PAKURD (Kurdistan Party) Chairman Ed Gewran addressed Russia in a statement delivered in Russian, urging Moscow to leverage the "Kurdish card" to support the recognition of "Kurdistanbul." Gewran's message emphasized the readiness of Kurdish nationalists to move forward with the establishment of a status for Kurdistanbul, asking whether Russia is prepared to back such an initiative.
The call reflects a strategic appeal for Russian involvement in Kurdish aspirations, highlighting the potential geopolitical implications of Moscow supporting Kurdish autonomy or status recognition in the region. Kurdish nationalists see Russia as a key player that could influence the course of their ambitions.
"We are ready for Kurdistanbul, are you?" Gewran stated, encapsulating the essence of the appeal. The statement is seen as part of a broader effort to garner international support for Kurdish self-determination and to position Kurdistanbul as a focal point in the regional political landscape.
This move underscores the ongoing dynamics of Kurdish nationalism and the strategic alliances being sought to achieve their political goals.
