The "Kurdistan" would Be The west-southern area of Asia, is it? Anyway, I feel your items to Some of my colleagues, and Some interesting Responded icts, order in Chinese only . " With a very great joy I would answer you as president of the Center for Scientific Research in Kurdistan (CRSK) and co-organizer of the Project for the Foundation of the Academy of Sciences of the Kurdistan on scientific structures Universities and academic life and the Academy of Technology and Information, founded by the Prime Minister of Kurdistan Regional Government Mr. Nechirvan Idris Barzani September 10, 2009 at the Capital Hewler South Kurdistan. Let me tell you about the historical, geographical, linguistic strategic policy of "Kurdistan" found in the west-south Asia in Mesopotamia in the Middle East. This means that Kurdistan is an international colony divided and shared by states and colonial impéarialistes Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria . I am very happy that you send my articles to scientific academicians of the Academy of Sciences of China who allows you ed interacadémiques develop our relations and the contribution of scientific académicines and the Academy of Science of China in the construction of scientific life in Kurdistan especially in southern Kurdistan. To my familiarized history the department of the Academy of Sciences of China had written four books on ED volumes Kurdistan 1 Indeed, the Kurdish aspirations for independence have their roots deep in the origins and social structure of this people and are the result of a long historical evolution. The Kurds are one of the oldest populations of Asia Minor. According to a thesis, that of Professor N. Marr, a member of the Academy of Sciences of the U. R. S. S., they would be related to the Asiatic tribes whose remnants are now in the Caucasus and have experienced rapid development to the sixth and seventh centuries BCE, when they rivaled the Assyrian power. If one accepts this thesis, we must at the same time assume that the Kurds of today no longer speak the same language as their ancestors. This is the case of my mother tongue Kirmançki we talking about now in Dersim the department where the people in my family has lived VI.ème century BC according to Herodotus. Indeed ) which oi Καρδουχ oi (we are descendants of Kardoukhoï speaks to us in Anabasis by the Greek historian Xenophon, or their name, its form of Kirmançki reflects, as he thinks Professor Minorsky, the ethnic mix of Cyrtioï with the Medes (Manda,), we need to remember is in; any event, an indisputable antiquity of the Kurdish people. In 1937 the Kemalist government turkish has destroyed 170 .000 Kurds the Dersim by a physical génoncide including 302 people in my family including 52 children were the bodies are burned by the Turkish army . Because of my political activities in support of the Kurdish people I was arrested by the military dictatorship in 1973 and imprisoned and then my wife Sevgi Kilic ed philosophy professor is arrested by the military dictator's fascist dictatorship Kenan Evren is've become cancerous and then died so I'm in exile for 33 years I think our language is part of the language of the Medes that on which I'm searching for language. Let me send you one of my studies in this language domain in nuclear astrophysics "The Mystery of Milky Way" But our going very far. Before interpreting our history préfaire I insist on our history and our scientific scientific structures that interest you. I think 5000 years ago on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia a science of the stars was born. This beautiful imagination of man has obtained remarkable success. It is rooted in the historical memory of peoples,with which we began to reflect on the creation of the universe, on the nature of man and the world, as well as human knowledge Throughout the history of science, many theories have followed about the sky and the physical world: Man tried to understand how the universe works. A theory of the materiality of the universe and the natural birth of all that exists from a single substance has been developed by philosophers in this region. Throughout the history of mankind reorganization scientific knowledge has been the concern of scholars and scientists. It was in ancient Greece as the first Academy was founded by philosophers. Mesopotamia was the birthplace of 2 the development of science, culture and civilizations of different peoples. But Mesopotamia and Kurdistan do not have an Academy of Sciences of Kurdistan and a Centre for Scientific Research in Kurdistan while these days more 55 academies of sciences contribute to the development of the organization of Science and Technology