The most important festival in Kurdish tradition is Newroz. Newroz means 'New Sun' and 'New Day' and is celebrated during the spring equinox on March 21st. There are many explanations for the origins of Newroz with records of the spring festival found as early as 3000BC. The festival symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, the celebration of new life and freedom from oppression.

The Kurds in Wan, Hakkari and Siirt were not allowed to celebrate their Newroz at the weekend.

Kurds in those cities started to celebrate Newroz and they were harshly attacked by the Turkish security forces.

During the celebrations in Wan and Yüksekova, two of the Kurdish activists were shot dead by the Turkish police forces.

In all these incidents the police are more criminal than any of the people they are abusing. Pay attention America, this is what they are building up to in US. Beating old women with Billy clubs. What a bunch of Fags!!!!

Do not hate my friend there is one a love for money that is why things are done like it is today. Ones need to feel better that the others. But have no fear only the one who can kill your soul is the one you should fear. my life they might take but my soul only he may take. Ican only wish for peace all over the world.

Remember friend, the Turkish government and their aggressive policies are at fault here, not the Turkish people. There are many Turkish people who would like to live in peace with the Kurds.

This Fascism is an embarrassment to the United States and to the EU. I have forwarded this to my senator in hopes that some video may get them to consider how our "ally" behaves, if our own foreign policy were not shameful enough. A democracy awaits our support in the Middle East: KURDISTAN. With Hussein brought to justice, a lynch pin to arab imperialism is gone and there is no stopping Mesopotamian Kurdistan now. The Kurds of Iran, Syria, and Turkey must be given the right to self determination.

A loss of freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere! Denial of the rights of others denies our own rights...
