The right to self-determination is absolute: it is not a dirty word.

Baluch is a nation united by shared memory, language, and culture. Baluchistan was a sovereign State.

The Baluch are inspired to regain their freedom as a nation and pursue their happiness.

The Baluch, like the Kurds, had been divided into three states by the colonial powers.

Baluch played no part in the division of Baluchistan; it is the legacy of the Baluch neighbours and colonial greed.

Regime change is the number priority for all Iranian but for the Baluch to live in peace and security in their land after regime change demands answers.

We are for the regime change.

 

We are also demanding that all Iranian should recognise the Baluch, Kurds, Arabs, Truk, Turkmen, Gailani, and Mazendrani's right to self-determination as a legitimate right and must be respected.

 

Some groups in the campaign for regime change are trying to turn self-determination into a dirty word; The right to self-determination is absolute: it is not a dirty word. 

 

The Baluch struggle has always been for the right of self-determination.

We believe in individual and group autonomy.

 

And Individual self-determination and group self-determination are the principles we hold close to our hearts.

 

The right to self-determination is a guiding principle; it is not a luxury but a necessity.

The Baluch recognises the right to self-determination for all nations: Demands that the Baluch rights be respected.
