We are celebrating the second anniversary of the United States of Kurdistan’s Government with the announcement of the submission to United Nations for the recognition of independency. Kurdistan has been occupied after having been divided between several barbaric nations such that ever since WWI, Kurdish people have been brutalised in their own homeland. Kurdistan’s freedom movements tried and struggled to their best ability, but could not succeed in liberating Kurdistan and thereby leading the Kurdish nation to freedom. I drew upon my own learning and life experience and then called upon experts to seek a solution to build a new political movement and lay down the guidelines for Kurdistan’s freedom; these are fundamentally that all Kurdistan has to be one, and that the political movements should become a government that must ensure the liberation of Kurdistan. Accordingly, we announced the USK’s government on 24 July 2018 in Lausanne in the same location and indeed, the very place, where Turkey was proclaimed an independent nation state but with this being based on its occupying the greatest land mass of Kurdish territory. We are celebrating the government of the USK’s 2nd anniversary by sharing the basis of our claim for independence with Kurdish people everywhere and the wider world. Sincerely, Hüseyin Baybaşin
