ŞIRNAK - An embargo is imposed on thousands of Kurds settled in Maxmur Camp between 1993- 1995 as a result of their villages being evacuated. Polat Bozan from the camp's Foreign Relations Committee satated that the camp is being liquidated by Turkey with the help of KDP. 

The Maxmur Camp,  which is located in the city of Hewlêr (Erbil), the capital of the Iraqi Federated Kurdistan Region, which is connected to the Mosul province, is once again targeted recently. The camp an embargo was imposed as a result of an armed attack against 3 people working for the Turkish Consulate in Hewlér on July 17, 2019 was closed to entry and exit is now back on the agenda with the words of AKP Chair Tayyip Erdoğan stating 'Maxmur Camp have long been a camp for terrorists'.
 
 
Polat Bozan who stated that they have taken initiatives to eliminate the embargo and shared the following information about the negotiations: "The interlocutors closed the path of dialogue as they closed the road. We had meetings with other national and international human rights institutions, all of which came together at a common point that the embargo was unlawful, and the Human Rights Observatory published a report criticizing the local government on this issue, but we have yet to reach an end to the lifting of the embargo.  Hewlêr Governorate and KDP officials asked us to leave the camp administration to them. They wanted to argue about how. However, we said that this would not be possible. Because the demand is a demand in the form of the distribution of the existing position. When we discussed the issue with the Iraqi government, we were told that such a request would not be valid. We see that this approach is imposed by Turkey's government to the local government.
 
ALLIANCE AGAINST AMBARGO
 
Finally, Bozan said that they did not think that the embargo would be lifted in a short time and made a call, stating: ""If an alliance develops between Kurds or if there is a positive approach among the political forces, it will affect us as well. If the national alliance develops in Kurdistan region, the embargo can be lifted. The Kurdish people should make a sound against all these unlawfulness. Kurdistani institutions and organizations also need to apply pressure to bring the KDP to the national line. Adopt the report published by the Human Rights Observatory. The UN also needs to act."
