey, U.S. Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.

The PKK has been targeting Turkish citizens and security forces since the early 1980s. After the U.S.-led invasion into Iraq in 2003, the organization started building bases in northern Iraq from which it launched attacks into Turkey. A year later the organization established PEJAK to operate against Iran.

Ignoring PEJAK's activities in Iran, Levey said that by designating PEJAK his office supported Turkey's efforts to protect its citizens from attack.

He explained that the PKK leadership had authorized Iranian Kurds to create a PKK splinter group that would portray itself as independent from, but allied with, PKK.

“PKK formally institutionalized PEJAK in 2004 and selected five PKK members to serve as PEJAK leaders,“ Levey said in a statement on February 4.

The statement added that PEJAK members carried out their activities in accordance with orders received directly from PKK leaders. When PEJAK tried to commit terror activities in Iran independently from PKK, the latter immediately intervened and recalled those responsible to northern Iraq, the statement said.
