The press indicated that terrorist organization, Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) which has killed five thousand civilians regardless of ethnic identity, gender, and age, kidnapped children, in addition to Europe, in Northern Iraq, to recruit them.

Kurdish families, who made a declaration in the Suleimania town of Northern Iraq, have said: "the children of hundreds of Kurdish families in Northern Iraq were kidnapped by the PKK.

These children were sent to the fighting zone and to the special camps regardless of their sex and age. We call for help from the international community and human rights organizations. The help you would offer us would help our children who lack their parents’ love and affection. At the same time that help would relieve our pain".

We hope international community will be sensitive on the kidnapping affairs in Northern Iraq as they were for the abduction of  17 Kurdish children in Varmland, Sweden.

Let us not become silent on the kidnapping of the children of Kurdish families in Sweden, Germany, Belgium and Northern Iraq by the PKK.

Let’s know the fate of those children kidnapped by the PKK. Let us not watch inactively our future, the children to be consumed in terror. PKK is a terrorist organization that threatens not only the Middle East peace but also the order of European countries. To stay silent on such actions will only serve the interests of terrorism and terrorists.

Turkish Mothers Association, which defends democracy, human rights and the rule of law and suffers from terrorist pain, denounces the kidnapping activity of the PKK in Europe and Northern Iraq and calls for the immediate return of the children to their families.
