Divided into four pieces by the imperialists and colonialists and carrying out a life cost struggle for its freedom, Kurdistan has the right to unite or found its own independent state in each part on self-determination base and it is legitimate.

Even though our Kurdish people have already gained a certain status in Başur (South) and Rojava (West) parts, colonialist oppression and tyranny still continue in the most populated and largest part Bakur (North) Kurdistan and in Rojhilat (East). In all parts, national unity and common struggle is a contemporary matter and a vitriolic need. The independence referendum brought up by Mesud Barzani-led KDP in Başur Kurdistan is one of the forms of self-determination and it is legitimate in terms of declaring the will. Colonialist regional states', Turkey's and Iran's attempts to block the referendum and their threatening manner are illegitimate. 'Early' statements of imperialists are an unfair and unrighteous attitude that disregards the most basic democratic right of our people.

While fascist Turkish state's planes are bombing the Medya Defense Zones at the anniversary of Shingal firman, while Kurdistan parliamentary is closed and the president of the parliament is not allowed to enter Hewler, while convening the national congress is stumbled by KDP and the current South administration maintains its cooperation with the biggest Kurdish enemy colonialist Turkish state at all levels, how much is it possible to create a national democratic will on Kurdistan's independence referendum? Doesn't this situation encourage the colonialist regional states to obstruct the referendum? In a tight situation both inside and outside, Barzani's and his close circle's bounding up their political prosperity with such a critical subject like independence of Kurdistan and their positioning accordingly is just wrong. This important subject, cannot be degraded into family, clan or narrow group interest, cannot be trapped into this field. KDP and Mesud Barzani, must change its current position and attitude to secure the independence referendum and to prevent the pressure and threats of reactionary-colonialist regional states and must bring all parties, organizations and circles as equals of the process.

Without giving any credit to colonialist states' threats and imperialists' circumlocution manner and to this frail situation, our Kurdish people in the South, should use its most democratic right of self-determination, attend the referendum strongly and vote for 'yes'.

In today's juncture when regional and international balances are being re-modified, when our Kurdish people get the chance to decide its own fate in an organized way and according to its own interest, this historical opportunity must be handled correctly. What this period needs are the democratic featured Kurdish national congress' convening and there, discussing all the options embodied by self-determination right including independence and attributing this to all Kurdish people masses by constituting a national strategy.

In this regard, the efforts and perspectives in the conclusion declaration of National Unity Workshop happened in Süleymaniye, leaded by KNK is positive. However, other workshops or similar meetings henceforth, must be more inclusive, for instance, it must bring all other revolutionary democratic forces as parts of the process including Marxist Leninist Communists who are active in Bakur and Rojava parts of Kurdistan. This is one of the necessities to make Kurdish democratic front wide and powerful.

Currently, unless independence discussions going on with KDP leading are considered in the forms of strong democratic alliances with National Democratic Congress (KNK) and Kurdistani forces from all four parts, this plan, right from the beginning, is doomed to failure.

For Kurds from all parts to line up behind the demands like independence, federative state and autonomous democratic Kurdistan and to coalesce as a whole, this movement must be based on a common will. National Democratic Congress is one of the most important opportunities to realize this common will. Many circles except for KDP agree on this subject. Indeed, the last workshop in Süleymaniye has declared that once more. What is on the table is not only a discussion about independence achieved in just one part. Developments regarding the fate of all Kurds and especially our people in the South are happening. Thereby, appropriate to this, this matter must be attributed to our Southern people, its worker, laborer and poor; alongside other political parties and groups in the area, for other people living together to be able to join the process, democratic and free conditions must be created.

An 'independence' led by Barzani and KDP who completely tied its fate with Turkey and Tayyip Erdoğan dictatorship is not possible. If Barzani and KDP is really sided with an independent Kurdistan, they must end the relationships and collaborations with colonialists, must take the steps to run the parliamentary unconditionally and for people to join the process freely. They must first respond the national democratic congress' call and join the works, start acting to convene the congress.
