It's super easy. And I had no prior musical experience at all. You just need to follow patiently the basic exercises that they show. The online teachers guide you through every little step. The slower and more conscious you press the notes and move your hands, the faster you'll internalize it and get faster. Here some really great tutorials.
Depends on how much you exercise. In my case it took approximately 2 months until my hands were strong enough to hold the strings properly and get out a very basic melody of a song. It will differ with every person.
The little bit of history I know is that they were very instrumental in taking the Kurdish cause to the next level both in political and armed struggles. Being there for the creation on the republic of Kurdistan and then transferring the hopes of an independant Kurdistan to Bashur and it was Mustafa Barzani whom Qazi Muhammed gave the Kurdistan flag to. And their political and armed activism made them a specific target for an Anfal campaign where 8000 Barzanis were murdered.
I stand corrected but that doesn't fundamentally change the whole thing. The flag part could be seen in a metaphoric way that Qazi Muhammed passed the torch of revolution for Kurdistan's independence to Mustafa Barzani. And they did suffer more than many others who chose to become jash for money and status.
I know about Pinarcik and a couple of other killings like that, but were these massacres rules or exceptions? I find it hard to believe that PKK could kill as many civvies as Turkey blames them for even if they wanted to.
Loool, the Pinarcik massacre was carried out by the state-affiliated para-military group JITEM and blamed on the PKK. That user here has a track record of citing Turkish sources. You can take him with a "spoon" of salt.
You need to analyze these situations from diverse perspectives. I can't remember what Abdullah Öcalan wrote on this incident, but even without it - by comparative analysis + general knowledge, we can piece together what's up. Like, it happened a couple of times that "the PKK" claimed responsibility for an attack, thinking it was their own men, but later realizing what actually happened and wasn't the intention. What do you do then? You take responsibility. Especially when people that joined your ranks where able to pull their own stunts of revenge. The issue of individuals getting out of control and harming the whole movement, has been analyzed by Öcalan a lot in his books. But he did so out of his own feeling of responsibility for the lives of people. Not because it's been common or what defines the movement. As Öcalan often said, "humans cannot prevent mistakes from happening, when they decide to act. The only human in the world, that doesn't do anything wrong, is the one who does nothing." Now think in terms of the colonized and by a violent and racist army terrorized society. How can one expect everyone to join the guerrllas under harsh circumstance, to have the same paced character development? If they teach it in Rojava, then I suspect it to be used as an example of how every person seeking revolution needs to keep their anger and desire for revenge in reigns, or else tragedies happen. Basically a story to remind us that we need to be wary of character development. Turkish state propaganda generally sought to give the impression that the PKK as a movement is evil. They claimed that Kurdish guerrillas would cut prisoners into pieces and eat them up and worse. Soldiers believed such stories.
It's honestly the same as the Kurmanji from everywhere, with just a bit vernacular tweaks here and there. Sometimes some special terms used only in Efrîn, like qiçi (child) etc.
Honestly this is just a excuse . A parent who's not interested in teaching their kid about their culture won't do it no matter if he's got 1 hour a day for them or all day. I know way too many children of mixed marriages who only hang out with their Kurdish side and literally get raised by them and still do not speak the language . I've also seen plenty of Kurdish women not teach their kids their language. If you want your children to know your language make the effort. Let them watch Kurdish cartoons . Make sure they play with kids who speak Kurdish too. Build communities . There are so many ways to fix this. But most people are lazy and don't want to.
It's a question most Kurds ask themselves actually. Not few times one can witness how a Kurdish man/woman is marrying an individual of a ultra-fascist family. The thing is, that the so called "2 million Kurdish/turkish marriages" include "Kurdish/Kurdish marriages", where the latter is brainwashed to the level to hate on their own identity. Assimilated Kurds are counted as "Turks". When the child of a Kurdish family marries an individual of a "Turkish nationalist family", it creates an ugly abusive relation from the latter towards the former.
Hey, Thank you for responding. From the updated wikipedia article. Which has a a lot of fresh sources of information right now, it's incredible the challenges that the Kurdish people have faced throughout history. I'm so sorry you've had to live through one of the worst series of atrocities in our times right now. What I read, and I'm going through the article and other articles at the moment, it looks like Democracy really inspired your people as being denied it for so long. It's such a simple yet hard to create idea of people guiding our own governing; is this an accurate assessment?
Oda included features from different real-life revolutionaries to show how those who defend themselves against oppressors are criminalized. Monkey D. Dragon is the culmination of all revolutionaries in history.
Yes, it's been established as a historic truth some time ago. But because the Kurdish homeland is an occupied international colony, people ridicule these suggestions. Kurds protected their oldest name from Hurrian times, and appear therefore more ancient and original to those fanatic, colonial, extremist-religious and ignorant state identities. "Kur" means "Mountain" and "Highland". Same as "Hur"/"Ur".
This talk about ancestry really needs to become more intelligent in future. Because all these discussions are laced with nationalist, religious, or colonialist motivation. We fall prey to politics.
