I hate to be negative however the indoor Newroz celebration looked more like a political rally than a Newroz celebration which was disappointing. The outdoor Newroz celebration actually had the Kurdish National flag and no political propaganda which felt more inclusive of all Kurds. Newroz is a celebration of our culture and Nation not political affiliations. Otherwise a great video. May God bless and protect the Kurdish Nation
But the bakuri celebration is and have been a political celebration for soon 80 years, it is not the same as in bashur and other places of Kurdistan, I think it was this channel who made a good video about newriz history expanding it very good..
For us, Newroz is PKK and Abdullah Öcalan. Coming together, showing strength, and demanding political rights and status. Got no time for bullshit dance on a mountain, come on, even for a person like you it is too less
The indoor celebration was attended by (the Kurdish Association in Stockholm) which has been doing this since the 90s. The theme has always been the same, the organizers have in the past invited many artits like nasser razazi, shiwan perwer and many more. it is for all Kurds regardless, you may have a different view of freedom but for us freedom is linked to öcelans ideology. In bashur we are quite in agreement about newroz and we say that its a symbol for spring coming but its more than that. The kurdish in bakur have been identified due to his struggle for kurds and kurdistan.The folks behind this party have, as I said, always celebrated newroz linked to the this ideology and ITS still a NEWROZ celebration for all the kurds who stands for freedom.