in the world. KURDISTAN Centre for Scientific Research in Kurdistan (CRSK) was founded in France in June 2010 for two purposes: I-his first goal for the scientific and technical research and the scientific and academic cooperation between universities of France and those of Kurdistan between the Academy of Technology, France and the Kurdistan 3 Gathering of scholars, scientists, intellectuals, writers abroad and joined the French and European scholars and those departments of Kurdistan. Encourage the scientific, publishing scientific works, academic, technical, literary, linguistic, academic disseminate science to the public, protect the environment against the dams maintain vigilance with a reflection on the place in the world through research on the history and the environment Achieve by establishing with the scientific structures of relationships that can lead to common structures, cooperation agreements and exchange of scientists, by organizing conferences or writing joint report of scientific and technical cooperation between Universities of South and North Kurdistan with French universities, the CNRS, INRA scientists defend victims of human rights. Ensure, in its archives, the retention of documents contributing to the knowledge of the history of science and the progress of scientific thought. 2 - The second objective concerns the Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms 1. The Center for Scientific Research in Kurdistan aims to defend and promote the historical legacy of the civilization of science and Anatolian Mézopatamienne 2. Be in particular to benefit members of the scientific community in Europe and the Kurdish two districts where they remain, these rights scientific, cultural, economic and social set out in international legal instruments in the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights. 3. Report violations of international law and human rights perpetrated against the people of Kurdistan, and in particular denounce the perpetrators. It is under the Department of Scientific Research Centre of Dersim Koçgiri perésidy by Kurdish Sociologue Miss Seve Evin Ciçek and who is entitled to follow these steps to follow the decision taken by CRSK. 4, Translate and judge in collaboration with international legal assistance to international courts of justice, government or private dealers who sell weapons of mass destruction (napalm, chemical or biological weapons, components of nuclear weapons, cluster bombs or incendiaries and explosives of all kinds to the States sharing the Kurdistan if it is proved that these weapons are used against the people of Kurdistan and of Dersim and Koçgiri 5 . Compensate the population for the use of weapons and gases used the above. 6, Calling on all national and international organizations, to all men of good will to participate in the reconstruction of Dersim and Koçgiri victims of war and mass destruction of villages to prevent the construction of eight dams on the river which Munzur has a length of 85 km. 4 7. Attend judicial members of the community Koçgiri (Sivas) and Dersim (Tunceli), where they remain and whatever their nationality, all matters and all legal problems, International Law and Internal Law. We consider that the current science and the scientific purpose of the dissemination of science to a science of reality theoretical analysis of the issue of organization of scientific knowledge requires a determination of the orientation of the development of science and study of their application areas. In this sense, we consider it impossible to resolve the issues of reorganization of scientific knowledge and its relationship with the company by asking these questions is in the human sciences or science of nature, as the purely methodological and totally ignore the epistemological qualities, either as purely epistemological questions that completely ignores the methodological issues of knowledge and science (the dialectic of abstraction), or as purely economic and political issues while completely ignoring the application of science to production. However, this means that the rigorous application of science to production is a necessity because the needs of society are made to the needs of science, whose satisfaction depend essentially on the level of production, the state of the technical and material possibilities of the scientific potential of the company itself. The scientific orientation of our approach to the founding of the Center for Scientific Research in Kurdistan depends primarily on the reorganization of the human sciences of the natural sciences and earth sciences and space in second place the interpretation of the purpose of basic and applied sciences.

