PKK declares autonomous region in Turkey’s Dersim province
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has declared a democratic autonomous region in Dersim province of Turkey, and established checkpoints on the main road this week, Rudaw reports.
A video released by the PKK shows the group’s fighters controlling the road and searching vehicles.
“We as guerrillas, under the right of self-defense for ourselves and our nation, declare democratic autonomy in Dersim,” a fighter in the video said.
The PKK claimed that in Hakkari its fighters killed 32 Turkish security forces and lost five of their own. The Turkish government announced only one Turkish soldier was killed and several others wounded.
The Diyarbakir governor’s office announced a curfew starting from 1 am in response to the violence.
According to Turkish media reports, during a rally people in the mainly Kurdish Dogubeyazit district declared self-management.
"We declare our self-management," said Muhsin Kula, who claimed to be part of the new government. “Our villages and
cities have been turned into ruins. The latest Varto case is proof that humanity is dead.”
Varto is a town in eastern Turkey where a female PKK fighter was allegedly raped and killed before her naked body was dragged through the streets by Turkish security forces. The incident has outraged Kurds throughout the region.
“We will not recognize state institutions in this region. We hereby declared that we manage ourselves,” Kula said.

Political expert considers Armenian Army most successful state structure
14:16, 22 August, 2015
YEREVAN, AUGUST 22, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Army has been the most successful state structure since the Declaration of Independence.
Doctor of political sciences, Professor Levon Shirinyan expressed such an opinion during his meeting with the journalists August 22. “The Armed Forces of Armenia is exceptional as it was founded in the battlefield during the Artsakh liberation war which is an exceptional phenomena in the world.”, Armenpress reports, the political expert stated. He also noted that the people of Armenia were very enthusiastic on the day of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
“It was indeed a victorious day for all of us, as the society was absolutely positive about the declaration. Nowadays the historical decision made on August 23 is paid little attention to which is a wrong approach. That declaration later served as a basis for declaring the Armenian Independence.”, emphasized Shirinyan.
The citizens of the Soviet Armenia made a historical decision on August 23, 1990, choosing independence as the only possible status and undeviating path to the development of the country. The Declaration of Independence adopted by the Supreme Council of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic August 23, 1990 was not only the expression of the Armenian people’s dream of restoring their independent state but also an attempt to reunite Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenian Declaration of Independence is based on the December 1, 1989, joint decision of the Armenian SSR Supreme Council and the Artsakh National Council on the "Reunification of the Armenian SSR and the Mountainous Region of Karabakh".
