is it still common to see kurdish people with tattoos these days?
If you mean the traditional tattoos (deq), not really. A lot of the older women have them, but not the younger generation. I want them to make a come back though!!!
Lindsay Lohan talking about her refugee work in Turkey and meeting with President Erdogan (x)
can this white pasty piece of shit stfu, erdogan hasn’t helped anybody and kurds and alevis and other people are sufferin bc of him but ok this white goblin will ofc know whats up
erdogan built an entire border wall on the turkish-syrian border in order to prevent kurdish refugees from coming in, and kurdish armed groups from going in and out. they shot at refugees trying to cross the border and water cannoned them
who’s ready for the age-old bozkurt, tork antic where all of us kurds and other ethnic/political dissidents disappear for months and then some kid finds us hundreds of miles down the Euphrates river in a bag with a cord around our neck and burn marks all across our body with dried blood on our private parts because they raped us to death 😂😂✊️💯💯💯‼️👀❤️😂 #turkeyreferendum
hbhxbsksk a turk told me once that he hopes i get raped bc im half kurdish and alevi :’) he was ofc an erdogan supporter :’)))

one of the kurds who was stabbed was a kurdish mother who lost two sons in war back in turkey. one of the kurds stabbed was an elderly woman who was stabbed in the THROAT by pro-AKP t*rkish fascists who hid within the turkish embassy in order to escape consequences.
I will reblog this until the end of time

“I was given two years and 10 months only because I painted Turkish flags on destroyed buildings. However, (the Turkish government) caused this. I only painted it.”
Zehra Dogan, Kurd from Diyarbakir (Northern Kurdistan) was given the sentence by the Second High Criminal Court of the Mardin province after having been arrested last July.
The painting in question shows the destroyed cityscape of Nusaybin, with Turkish flags draped across blown-out buildings.
A group of young men hopes to put Iraqi Kurdistan on the fashion map - and effect social change.
And their Insta is dooooope.

I look so brown🌹🌹🌹
No offense, but why do the Kurds actually want a country? I know they suffered persecution but from what I understand Kurds are predominantly nomads? If this is the case then by their very nature they don't have countries? Right? It's like if Bedouin Arabs wanted a country. It makes no sense because of their nomadic lifestyle.
kurds have historical rights to this country. kurds exist for thousands of years. roughly speaking, they have always inhabited the same area before these years. kurds were also promised an independent kurdistan. besides that, they deserve a country in which their culture, their language and their people can live freely - without all the oppression and fear they have to experience every day.
march 21, 1992; later known as bloody newroz (x)
to celebrate newroz was forbidden in turkey. even today the turkish state forbids to celebrate newroz from time to time. in 1992 tens of thousands of kurds took to the streets to celebrate newroz and clashed with the military. in several towns the demonstrators were bombed by airraids. at least 102 civilians were killed by the turkish security forces. also numerous journalists were killed as the military set fire to them. over 200 people were injured and over 2,000 were arrested.
“Newroz in Cizre, (Northern Kurdistan) 1992”
Every year on March 21st, the Kurdish people celebrate Newroz. In the Kurdish language, Newroz means “New Day”, by which Kurds mean the first day of spring. The Kurdish calendar begins on this day. Newroz, therefore, is the new day, the first day of the New Year. The Kurdish nation has been celebrating Newroz since the time of ancient history.
It is claimed that this tradition dates back to the myth of Kawa the Blacksmith. On March 21st in the year 612 B.C., Kawa killed the Assyrian tyrant Dehak and liberated the Kurds and many other peoples in the Middle East. Dehak was an evil king who represented cruelty, abuse, and enslavement of peoples. People used to pray every day for God to help them to get rid of Dehak.
On Newroz day, Kawa led a popular uprising and surrounded Dehak’s palace. Kawa then rushed passed the king’s guards and grabbed Dehak by the neck. Kawa then struck the evil tyrant on the head with a hammer and dragged him off his throne. With this heroic deed, Kawa set the people free and proclaimed freedom throughout the land.
A huge fire was lit on the mountaintops to send a message: firstly to thank God for helping them having defeated Dehak, and secondly to the people to tell them they were free. This is where the tradition of the Newroz fire originates. Today, Newroz is not just a day for remembering, it is also a day for the protest and resistance against the oppression which the Kurdish people continue to suffer from.
The Kurdish people need a voice in international affairs. Let us light the fire of justice and peace! Now is the time for all people to show their solidarity and support the national struggle for freedom in Kurdistan. This struggle is not just for Kurdistan; it is for all humanity.
Every year on 21st March in all parts, hamlets, villages, towns, cities of Kurdistan as well as by Kurds living in the Diasporas, they gather to show their unity, joy as well as cry out their need for freedom and democracy. The largest gathering is the North-Kurdistani city of Amed (Diyarbakir) where over a million people celebrate Newroz each year.