This speech was not only of great importance because of its contents and coverage, but also because it was based on precise data and historic scientific evidence. In his speech Dr. Nebez covered various subjects, e.g. pre- Christian ancient history and the mythology of the Kurds, the cultural height and depth of the Kurdish people in the shadow of the numerous expeditions by alien peoples through Kurdistan, the astounding variety of religions in Kurdistan, with special stress on syncretism as the most striking feature of the Kurdish religious culture, delineating syncretism as inherently different from mixed religions. As an analytically thinking scientist (physicist) the speaker did not get stuck in the past, nor was his speech 3 Jemal Nebez The Kurds; History and Culture an archaeological presentation, but an Archigenesis, which in fluent transition reaches from past epochs to the present situation of the Kurdish people.

It was really an interesting statement to me; it made me think of two things, the first one is the intention behind this statement, while the second was the attitude of Kurds, especially Kurd musicians, towards researchers and researching. As for the first thing, I felt that there was a problem, maybe a social or psychological, of the Kurdish people in general, and the musicians in particular.

    Online Open Access for articles in this issue is sponsored by Ahmed Foundation for Kurdish Studies (USA). OBITUARY: KHANNA Prof Dr Ol’ga Zhigalina (1946–2013) OMARKHALI Professor Ol’ga Ivanovna Zhigalina, the well-known Russian Kurdologist and Iranist and director of the Kurdish Cabinet at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Science (Institút vostokovédenija Rossíjskoj akadémii naúk) in Moscow, sadly passed away at her place of work on 23rd October, 2013. Over four decades Professor Zhigalina made an immense contribution to the field of Kurdology and the modern history of the Kurds, and her work continues to resonate in this field. Russia is often considered the cradle of Kurdish studies (kurdovédenie), which developed in Leningrad,1 Yerevan and Moscow. One might, however, not realise that Kurdish studies in the Soviet Union was founded and devel- oped as an independent interdisciplinary field. The USSR then ranked first in the world in Kurdish studies; no other country had as large and as qualified team of specialists. 75 Most readers outside of Russia are unlikely to have ever heard of Ol’ga Zhi- galina, since her works are practically not available in any language other than Russian.2 She was, however, one of the prominent Kurdologists who contrib- uted greatly to the survival of Kurdish studies in Russia,3 particularly in Mos- cow. Ol’ga Zhigalina completed her degree in Romano-Germanic Philology at M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (Moskóvskij gosudárstvennyj universitét ímeni M.V. Lomonósova) in 1969.4 In the same year she began to work at the Institute of Oriental Studies and the following year was appointed as a junior research fellow in the Central Asia Division of the Institute, led at that time by Khanna Omarkhali is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Iranian Studies, University of Göttingen, Germany.

  • The Kurdish Diaspora in Canada: a Study of Political Activism and the Uses of the Kurdish Language
    The Kurdish Diaspora in Canada: A Study of Political Activism and The Uses of The Kurdish Language Esengul Tasdemir Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa Ó Esengul Tasdemir, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 Abstract This thesis focuses on the Kurdish people of Turkey, who have struggled and advocated for a separate nation-state of their own. The Turkish state’s denial of Kurdish identity, and its heavy assimilation and oppression of the Kurdish people have turned some Kurds into political activists, both in Turkey and in the diaspora. In addition, the historical ban and current stigmatization of the Kurdish language have crystallized the importance and centrality of the language, particularly for both Kurdish identity and the Kurdish movement. This thesis explores the forms of political activism in Canada of the Kurds originating in Turkey, and the role of the Kurdish language in their activism. Using a qualitative research design, interviews with activists and participant observations were conducted in the cities of Toronto and Montréal. The findings draw attention to the significance of community centres as umbrella institutions for political activism, and as sites for the enactment of different forms of collective resistance. The study also illustrates that the role of the Kurdish language in activism is more salient at a representational level. That is, the Kurdish language is represented as the main identity marker fuelling activism, implying that speaking Kurdish is an act of resistance and thus political.

  • A Study of European, Persian, and Arabic Loans in Standard Sorani
    A Study of European, Persian, and Arabic Loans in Standard Sorani Jafar Hasanpoor Doctoral dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Iranian languages presented at Uppsala University 1999. ABSTRACT Hasanpoor, J. 1999: A Study of European, Persian and Arabic Loans in Standard Sorani. Reports on Asian and African Studies (RAAS) 1. XX pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1353-7. This dissertation examines processes of lexical borrowing in the Sorani standard of the Kurdish language, spoken in Iraq, Iran, and the Kurdish diaspora. Borrowing, a form of language contact, occurs on all levels of language structure. In the pre-standard literary Kurdish (Kirmanci and Sorani) which emerged in the pre-modern period, borrowing from Arabic and Persian was a means of developing a distinct literary and linguistic tradition. By contrast, in standard Sorani and Kirmanci, borrowing from the state languages, Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, is treated as a form of domination, a threat to the language, character, culture, and national distinctness of the Kurdish nation. The response to borrowing is purification through coinage, internal borrowing, and other means of extending the lexical resources of the language. As a subordinate language, Sorani is subjected to varying degrees of linguistic repression, and this has not allowed it to develop freely. Since Sorani speakers have been educated only in Persian (Iran), or predominantly in Arabic, European loans in Sorani are generally indirect borrowings from Persian and Arabic (Iraq). These loans constitute a major source for lexical modernisation. The study provides wordlists of European loanwords used by Hêmin and other codifiers of Sorani.

