We ask that:

1) There is an immediate end to the Turkish and Iranian bombings.

2) All armed groups and foreign militaries withdraw from village areas.

3) Parliamentarians raise the bombing issue within sessions of the Iraqi and KRG Parliaments.

4) Deaths and civilian losses are investigated, and compensation is granted to affected families.

5) Those killed due to bombings are recognized as martyrs and the correct cause-of-death is listed on death certificates.

6) Iraqi and KRG government officials meet with those affected to discuss this issue and develop pathways for the future.

Family members of those killed in Turkish and Iranian cross-border bombings invite you to partner with them in ending the violence:

For over 30 years, the governments of Turkey and, more recently, Iran have engaged in cross-border bombing campaigns within Iraqi Kurdistan. Decades of military violence have killed and injured many civilians, devastated agriculture, and displaced families from their homeland. Families living in the border areas of Iraqi Kurdistan are forced to live in fear, as they experience Turkey and Iran’s ongoing military aggression.  

We call for an immediate end to the Turkish and Iranian bombings within Iraqi Kurdistan. We ask the government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to partner with civilians affected by these bombings in finding a pathway for peace. We call on government officials to establish a system that acknowledges the violence families have suffered, and guarantees compensation and funding for medical treatment for those who are traumatized by cross-border bombings.
