Iran destroys forests in Kurdistan
A PJAK commander says the Iranian government has burnt down as many as 4,682 hectares of forest in the Kurdish region.
Speaking to Rudaw website Sherzad Kamangar said the fires were in the forests located around the cities of Mariwan, Sewlawe, Kosalan, Kelatarzan and Chacheme.
There is an Iranian hand behind this, said Kamangar. To provide safety for its soldiers, Iran wants to destroy Kurdistans nature.
The statistics were released by an environmentalist organization last month.
The Iranian forces have continuously bombed the mountainous regions of Iraq in pursuit of the PJAK fighters whose main hideouts are there, but the Iraqi authorities have turned a blind eye to this issue.
