The Party for Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) is identified as the Iranian branch of the Turkish-origin Kurdish Movement Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The PJAK began its armed activities in 2004 in the Kurdish-populated regions of Iran and kept them up for seven years until August 2011.
Now there are interesting signs that the PKK could re-establish its armed presence in Iran’s Kurdistan region parallel to progress in the peace process between the Turkish government and mainstream PKK.
