Kurdish Lessons For Kashmiris

"After receiving the Sakharov Prize, European Union (EU)’s top human rights award, Leyla Zana, former Turkish deputy of Kurdish origin told the European Assembly in Brussels on 14 October that "Violence has outlived its time. The language and method of solution of our age is dialogue, compromise and peace. It is not 'die and kill,' but 'live and let live'.” "Everything that is not given a name and not defined is without identity. It is only the Kurds who do not have a name," added Zana. She said that her aim was to underline the brotherhood of people's languages and cultures. "The Kurds are determined for a peaceful solution within the territorial integrity of Turkey." She! spoke partly in Kurdish and partly in Turkish."Kurdish Lessons For Kashmiris By K. Gajendra Singh
