People's Congress of Kurdistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The People's Congress of Kurdistan (Kurdish name Kongra-Gel, short form of Kongra Gelê Kurdistan) describes its aims as the solving of the Kurdish question through democratization of the Middle East, the creation of a Middle East Federation and the transformation of Middle Eastern society into a democratic-ecologic society.
The Congress was founded in November 2003. Its first president was the former Member of Turkish parliament, Zübeyir Aydar. Abdullah Öcalan, former head of the PKK, had proposed the fusion of KADEK, successor organisation to the PKK, with the Kurdish National Kongress (KNK).
