"PKK-inspired, women-dominated PEJAK and its relations with neighbors
'We may liken the Kurdish terrorist organizations to the multinational companies in the sense that they have branches in various countries. PEJAK is an example of that,' says a Turkish security official. According to an earlier security report by the Ankara Security Directorate, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has illegally been operating in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey under different names. There is the Turkey-based Democratic Liberation Party (PRD), the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PEJAK) in Iran, the Kurdistan Democratic Solution Party in Iraq and lastly there is the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syria, organized by the PKK to promote its political activities as well as give directions from one center."
