2006 PLANS

Iraqi Youth Civil Dialogue: The Iraqi Youth Civil Dialogue project works in Iraq by the support of Iraqi Al-Amal Association, we have a meeting in Kurdistan in Iraq from 19 till 21 September 2006, to discuss Iraqi youth problems, issues, and their role in Iraq’s future. On September 21st we plan to celebrate Peace Day by having a memorial for Iraqi youth and students who lost their lives in terrorist attacks, and after that we will go and plant olive trees to declare a symbol for each Iraqi youth group in the meeting. We will name the tree after the group so we will grow peace as long these trees grow we also plan for young people to participate in the celebration in their own ways of expressing their need for peace.

Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK): Iraq-based Kurdish separatists from the PKK have offered a conditional ceasefire to Turkey. One of the group’s leaders said: "We are ready to observe a ceasefire and opt for a peaceful and democratic settlement to the Kurdish issues in Turkey. The offer has come in response to many requests by the government of Kurdish Iraq and the other Kurdish circles, and responding to the US State Department. There must be a political project so that we can start dialogue. We are ready for a ceasefire on 21 September coinciding with Peace Day". .
