Melbourne's Kurdish community is calling on the Federal Police to finalise a 13-month investigation into possible links to the banned resistance group, the PKK.

The community denies any links to the organisation, and says the protracted investigation has damaged its reputation.

In August last year Federal Police raided Melbourne's Kurdish Association and other properties around the country occupied by Australian Kurds, seizing computers, cash, phones and books.

The investigation centred on allegations of financing a terrorist organisation.
