Iraqi Kurdistan: Festival Planned to Increase Genocide Awareness
Preparations for a Kurdish culture festival are underway in Georgia in
a bid to raise awareness on the Kurdish genocide and to draw links
between it and the Armenian genocide.
Below is an article published by AKnews:
Badrkhan Publishers is organizing a Kurdish culture festival in
Georgia for the end of this month to raise awareness of the Kurdish
and Armenian genocides.
Director of the publishers Hamid Badrkhan said: "In order to build a
bridge between Kurds and world, we decided to hold a culture festival
in Georgia on August 28 [2012]."
Badrkhan said a collection of activities will be carried out under the
name "Kurdistan towards a bright future", such as seminars, an art
exhibition and parties.
The director added: "Children and women are also participating in the
event to show their work."
Preparations for the festival are now complete. Forty Kurdish artists
and intellectuals from the UK have confirmed their participation in
the event.
On June 14, 1988 the former Iraqi regime carried out a series of
genocides under the name Anfal against the Kurdish people.
