a poem for my people and for my country Kurdistan

Who am I you ask?

The Kurd of Kurdistan I am

In the face of enemy

Fire and dynamite

When furious

Like a volcano

I shake the mountains

The sparks of my fury

Are death to the foe.

Who am I? !

I am in the east

With forts and castles

Towns and hamlets

Rocks and boulders

I saved the Middle East

From invading Turks

And the crusaders.

Who am I? !

Ask the Near East

Ask the Middle East

Villages and towns

Plains and deserts

They were once all mine

When by war and knowledge

I defeated rivals

To become crowned

Over an empire

That reached India.

Who am I? !

I am the proud Kurd

Of a noble race

The enemy's enemy

To the peaceful friend

Like my mighty ancestors

I want to be free

Not forever oppressed

By this enemy

Who won't leave in peace.

Who am I? !

I want to liberate

My parks and meadows

From the tyrants

From the corrupt Shah

The Turkish juntas

So I may live free

In my own homeland

Like other nations

So I can rebuild

And contribute

To the good of mankind.

Who am I? !

The one who defeated

Richard the Lion Heart

My own blood I shed

To defend these lands

A thorn I once was

In the enemy' side

In my shadow lived

Turk and Persian

Many a king held

The halter of my horse

Yes I am the warrior

I am Barzani

The Kurdish King.

Who am I? !

I am Ardasher

I am Noshi Rawan

In the ancient days

Rivals feared my kings

Regretted their wrath.

I knew no fright

With adventure in love

From India to Greece

They paid me tribute.

Who am I? !

The Kurd of Kurdistan I am

Now poor and oppressed

My castles and forts

Remain demolished

My name and my fame

Swindled by assailants

Who set germs to my body

To paralyse my being

And make my nation

Nameless with no friend.

Who am I? !

The unyielding Kurd

Who despite it all

Still formidable

To his enemies.

The smell of dynamite

Is again in my nose

The desire to erupt

Is lively in my heart

I am the fighting valiant

In my majestic mountains

Not for the love of death

But to live free

In my Kurdistan

The land of the Medes

My proud ancestors.

Who am I? !

I am the descendant

Of Blacksmith Kawa

Who slayed Dahak

The notorious tyrant

To break off chains

From Kurdish shoulders

And save many heads

From his death list

With his death ended

The long vicious reign

And Newroz was born

To mark a new day

Replacing darkness

By the bright sun

Offered by Ahirman

God of wisdom and light

Who defeats Ormazd

The cruel evil god

As revealed long ago

By Zoroastra.

Who am I? !

The maker of Newroz

Seeking my destiny

To rule my own land

Enjoy my orchards

Relish the sacred wines

Of my own vineyards

I shall pursue knowledge

To again break the chains

So I can breath

The wind of liberty

Who am I? !

Khaldaw and Mitan

Nayri and Sobar

The son of Lo Lo

Kardokh and Kodi

I belong to the Medes

Hori and Gudi

Kurmanj and the Gosh

Kelhor, Lor and Gor.

Despite oppression

And the division

I am on my land

Kurdish to remain.

Who am I?

The daughter of the Lor

Kurmanj and Kelhor

Who lost crown and reign

When in the name of religion

They were once betrayed

To became powerless

Rosaries in hands

Duped by the rulers

Deprived of their wealth

Fighting each other

Divided and torn

In the oppressed land

My wretched Kurdistan.

Who am I?

The child of a nation

Awaken from deep sleep

To march once again

As a proud lion

To let the world know

My struggle will go on

In the path to freedom.

I shall learn from great men

of every era

I shall make a vow

To my ancestors

Salar and Sherko

As well as Daysam

That this will of mine

will remain alive.

Let everyone know

I announce with no fear

Liberty is my goal

I shall never give up.

Who am I?

I desire peace

Not to shed blood

But I have enemies

Who deny my rights

I stretch my hands

They betray and lie.

My friendship I offer

To all the nations

Death to oppressors

Long live Kurdistan

“If Turkey is not able to solve the Kurdish problem, it cannot be the star of the region.

http://www.kurdmedia.com/article.aspx?id=16731

soon it will be elections in Turkey and this article interested me very much because it is so racist at the end.

‎"""If Turkey is not able to solve this problem, it cannot be the star of the region. She will always be a limping giant. But you cannot give up on everything. This is a bargain ship. The Kurds are right to ask for some rights, but from time to time, they go overboard; they ask for even more than the moon"""
Mehmet Ali Birand is a writer, political analyst and one of Turkey’s most prominent journalists and television commentators. He is the author of eight books on Turkish domestic and international policies, including “Relations with the EU since 1963”, “Structure of the Turkish Army”, “The 12 September Military Coup”, “The Kurdish Problem” and “The 1974 Cyprus Intervention and Turkish-Greek Relations”. His books have been translated into English, German and Greek.

