Only careful political manoeuvring will be able to manage the situation. ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
Sooner or later our dream will become a true, (Independence) ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
There are people who haven't faced the reality of what has gone on in Iraq. They still think that the old central state is going to be put back together again. It's not going to happen in Kurdistan. It's not going to happen in the south. It's not going to happen in Baghdad. ~ Peter W. Galbraith
Kurdistan quotes by Peter W. Galbraith
In Kurdistan, there's a lot of hardship - a lot of wars, a lot of bitter and difficult lifestyles. And witnessing all those made me a director. ~ Bahman Ghobadi
Kurdistan quotes by Bahman Ghobadi
We don't want to have a child that has many illnesses, and that will pass away after a few months. A child must have a good environment, and parents that will take care of it.
[...] It [a Kurdish state] must be a part of stability in this area. ~ Fuad Hussein
Kurdistan quotes by Fuad Hussein
Firstly, the Azerbaijanian struggle for a measure of autonomy and self-government is genuine and is locally inspired. The facts of history and existing conditions show that Azerbaijan has always been struggling to overthrow the feudal conditions imposed upon it (and upon the rest of Iran) by corrupt Iranian Governments.
Secondly, the extent of Russian interference appeared to be negligible. In our travels we saw few Russian troops, and in Kurdistan we saw none at all. The leaders of the Azerbaijanian Government are not Russians but Azerbaijanians, and with few exceptions their sole aim seems to be the recovery and improvement and economic reform of Azerbaijan. There may be some Russian influence by indirect means, but I would suggest that it is less than our own influence in Iran which we exercise by direct control of ministers, political parties, state financiers, and by petty bribery.
As for Kurdish Independence. The Kurds ask for an independence of their own making, not an independence sponsored by the British Government. Like the Azerbaijanians the Kurds are seeking real autonomy, and more than that, self-determination. Our present scheme to take them over and use them as a balancing factor in the political affairs of the Middle East is a reflection upon the honest of our intentions, and a direct blow at the spirit of all good men. ~ James Aldridge
Kurdistan quotes by James Aldridge
Whenever we went out to film in the street we would end up in the police station and in the offices of some other security agency. They deliberately intimidated us. I moved to Kurdistan and changed my name and made my first feature film in Kurdistan with very basic resources. ~ Hassan Blasim
Kurdistan quotes by Hassan Blasim
Future generations must always learn about what took place in sinjar so it never happens again. ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
It's a little-known fact that most terrorist groups fail, and that all of them die. Lest this seem hard to believe, just reflect on the world around you. Israel continues to exist, Northern Ireland is still a part of the United Kingdom, and Kashmir is a part of India. There are no sovereign states in Kurdistan, Palestine, Quebec, Puerto Rico, Chechnya, Corsica, Tamil Eelam, or Basque Country. The Philippines, Algeria, Egypt, and Uzbekistan are not Islamist theocracies; nor have Japan, the United States, Europe, and Latin America become religious, Marxist, anarchist, or new-age utopias. The numbers confirm the impressions. ~ Steven Pinker
Kurdistan quotes by Steven Pinker
The feeling of being an Iraqi unites all ethnic groups within this country. Even the Kurds, who have traditionally pushed for their own state, see the benefits of the current situation. They enjoy an autonomous status in Kurdistan, while at the same time participating in decisions in Baghdad. But if neighboring states were to push for a partition of Iraq, it would be a horrible mistake. ~ Zalmay Khalilzad
Kurdistan quotes by Zalmay Khalilzad
I first visited Kurdistan in 2003. I arrived in the town of Sulaimaniyah, courtesy of smugglers who drove me across the border from Iran. Sulaimaniyah was a small, charming provincial Kurdish town. ~ Luke Harding
Kurdistan quotes by Luke Harding
Because I worked as a newspaper reporter for about 14 years before attempting my first novel, I learned to write under almost any circumstances- by candle light, in longhand, in African villages where there was no power, under shelling in Kurdistan. ~ Geraldine Brooks
Kurdistan quotes by Geraldine Brooks
The history of Kurdistan doesn't just tell us why it hasn't become independent so far. It also helps to make the case for Kurdistan's independence. It is a desire founded, not just on some passing modern whim in that direction, or on spurious claims to natural and obvious borders, but on a sustained historical focus and desire by its people, on pre-existing promises, on the need for protection from the kind of atrocities that have historically been perpetrated against the Kurds, and on the rather artificial way in which Kurdistan has been denied its existence in the past. ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
The memory of Mullah Mustafa Barzani has become a crucial part of the idea of what it means to be Kurdish today. ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
Our children's won't learn Kurdish Language fluently if we don't tech them. ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
I love music; I come from a region of Kurdistan that is a base for music. ~ Bahman Ghobadi
Kurdistan quotes by Bahman Ghobadi
I had first visited Kurdistan in 2003 before the invasion of Iraq, camping out in Erbil and Sulaimaniya while waiting for Saddam Hussein's fall. ~ Lynsey Addario
Kurdistan quotes by Lynsey Addario
All along, American policy has been, 'We don't establish a Kurdistan.' ~ Raymond T. Odierno
Kurdistan quotes by Raymond T. Odierno
We Kurd must do everything in our power to create structures which prevent the repeat of mass murder by our adversaries,
And It's better to call for independence. ~ Davan Yahya Khalil
Kurdistan quotes by Davan Yahya Khalil
Let's stand against the killing of innocent civilians. It is time to make the future better than today. Together we can bring peace and unity to our communities. ~ Widad Akreyi
Kurdistan quotes by Widad Akreyi
I left Kurdistan in April 2003 with the peshmerga, following their excited advance as Saddam's forces crumbled. First Kirkuk, then Mosul - where looters broke into the city museum and seized its Parthian sculptures - then Tikrit. I reported from Baghdad in month-long stints until the end of 2004. ~ Luke Harding
Kurdistan quotes by Luke Harding
We are trying to persuade all the Iraqi opposition to come breathe freedom in Iraq and use liberated Kurdistan as a base for our common struggle. ~ Jalal Talabani
