Turkey’s Kurds reject US-Israeli 'designs' in Iran as Netanyahu bets on uprising Submitted by Ragip Soylu on Tue, 03/03/2026 - 11:35 Israeli PM reportedly wants a Kurdish insurgency in Iran, but the Dem party has called out the war's 'imperialism' A man stands in front of the Dem party logo during the International Conference on Peace and Democratic Society in Istanbul, on 6 December 2025 (Yasin Akgul/AFP) Off Turkey's pro-Kurdish party on Sunday criticised the US-Israeli war on Iran, saying it opposed “external designs” on the country. “It is clear that global and regional powers are, as in other historical examples, seeking to establish a new order in Iran that would no longer pose a threat to themselves, rather than prioritizing democracy and freedoms,” the Peoples' Equality and Democracy (Dem) Party said in a statement. The party, which has the third-largest number of MPs in parliament, said the ongoing strikes do not serve the expectations of a new, free life for minorities in the country, including Kurds, Balochs, Christians and Azerbaijanis.
