YEREVAN. – Not all Kurds want reconciliation with Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun member Giro Manoyan told reporters on Monday.

Manoyan, head of the Political Affairs Bureau and the Armenian Cause Office, commented on the statement of Bese Hozat, the co-chairman of the Kurdistan Communities Union.

“We cannot but comment on such statements as “creation of parallel states” in Turkey by Armenians and Greeks. We stand for Armenian-Kurdish relations and even for cooperation. But we must take into account that not all Kurds share this opinion,” Manoyan said. 

In an interview with the Kurdish Firat news agency, and speaking about the parallel state which Islamic opinion leader Fethullah Gulen’s movement has established in Turkey, Hozat had also reflected on the Armenians, Greeks, and Jews. She had noted that, aside from the official state, there also are parallel states in Turkey.
