<p>[Transmitted via KYODO. Moscow INTERFAX in English 1937 GMT 1 Jun

</p>
<p> [Text] The Kurds of Western Azerbaijan have called for the
restoration of their autonomy, in which the "Kurds would be
masters of their future, their land and their conscience". The
appeal issued by a general conference of Kurdish communities of
the Lachin district and delegates from Kurdish communities of
the CIS was signed by the honorary chairman of the conference,
Vasiliy Mustafayev. "IF" [INTERFAX] has received a copy of that
document from an authoritative source in Yerevan.
</p>
<p> The appeal says that a "historic moment" has come and that
"we are on the threshold of the restoration of the Red
Kurdistan we have dreamed of and fought for so long". It should
be a "holy duty" of each Kurd to "defend one's home from the
Azeri aggressor", the statement says.
