Abstract

This article sheds light on recent political developments in Rojhelat (Eastern/Iranian Kurdistan), focusing on the activities of Rojhelat’s leading political parties. This study argues that the existing situation in the area is a product mainly of the shift in Rojhelat’s mainstream political organisation, the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, in its political and military approach to the Kurdish movement in Iran, popularly known as Rasan-i Rojhelat (the revival/sudden rise of Eastern Kurdistan). This has triggered a new, high level of conflict between Kurds and the Islamic Republic of Iran since 2015. Since the announcement of the Rasan, tit-for-tat clashes between Kurdish Peshmerga/guerrilla units and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) have been witnessed across Rojhelat. Analysis of the Kurdish question in Rojhelat reveals this development as multifaceted and complex, involving multiple actors and activities such as insurgency and collective protest from Kurdish civil society. This article focuses on two main developments: the methods and practices deployed by the Kurdish political parties of Rojhelat following the Rasan, and the sudden announcement of negotiations between representatives of the Iranian government and of four of Rojhelat’s political parties from 27-28 July 2019 in Oslo.

摘要

本文揭示了 Rojhelat（东部/伊朗库尔德斯坦）最近的政治发展，重点关注 Rojhelat 主要政党的活动。本研究认为，该地区的现有局势主要是 Rojhelat 的主流政治组织伊朗库尔德斯坦民主党转变其对伊朗库尔德运动（俗称 Rasan-i Rojhelat）的政治和军事态度的产物。 （东库尔德斯坦的复兴/突然崛起）。自 2015 年以来，这引发了库尔德人与伊朗伊斯兰共和国之间新的、高水平的冲突。 自 Rasan 宣布以来，库尔德自由斗士/游击队与伊斯兰革命卫队 (IRGC) 之间的针锋相对的冲突已经目睹了整个 Rojhelat。对 Rojhelat 库尔德问题的分析揭示了这一发展是多方面的和复杂的，涉及多个参与者和活动，例如叛乱和库尔德民间社会的集体抗议。本文重点关注两个主要事态发展：拉桑事件后罗杰拉特的库尔德政党采用的方法和做法，以及伊朗政府代表与罗杰拉特的四个政党的代表于 2019 年 7 月 27 日至 28 日突然宣布谈判。奥斯陆。