I'm very shocked that such a big man with so good knowledge saysthis. does he really believe it is the moon and the sun Kurds want?  
I think it is time for  Turkey to recognize the genocide of Armenians and Kurds and then talk about Eu.

Turkish PM slams Kurdish party for rebels ties

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey's prime minister accused the country's leading pro-Kurdish party on Thursday of serving as a "spokesman" for an outlawed Kurdish rebel group that is fighting for autonomy.
The accusation raised concerns that it could lead to more rebel violence because it came soon after the insurgents ended a unilateral cease-fire.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the Peace and Democracy Party, following demands from the party to move imprisoned Kurdish rebel chief Abdullah Ocalan from a prison island to house arrest and end the prosecution of dozens of Kurdish mayors on charges of separatism. The government has refused.
"We see a political party leaving politics and democratic ground, being a spokesman for the terrorist organization," Erdogan said. He said the rebel group and its affiliates were trying to provoke residents of the country's Kurdish-dominated southeast ahead of the June election in hope of winning more votes.
Bengi Yildiz, a Kurdish lawmaker from the Peace and Democracy Party, reacted angrily, saying Erdogan's comments were "unacceptable." Yildiz accused Erdogan of using his political clout to have thousands of Kurds arrested or prosecuted for alleged links to the rebels and said the government was ignoring the demands of tens of thousands of people.

Ocalan's Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, ended a unilateral cease-fire Monday, saying the government had not responded to its demands.
The rebels said they would defend themselves "more effectively" and refrain from attacks, but the Kurdish party warned that tensions are running high in the Kurdish-dominated southeast. The fighting usually picks up in spring when snow melts on rugged mountains and allows rebels to sneak into Turkey from their bases in northern Iraq more easily.
"The region is like a powder keg," the MansetHaber website quoted Selahattin Demirtas, co-chairman of the Peace and Democracy Party, as saying Wednesday. "It is about to explode."

The PKK rebels — who are considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union — took up arms in 1984 to seek an independent Kurdish state. It has since changed demands and says it is fighting for an autonomy within Turkey.
Ocalan is serving a life sentence on the prison island of Imrali. He was captured in Kenya in 1999, and a Turkish court sentenced him to death, which was later commuted to life in prison.
While Turks consider Ocalan responsible for nearly 40,000 deaths since the conflict began, he is still revered by Kurdish supporters, who often brave clashes with police for carrying his posters or shouting his name, which is illegal in Turkey.

"There is need to move Mr. Ocalan into a house like (Nelson) Mandela and facilitate dialogue with him for a solution," Yildiz told HaberTurk.
The government has taken several steps to improve the rights of Kurds, including allowing a Kurdish-language television broadcast, but Kurdish politicians insist on broader rights such as education in Kurdish. Turkey opposes this out of fear that it could divide the country along ethnic lines. Kurds make up nearly 20 percent of the country's 74 million people.

Kurdish history

                                                    kurdish ( Peshmargah )

                                              the kurdish city ( Hawler )

The Kurds have lived in a mountainous, roughly 74,000-square-mile region known as Kurdistan for the past two millennial.
Throughout their history they have remained under the thumb of various conquerors and nations.
Since the early 20th century, the region has been divided between Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, all of which have repressed, often brutally, their Kurdish minority.

The Kurds, who number 45-50 million, are the largest ethnic group in the world without their own nation.
Kurds history is very famous in the world today.

kurdish history

The Kurds are an Iranian-speaking ethnolinguistic group who have historically inhabited the mountainous areas to the south of Caucasus (Zagros and Taurus mountain ranges), a geographical area collectively referred to as Kurdistan. There are various hypotheses as to predecessor populations of the Kurds, such as the Carduchoi of Classical Antiquity. The earliest known Kurdish dynasties under Islamic rule (10th to 12th centuries) are the Hasanwayhids, the Marwanids, the Shaddadids, followed by the Ayyubid dynasty founded by Saladin. The Battle of Chaldiran of 1514 is an important turning point in Kurdish history, marking the alliance of Kurds with the Ottomans. The Sharafnameh of 1597 is the first account of Kurdish history. Kurdish history in the 20th century is marked by a rising sense of Kurdish nationhood focussed on the goal of an independent Kurdistan as scheduled by the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. Partial autonomy was reached by Kurdistan Uyezd (1923–1926) and by Iraqi Kurdistan (since 1991), while notably in Turkish Kurdistan, an armed conflict between the PKK and Turkish forces was ongoing 1984 to 1999, and the region continues to be unstable with renewed flaring up of violence in the 2000s.
