The working committee of the United States of Kurdistan Government in Exile has undertaken valuable research to assemble disparate information and compile a full picture as to future statehood. The committee held its first meeting at the Château d’Ouchy Hotel in Lausanne (Switzerland) on 24 July 2018. The meeting began with a minute’s silence in memory of those honorable Kurds who have given their lives in the struggle for an independent Kurdistan. The following statement was then given in Kurdish by the secretary of the Committee:
‘’Jibona bîranîna Kurden bi rumet ku jibona azadîya Kurdan û serxwebuna Kurdistanê canê xwe dane, em bi hurmet wan bi bîr tînin. Biranînên wa rîya me ronî dikê, em îro soz didin wan ku emê Yekîtîya Dewletên Kurdistan ava bikin.”
The committee primarily discussed the strategy and future of the Government in Exile of the United States of Kurdistan The Committee emphasised the importance of the request to the United Nations in order to recognize the United States of Kurdistan. All the committee members have agreed that this has to be done as quickly as possible.
In addition, the Committee broadly discussed those aggressions, attempted genocide, and crimes committed against the Kurdish nation by the occupiers on Kurdistan’s territory, in particular after 1923. The Government will take legal action through the relevant institutions and courts on an international level. The Government will use all the evidence in its possession and gather other potential evidence to support this action.
In tandem with this decision, the Committee also formed two government delegations:
(i) One of the delegations will carry out diplomatic work on behalf of the government with parties who can be allies and partners to support the United States of Kurdistan’s project.
(ii) The other delegation will maintain relations with all Kurdish political parties and movements to explain the aims and purpose of the Government in Exile.
The Committee has also decided that the government delegation must hold regular meetings in locations that the members will choose.
The members of the Government will decide in upcoming meetings about the general elections to be held in the territory of the United States of Kurdistan. Government members believe that 2021 will be an ideal timetable for the general election on the United States of Kurdistan’s territory and to achieve success for the United States of Kurdistan’s recognition by the anniversary of the Treaty of Lausanne in 2023.
The Committee respectfully thanks the Government of Switzerland for their hospitality, which will go down as part of history for the United States of Kurdistan.
The Committee appreciates, and harbours, the utmost respect for the support of friendly states, which the Committee is looking forward to working with in future cooperation between their respective officials.
The members of the Government also thanked those honorable individuals who sent messages for their support and congratulate the announcement of the United States of Kurdistan in Exile.
The Committee cannot sufficiently express its thanks enough to the management of Château d’Ouchy for their warm welcome, support, and estimable service throughout this historical meeting, so valuable to the Kurdish nation.
The Government is honored to work and serve the long suffering Kurdish nation. The members of the Government consider themselves most fortunate and blessed to undertake this duty. The Government respectfully thanks each and every Kurdish citizen for his or her valuable support and contribution, which made it possible to be here today.
With this said, the participants of the meeting have announced the government in exile of the United States of Kurdistan on July 24, 2018, at 15.00 pm in the very room of the Château d’Ouchy, Lausanne, where the dismemberment of Kurdistan was dictated in 1923.
