TheDemocratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI;Kurdish:حیزبی دێموکراتی کوردستانی ئێران,romanized: Hizbi Dêmukrati Kurdıstani Êran, HDKA;Persian:حزب دموکرات کردستان ایران,romanized: Ḥezb-e Demokrāt-e Kordestān-e Īrān), also known as theKurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), is an armed leftistseparatist movement ofKurds, exiled in northernIraq with branch offices in Europe.[26] It is banned in Iran and thus not able to operate openly.[27] The group calls for eitherseparatism in Iran or afederal system.[28][29][16]

Since 1979, KDPI has waged a persistent guerrilla war againstIran.[26] This included the1979–1989 Kurdish insurgency, its1989–1996 insurgency andrecent clashes in 2016.Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials have called the party aterrorist organization.[30] Hyeran Jo ofTexas A&M University classifies KDPI as "compliant rebels", i.e. rebels that kill fewer than 100 and refrain from killing for more than half of their operating years. According to Jo, in order to gain domestic and international legitimacy, the KDPI denounces violence against civilians, claiming commitment to theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights andGeneva Convention Article 3, and as of 2007 is one of the signatories to theGeneva Call's ban on anti-personnel mines.[31]

History

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Qazi Mihemed founded the PDKI inMahabad,Iran, on 16 August 1945.[32] On 22 January 1946, Qazi Mihemed declared a KurdishRepublic of Kurdistan, of which he formally became president. The Republic lasted less than a year: after theUSSR retreated from the area, the Imperial Iranian army underMohammad Reza Pahlavi first reclaimedIranian Azerbaijan, followed by Mahabad on 15 December 1946.[33] After the fall of the Republic, many of the PDKI leaders were arrested and executed, effectively ending the party.[34]

Against Unification of Iran

[edit]

The PDKI cooperated with theTudeh party and saw a short revival under the anti-Shah administration ofMohammad Mosaddegh (1951–53), but this ended after ShahMohammad Reza Pahlavi took full control again in the1953 Iranian coup d'état. In 1958, the PDKI was on the verge of unifying with the IraqiKurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), but was then dismantled by theSAVAK secret police. The remains of the PDKI continued to support the KDP, but this changed as the Shah started aiding the KDP, which fought against the Iraqi regime that had overthrown the royalHashemite dynasty. In return for the Shah's aid, the KDP decreased its support for the PDKI.[35]

The PDKI reorganised itself, marginalising its pro-KDP leader Abdullah Ishaqi (also known as Ehmed Tewfiq), adding new Communist and nationalist members, and forming the Revolutionary Committee to continue the struggle against the Iranian regime. The Committee began an unsuccessfulrevolution in March 1967, ending after 18 months.[32][34][35]

After reforms by a new leader,Abdurreman Qasımlo, the PDKI fought alongside Islamic and Marxist movements against the Shah, culminating in the 1979Iranian Revolution.[36][35]Khomeini's new Islamic Republic, however, refused the Kurdish demands, suppressing the PDKI and other Kurdish parties. The PDKI continued its activities in exile, hoping to achieve "Kurdish national rights within a Democratic Federal Republic of Iran".[34]

Against the Islamic Republic

[edit]

In January 1981, Iraq supported the party in the Iranian cities ofNowdesheh andQasr-e Shirin and provided weapons supplies to the PKDI.[37] This move was made so as the party stops Tehran from using the Tehran-Baghdad highway. The PKDI hoped as well to establish a level of autonomy in the area. However, the Iranian forces staged a series of debilitating attacks against the KDPI, leaving them a "marginal military factor during much of theIran–Iraq War".[37]

In 1997, the party's call for abstaining thepresidential election remained largely ignored by Kurdish citizens in Iran and amid a high turnout inKurdistan Province, a large number voted forMohammad Khatami.[38]

In 2016, the organization announced it was reviving its armed struggle following death of Farinaz Khosravani and subsequentMahabad riots.[39]

Mykonos restaurant assassinations

[edit]

Sadıq Şerefqendi's murder became an international incident between Germany and Iran. On 17 September 1992, PDKI leaders Sadegh Sharafkandi, Fettah Abduli, Humayûn Erdelan and their translator Nûri Dêkurdi were assassinated at theMykonos Greek restaurant inBerlin,Germany.[40] In the Mykonos trial, the courts foundKazem Darabi, anIranian national who worked as a grocer in Berlin, andLebanese Abbas Rhayel, guilty of murder and sentenced them to life in prison. Two other Lebanese, Youssef Amin and Mohamed Atris, were convicted of being accessories to murder. In its 10 April 1997 ruling, the court issued an international arrest warrant for Iranian intelligence minister Hojjat al-IslamAli Fallahian[41] after declaring that the assassination had been ordered by him with knowledge of Grand AyatollahAli Khamenei and PresidentAyatollah Rafsanjani.[42]

Vienna assassination

[edit]

On 13 July 1989, the then PDKI leader Abdurreman Qasımlo arrived in Vienna with his delegation to have talks with Iranian diplomats regarding the terms of reconciliation between the central government in Tehran and the Kurds. Those were not the only talks with Iran held in Vienna. After they entered the conference hall and the talks started, the Iranian "diplomats" took out automatic weapons and murdered all of the members of the Kurdish delegation, including Abdurrahman Qasımlo.[43]

After the attacks on the school Iranian military helicopters were flying around the area and threw down triangle spikes which made it hard for cars to drive between the school, Azadi Settlement, Amiriya Settlement andDemocrat Castle. Thereafter on September 28 the U.S that also had shot down a Qods - Mohajer-6 drone with a F-15 after it posed a threat to U.S. forces in the area. Some similar incidents continued in the coming days, and casualties had increased to 18 deaths and 62 injuries on October 4. On November 14, Iranian airstrikes on theDemocrat Castle operating inIraqi Kurdistan continued, killing at least two people and injuring 10 other KDPI members.
