Duration: 06:35Recorded: 24 March 2008Location:Van, Turkey
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.

Mdr neWroz une fête turque!
hahahahahahaha
les turcs s'auto interdisent leurs fêtes, c'est logique ^^
ils ont rêvé d'une assimilation mais dès que les kurdes l'acceptent en fêtant le "nouvel an turc" bah là ils s'énervent et le refusent si bien qu'ils tuent de fidels turcs qui n'ont fait que fêter le newroz turc...
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Who vote for this government?? Tell me..
They are not Turkish?

And sorry for my faults in english..

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.
