Kurdish declared official language of Kirkuk

Turkish Daily News


ANKARA – February 25, 2005

The Kurdish governor of Kirkuk has issued a circular declaring Kurdish the official language in the disputed oil-rich city in northern Iraq, said a news report yesterday.

Kirkuk Governor Abdurrahman Mustafa's order came as Osman Korutürk, Turkey's special envoy to Iraq, was visiting northern Iraq for talks with Jalal Talabani, leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

The decision may lead to tension among the city's ethnically diverse population. The circular makes Kurdish the official language not only in Kirkuk city but also in all districts, some of which are populated exclusively by non-Kurdish communities such as the Turkmen, reported the private Mak Ajans.

Kurds claim ownership of Kirkuk, the control of which is disputed among Kurds, Turkmens and Arabs, and a win in the Jan. 30 local elections in the city added strength to their claim. Kurds won more than half of the vote in the local polls and say this has proven the �Kurdish identity� of the city. They also insist on the control of the strategic city in order to agree to any deal on the formation of a new Iraqi government.

Turkey, on the other hand, is worried about the rights of Turkmens in the city and says Kirkuk should not be ruled by any ethnic group. Ankara complained of massive Kurdish migration to the city before the polls.

Abdurrahman became the city's governor after the U.S.-led war on Iraq, and fresh elections for a new governor in the post-election era have not yet been held.