You find about those so called "waiting mothers" sources only in turkish, because they are an artificial initiative of the state. Individually these "Turkish" women might be real mothers, and may personally indeed "love" their own children, but it's well known that their activity was created as a racist counter initiative of the fascist state against the decade-old Kurdish 'Saturday Mothers'. Imagine the Klu klux klan forming a 'waiting mothers' group, to protest the black community. That's what it is. And again, the emotions of 'pointy-hat mothers' might be genuine, but still the pool of thought that they come from is ugly racism and hatred.
There are many things you can do, that are of gigantic benefit to your people. It's the dreams of many abroad to be in the YPG because that's what's mainly known about with world media covering the news about the defeat of Isis. But the YPG was only a reflection of that which was needed at that specific time. Kurds are organized in all kinds of ways and run all kinds of successful projects globally. You would do best to research more about Kurdish history and university projects for Rojava. Recently there was a conference of universities from all over the world about the university in Rojava. As a young student you would be able to get everybody in Canada know about the beautiful solutions that the progressive Kurdish movements have for peace in the Middle East. The YPG was just the self-defense mechanism of that society which organized itself into very effective communal administrations. There is a lot to discover. I will share you a couple of sources down below. You are btw also too young to be accepted into the YPG, and even if you had been old enough, you would be asked to help in educational and social responsibilities. What our people needs is building up. You know perfectly English, and would at your current age be able to teach Kurds in Rojava English, if you manage to get into contact with the universities. There are websites and Emails. With people taught English, you would open the doors for international diplomacy and business. It's just an example, but good at showing how well one can help even in distance. Try to think what Rojava would need to build itself up, and which you could provide (and would love to do), and chose a university subject that enables it. As a student you would be able to hold seminaries about the Kurdish cause, and more people would start to care and support Rojava. Think in these terms. Life offers opportunities everywhere.
The could be many reasons. First, Kurds were living (and still are living) on their own land. They had everything one could ask for. (Not counting in the colonization of Kurdistan). What the masses didn't have, were bourgeois connections to travel to distant places such as the US. Often its that there will have been some family pioneering a life abroad, and others follow their path. But with Kurds, there is since over a hundred years a constant war against the colonization of their land, with many declaration of independence opposed by invaders violently. Nobody had the lifestyle or idea to seek some continent beyond the sea.
It's true. People need to understand that states are bound - at some point - to be big as***les because they are abstract and have no obligation to be decent. There needs to be a global understanding of humanity. Some politicians won't care for humanity.
How on earth do you think that 20/25 million people cannot even manage to have some basic rights? No it is not the oppression or the terror acts of the state, but it is the people not really WILLING to. This is the truth. In this universe you get wat you really really want. Of course this doesnt come without sacrifices and struggle. But the reason we don’t have it now yet is because, we as Kurds, we don’t really want it. Not talking about individuals by the way, but as a whole group.
I know that horrible things have been done. I am not saying that there havent been done awful things and that Kurds as individual aren’t strong or any other ethnic group that suffered. I really dont want to disrespect anyone.
I understand. Then you need to try and think less about the negative things you have seen, and focus on doing some positive steps yourself. There is no way around. Be better than those around you, and they'll follow your example. Stay without hope, and no hope will arise around you. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
No my friend I don't agree The only ultimate solution is war, men who fight Honestly the world is not gonna do anything for u (except that they might post some statements here and there but nothing more)

Thank you for the links! May I ask how long it took before you were able to play basic songs?

Do not spread misinformation. Are you out of your mind? The Ottomans genocided over 1 million Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Armenians in Sayfo.
Easy.
Hmm. By my experience the question to everybody should not be "what people think", but "what people know" about that term.

Being there for the creation on the republic of Kurdistan and then transferring the hopes of an independant Kurdistan to Bashur and it was Mustafa Barzani whom Qazi Muhammed gave the Kurdistan flag to.

Hi there, thank you very much for sharing your positive thoughts. It means a lot.

I've read the allegations against JITEM but I'm confused by them because PKK claimed responsibility themselves?

This is actually a serious issue , there are also ALOT of songs stolen from Armenians by the turks
It would be great if you could make a compilation of those. It's an important proof for how statehood is built on fake myth.
It's honestly the same as the Kurmanji from everywhere, with just a bit vernacular tweaks here and there. Sometimes some special terms used only in Efrîn, like qiçi (child) etc.
That person is incoherent in those comments and doesn't seem to have tried to read history, nor to have any ethnographic understanding.

What you mean is not "war" but "relentless self-defense until liberation". It goes hand in hand with information/awareness
Yea and that is a war
So do your part in raising awareness :)
