The Kurdish revolution in Syria

August 12, 2012 - Kafa Safra, Efrin, Syria: Barakat Gadalum, father of a dead Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) fighter, poses with his son's portrait. Around five thousand Syrian Kurdish attended the funeral and ceremony of martyrdom of Taliz Gadalum, killed days earlier during combat against the Turkish army...PKK has been fighting an armed struggle against the Turkish state for an autonomous Kurdistan and greater cultural and political rights for the Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Founded on 27 November 1978 in the village of Fis, was led by Abdullah Öcalan. The PKK's ideology was originally a fusion of revolutionary socialism and Kurdish nationalism - although since his imprisonment, Öcalan has abandoned orthodox Marxism. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, the European Union and NATO. (Paulo Nunes dos Santos)