That is, journals and associations which sought to represent and promote the interests of particular ethnic communities residing in the vast domains of the Sultan. While these journals and organisations entertained the broader socio- political objective of ‘awakening’, by means of education, their community, this invites the question: to what ends? In traditional historiography, the presence of such journals and associations has been taken as a sign of the historical obsolescence of the ‘multi-ethnic’ state. This point of view holds that the formation of these journals and organisations was the first ‘proto-nationalist’ stage in a progressive development which ultimately culminated in the formation of fully fledged nationalist movements and new nation-states.

  • Transnational Media and Migrants in Europe: the Case of the Mediated Turkish-Kurdish Ethno-National Conflict
    Transnational Media and Migrants in Europe: The Case of the mediated Turkish-Kurdish Ethno-National Conflict A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Yilmaz Keles School of Social Sciences Department of Sociology and Communications Brunel University July 2011 1 Full Title of Thesis Transnational Media and Migrants in Europe: The Case of the mediated Turkish-Kurdish Ethno-National Conflict Short Title of Thesis Transnational Media Audiences and Conflict: Turks and Kurds in Europe 2 Abstract This PhD examines the role of the transnational media in articulating and mobilizing different political and identity positions for migrants. It explores the complex linkages between Kurdish and Turkish transnational ethnic media and migrant communities. It is based on 74 in-depth interviews and 6 focus groups with Kurdish and Turkish migrants of diverse age, gender, political affiliation, occupation and length of migration in London, Berlin and Stockholm. Drawing upon the concepts of “imagined community” (Anderson 1991) and “banal nationalism” (Billig 1995), it seeks to understand how migrants make sense of the media representations of the ethno-national conflict between the Turkish state and the Kurds and how they position themselves in relation to these media texts. The thesis explores how the media impact differentially on migrants’ views and ethnic identities in the three countries. This study argues that transnational media speak on behalf of the nation to the nation, even if the members of these imagined national communities live in different places, connecting people across different geographical spaces and thus building transnational imagined communities. They create a sense of belonging to a meaningful imagined community defined as “our” nation.

  • Kurdish Men's Experiences of Migration- Related Mental Health Issues
    Primary Health Care Research & Development 2011; 12: 335–347 doi:10.1017/S1463423611000156 RESEARCH Kurdish men’s experiences of migration- related mental health issues Marina Taloyan1, Ahmad Al-Windi1,2, Leena Maria Johansson1 and Nuha Saleh-Stattin1 1Center for Family and Community Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden 2Department of Family and Community Medicine, College of Medicine, Sulaimani University, Kurdistan, Iraq Background: The migration process may impose stress on the mental health of immigrants. Aim: To describe the experiences of immigrant men of Kurdish ethnicity during and after migration to Sweden with regard to mental health issues. Method: Using the grounded theory method, we conducted a focus group interview with four Kurdish men and in-depth individual interviews with 10 other Kurdish men. Findings: A model with two major themes and interlinked categories was developed. The themes were (1) protective factors for good mental health (sense of belonging, creation and re-creation of Kurdish identity, sense of freedom, satisfaction with oneself) and (2) risk factors for poor mental health (worry about current political situation in the home country, yearning, lack of sense of freedom, dissatisfaction with Swedish society). Implications: The study provides insights into the psychological and emotional experiences of immigrant men of Kurdish ethnicity during and after migration to Sweden. It is important for primary health care providers to be aware of the impact that similar migration-related and life experiences have on the health status of immigrants, and also to be aware that groups are comprised of unique individuals with differing experiences and reactions to these experiences. The findings highlight the common themes of the men’s experiences and suggest ways to ameliorate mental health issues, including feeling like one is seen as an individual, is a full participant in society, and can contribute to one’s own culture.
