\nThe youth and teenagers in Iran\u2019s Kurdish-inhabited regions, just like those in other parts of the country, have in recent years reached a deep awareness of their true history. With access to credible historical documents and evidence, the repetitive monologues of separatist groups \u2014 which resemble the propaganda of the Islamic Republic \u2014 no longer have any place in their minds or hearts. The lies that have been told for decades to distort reality are now exposed by clear and evident documents. These young people have realized that attempts to impose foreign symbols \u2014 such as the keffiyeh of Palestinian terrorists \u2014 onto Kurdish clothing and culture, or to construct national heroes out of figures like Ismail Agha Simko (Simko Shikak) \u2014 who is historically known as a bandit and the instigator of bloody uprisings and ethnic massacres (including against Assyrians) \u2014 are not only incompatible with authentic Kurdish identity, but are part of a project of distortion and separatism. These groups have failed in the battle of awareness; because the new generation of Iranian Kurds, instead of tribal and ideological myth-making, seeks justice, equality, and progress within the framework of a united Iran.
\nPatriotic Kurds who support Prince Reza Pahlavi<\/strong> believe that the salvation of Iran lies in four fundamental principles:
\n1. Preserving the territorial integrity of Iran as a non-negotiable red line.
\n2. Complete separation of religion from the state and the establishment of genuine secularism.
\n3. Equality of all Iranian citizens \u2014 regardless of language, ethnicity, or religion \u2014 before the law, and the guarantee of individual and social freedoms.
\n4. The right of the people to determine the future political system through a constitutional referendum and the formation of a Constituent Assembly, with the aim of achieving national unity during the transitional period.
\nWe have come to understand that the tribal and clan-based structures dominant in some parts of Kurdistan have destroyed human rights. Key financial and economic resources are concentrated in the hands of a limited number of tribal leaders, women\u2019s rights are violated, and disputes are resolved with weapons. This is precisely what the separatist parties rely on: preserving tribal power at the cost of the people\u2019s poverty and backwardness.
\nOnly a secular, democratic, and united Iran can guarantee justice, prosperity, and equal rights for all ethnic groups \u2014 from Kurds and Persians to Baluchis and Turks. The disintegration of Iran will not liberate Kurdistan; rather, it will plunge it deeper into tribal despotism and greater foreign interference. Patriotic Kurds shout: May Iran remain united, so that Kurds and all Iranians can live free and equal. Prince Reza Pahlavi is the symbol of this unity; and we, like all Iranians, stand beside him in the struggle for a prosperous, free, and united Iran.<\/p>\n
